For the past two weeks we have been learning about bats!
First, we created a KWL chart and brainstormed everything we know about bats and what we want to know about bats. Then, we learned about informational texts. Feature Fish, from our Critter Cafe taught us that an informational text is a nonfiction book, it increases our knowledge and makes us smarter, it teaches us about a topic, and it teaches us facts (true can be proven). We also learned the parts of a non-fiction story such as the table of contents, index and glossary.
The next day, we brainstormed everything bats have, are, and can do. Then, we made a bat craft!
We learned the parts of a bat, what a mammal is, what a colony is and what nocturnal means.
After, we discussed the difference between a fact, opinion & myth. We learned that bats can eat 600 mosquito's in one hour! We sorted 600 mosquito's on to 6 paper plates. Then we graphed everyone's opinions on bats. Almost everyone in the class thought bats were cute!
If you are interested in purchasing any of these handouts you can purchase them on Teachers Pay Teachers.
