What educators are saying
This is a great resource for learning about bats! So many fun activities to choose from and I love the vocabulary cards that can be printed to hang up for reference. Thank you for a great product!
My students loved this resource. I used it in collaboration with a room transformation, it was perfectly aligned and gave them the independent practice they needed.
Description

This packet will help your kindergarten and first grade students learn, understand, and practice using the science terms used when talking about a bat. It also will provide you with resources to make your unit come to life. By integrating science and non-fiction into your language lessons, you not only create an enthusiasm in your students, but you can create the "hook" you need to engage even the most reluctant learners.
This packet includes many resources including: fully written out 5-E lesson plans, 3- part cards, pocket chart cards, (both featuring high quality pictures) student vocabulary books, center activities, posters, recording pages, science activities/projects, and so much more!
