It’s All About the Bats, the Bats, and a FREEBIE!

When fall comes around, it tends to get

B-A-T-T-Y in our classroom!

Teaching about bats is one of my favorite topics in the fall since we can do so much research and discuss about facts and fiction!  Plus, who doesn’t love these gentle, misunderstood creatures?!

To start our learning on bats, we read some nonfiction and fiction books on them.  There are so many amazing books on bats that I have come to love, so it’s hard to narrow them down.  However, I have made a list of my favorites below.

Disclosure: Some of the links are affiliated links, meaning that I will earn a commission if you click through the links and make a purchase.

Bats- An easy to read book for little learners on bat facts!

Amazing Bats- Facts and more facts on bats.

Bats- Another classic book from Gail Gibbons on our furry friends!

Stellaluna- A classic on a baby bat finding her mom and way back home.

Bats at the Library- If bats were at the library, what would they do?  Read to find out!

After reading, we make a  list of facts and myths on bats on an anchor chart.

From this list, the students then chose one fact and one fictional statement about bats and write them onto their Fact & Fiction boxes.  After completion, students cut and glued their boxes onto their bats.

If you would like the make your own Fact & Fiction Bat, click to the image below and download a copy of the tracers for FREE!  For the Fact & Fiction boxes, click here.
