Bats Activities Nonfiction Reading Unit

One of my favorite fall units to teach is this unit on bats. We transform our reading area into a batty cave, dress in black on the last day, and learn so many amazing things. During this week the focus reading strategy is fact vs. opinion although there is SO MUCH more included. Each day a different story will focus on fact vs. opinion and loads of review comprehension strategies we have already learned. Each week will include daily lesson plans, posters, parent connect letter, original strategy songs, comprehension strategies, literacy connections, extension activities, sort activities, and crafts. A digital bat book is also included that can be opened as a pdf file or PowerPoint.
