Bat Books

Here is a list of Bat-themed books to supplement the unit. The fiction books make great read-alouds, and the nonfiction books are good for student research. Happy reading!

Notes to Teacher:

CAN ARE HAVE Graphic Organizer

Use this graphic organizer at the beginning of the unit to brainstorm what students already know about bats. Continue to add to it as you proceed through the unit. Examples: Bats can fly. Bats are mammals. Bats have wings.

Bob the Bat

Bob the bat can only eat foods that start with the letter B. Students will circle the words that start with “B” and draw an x over the words that do not.

Making Words

Have students cut out the letters of nocturnal and see how many words they can make. Encourage students to use what they know about word families to help them find words. This makes a great independent activity, center activity, or even an activity to send home for family fun.

Notes to Teacher:

Fruity –at Words Game

Materials (for each group): game board coin game pieces fruit tokens Directions:

1. Have students flip a coin. Heads moves one space. Tails moves two. 2. When students land on a space, have them write that letter in front of

–at on their recording sheet. 3. If they can read the –at word correctly, they can choose a fruit token. If

they can use it in a sentence, they get an extra. 4. Encourage students to play until all students have reached the end.

Multiple Meaning Words

Students will use context clues to determine which words fit into both sentences. To extend this activity, you can keep a class chart of words with multiple meanings and add to the chart as students discover new words throughout the year.

Notes to Teacher:

Place Value Match Up

Students will match a two-digit number with the expanded form version of that number.

Shape Search

Have students travel around the classroom (or playground) in search of real-life examples of plane shapes. Students will record their findings on the chart. If you have digital cameras available, you can give each group of students a digital camera and have them take pictures of the objects.

Batty Addition

Students will practice their 2-digit plus 2-digit addition skills. They do not need to regroup to solve any of the problems.

Bat Fruit Bar Graph

Fruit bats like to feast on juicy tropical fruits such as mango, guava, papaya, pineapple, orange, kiwi, banana, and star fruit. Bring in five different fruits for students to sample. Have students choose their favorite. Take a class poll and create a bar graph with the results.

Notes to Teacher:

Nocturnal Animals

Have students read the nonfiction passage, or you can read it aloud. Use the passage to answer the questions about nocturnal animals. You can have students research nocturnal animals and record their findings on the back of the page.

Echolocation Partner Search

Bats have a weak sense of sight and rely on their other senses, especially hearing. They communicate through a system of echoes called echolocation. In this activity, students will be required to rely on their hearing to find their partners.

1. Pass out one animal card to each student. Make sure each animal has a match. *If you have an odd number of students, you can participate as a partner.

2. Remind students not to show anyone else their card. 3. Students will whisper the sound that is written on the card. For

example, if a student has the cow card, he/she will whisper “moo.” 4. Whisper the sound continuously while walking around the classroom

and listening for other sounds. 5. Students will continue whispering and walking until they find their

matching sound. 6. Remind students they can ONLY whisper the sound on their card. 7. Once they find their match, have them stand toe-to-toe with their

partner.

Notes to Teacher:

Bat Diagram

Students will label the bat diagram with the correct body part. This is a great activity for sight word practice. Most of the body parts are self-explanatory, but it may be interesting to point out to students that yes bats have thumbs!

Create a Bat Habitat

Materials: Shoebox for each student Various assortment of arts supplies (clay, tissue paper, construction paper, pipe cleaners, etc…) Show students pictures of bat caves or other habitats. Have students create their own habitat with the art supplies and the shoe box. This can be a home project, or it can be completed in class. Student directions are included below.

Common  Core  State  Standards  All  of  my  unit  plans  follow  the  Common  Core  State  Standards  (CCSS).      

Below  you  will  find  some  of  the  specific  core  standards  covered  in  this  unit  plan:    

English  Language  Arts  

Reading  Literature  

Key  Ideas  and  Details  1. Ask  and  answer  questions  about  key  details  in  a  text.  

2. Retell  familiar  stories,  including  key  details.  3. Identify  characters,  settings,  and  major  events  in  a  story.  

Integration  and  Support  7. Describe  the  relationship  between  illustrations  and  the  story  in  which  they  appear  (e.g.,  what  

moment  in  a  story  an  illustration  depicts).  

10. Actively  engage  in  group  reading  activities  with  purpose  and  understanding.  

Reading  Informational  Texts  1. Ask  and  answer  questions  about  key  details  in  a  text.  2. Identify  the  main  topic  and  retell  key  details  of  a  text.  9. Identify  basic  similarities  in  and  differences  between  two  texts  on  the  same  topic  (e.g.,  in  

illustrations,  descriptions,  or  procedures).  

Foundational  Skills  1.  Demonstrate  understanding  of  the  organization  and  basic  features  of  print.  

a) Follow  words  from  left  to  right,  top  to  bottom,  and  page  by  page.  b) Recognize  that  spoken  words  are  represented  in  written  language  by  specific  sequences  of  

letters.  

c) Understand  that  words  are  separated  by  spaces  in  print.  d) Recognize  and  name  all  upper-­‐  and  lowercase  letters  of  the  alphabet.  

2.  Demonstrate  understanding  of  spoken  words,  syllables,  and  sounds  (phonemes).  

a) Recognize  and  produce  rhyming  words.  b) Count,  pronounce,  blend,  and  segment  syllables  in  spoken  words.  

c) Blend  and  segment  onsets  and  rimes  of  single-­‐syllable  spoken  words.  

Page 44: 100% Based on Common Core State Standardskindergartenunitplans.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/...100% Based on Common Core State Standards A Multidisciplinary Thematic Unit Plan ©2013

d) Isolate  and  pronounce  the  initial,  medial  vowel,  and  final  sounds  (phonemes)  in  three-­‐phoneme  (consonent-­‐vowel-­‐consonent,  or  CVC)  words.*  (This  does  not  include  CVCs  ending  with  /l/,  /r/,  

or  /x/.)  e) Add  or  substitute  individual  sounds  (phonemes)  in  simple,  one-­‐syllable  words  to  make  new  

words.  

Writing  

Text  Type  and  Purpose  1. Use  a  combination  of  drawing,  dictating,  and  writing  to  compose  opinion  pieces  in  which  they  

tell  a  reader  the  topic  or  the  name  of  the  book  they  are  writing  about  and  state  an  opinion  or  

preference  about  the  topic  or  book  (e.g.,  My  favorite  book  is  .  .  .).  2. Use  a  combination  of  drawing,  dictating,  and  writing  to  compose  informative/explanatory  texts  

in  which  they  name  what  they  are  writing  about  and  supply  some  information  about  the  topic.  3. Use  a  combination  of  drawing,  dictating,  and  writing  to  narrate  a  single  event  or  several  loosely  

linked  events,  tell  about  the  events  in  the  order  in  which  they  occurred,  and  provide  a  reaction  to  what  happened.  

Production  and  Distribution  of  Writing  5. With  guidance  and  support  from  adults,  respond  to  questions  and  suggestions  from  peers  and  

add  details  to  strengthen  writing  as  needed.  

Research  to  Build  and  present  Knowledge  7. Participate  in  shared  research  and  writing  projects  (e.g.,  explore  a  number  of  books  by  a  favorite  

author  and  express  opinions  about  them).  8. With  guidance  and  support  from  adults,  recall  information  from  experiences  or  gather  

information  from  provided  sources  to  answer  a  question.    

Mathematics  Each  unit  plan  focuses  on  a  distinct  few  core  standards,  therefore  not  all  of  the  standards  described  below  will  apply  to  any  one  unit  plan.    There  is  also  considerable  overlap  between  the  grades.  

Kindergarten
