Learning about bats is fascinating for kids. They think bats are scary, but bats do so much to help us. In this post, I share teaching ideas to help your students with learning about bats and their benefits.
Book Suggestions for learning about bats:

This summer, we offered aย Summer Reading Campย for selected students at my school, and one of the themes the children asked me to plan was a Bats and Birds Theme. ย We were able to use quite a few resources from TPT, ย and the children thoroughly enjoyed the week. ย
Here are the titles I loved and used for the week:
- Bats at the Beach
- Bats at the Ballgame
- Bats by Gail Gibbons (nonfiction)
- Bats National Geographic Reader
- Stellaluna
- Fiona the Fruit Bat
