Peek at My Week: All About Bats

October 20, 2014 by Tamara

Bats are what’s up in my room this week, folks! ๐Ÿ™‚
As always, thanks Dee Dee for hosting this! ๐Ÿ™‚
Two of my favorite books for the season are Bats at the Ballgame and Bat Loves the Night! ๐Ÿ™‚  Both have great vocabulary and make a balanced approach as anchor texts during a week of study! ๐Ÿ™‚

This week, I’ll be using my Bats Unit in class! ๐Ÿ™‚
I fell in love with a few books last year, so I wrote some explicit plans for them, and created the math, literacy and writing extensions to support my plans.  I’m so excited to break this puppy out again this year! ๐Ÿ™‚

One of my favorite parts of the unit is the emergent reader! ๐Ÿ™‚  I focused on student friendly phrases and text so that my kids could read it fluently.
Now for my plans…

This is the bare bones this week, folks! ๐Ÿ™‚
Report cards are due tomorrow and I’ve still got to finish them up! :/
