Going Batty!

It's the 3rd Week of October and I feel we still have so much to cover on our school schedule. I know it's just going to happen since I am away 3 days next week. 

Today we started our Bat unit, had some playtime at a Farm Market and art was using or cookie cutter stampers!  I needed to get corn stalks and large pumpkins for our HUGE Halloween Bash this weekend....

BATS


Did you know that bats are put into two categories:

Microbats 
and Megabats

They can also fly up to 60 MPH!


Bat daubers fun



Scholastic work - bat questions




More dauber fun - found these cute print outs 



WHAT WE READ TOGETHER


Great book about this Bat who wanted to play soccer with these other teams. 
Team "A" the animals
Team "B" the birds.
You see he thought that the "A" team would win because they looked stronger
However the "B" team could fly...
Great outcome..great book..encourage you to go seek it out at your library!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
