We finished putting together our bat lapbook over the weekend. This lapbook went with our unit on Stellaluna and Bats. The unit came from HSS, where else?! I wanted to mention that lapbooks don’t have to be complicated. Ours certainly are not. It also doesn’t have to be a bunch of mini-books that you cut out. We didn’t do alot of “tradional” lapbook stuff with this one, but it still turned out cute and is a great way for the girls to have a visual of their week learning about bats. If ...

Bat crafts
This week, while learning about bats, we have done 2 cute crafts. The first idea I took from No Time for Flashcards, a bat made out of the kids handprints. We didn’t glue ours onto orange paper, but instead we are going to put these on the front of our lapbooks for the week! I think the reason ours don’t look as much like bats as the ones I linked to is that I didn’t make their handprints long enough, I should have extended the hands a bit more. Oh well, they are still cute. And then ... Read More about Bat crafts

Our Treasure Maps
Today the kids helped me on a fun craft…making a treasure map! As we were working on this project together Hannah announced that this was the best craft she had ever done! LOL! We followed the directions from the HSS Pirate lapbook/unit to make this map and it worked very well! First we crumpled up the paper to get it all wrinkled. Then, we tore off the edges of our papers. Using a medicine dropper, we dripped tea onto our papers to stain them. We sprinkled cinnamon around the edges ... Read More about Our Treasure Maps
