Batty Freebie!

I have been MIA for a while, but that has been because I have been terribly busy (although that has not stopped me from visiting my favorite blogs for ideas).  Since I've been missing, I wanted to share a Halloween inspired freebie.  I hope that you can use it.  Options are to print it like a worksheet, have it like a game, or project it onto your smartboard.  Enjoy!

Some people had a problem downloading the doc.  If that happens to you, please leave your email address in the comments and I will happily send you the PDF.  :)

What a Week!

Well, I am now officially on Fall Break. I am so excited for this break because I have had quite a week.  Have you ever heard that bad things happen in threes? On Saturday, I came down with a cold and then, lucky me, broke my little toe.  Then, I came down with a bacterial infection. Yeah, that wasn't fun at all. So I went to school on Monday and had to leave before the kids came into the room. I am feeling much better today. I feel like a normal person again.
Since we had a short week this week, we didn't have a unit to teach in our Treasures series. I was so happy to have a couple of days to do some fun things I found on a few other blogs.

Bat activities from Fun in First Grade

I'm amazed with how many facts my kids learned about bats this week. Their new favorite word is "echolocation."

Here are some other pages I made about bats. Head over to my blog to grab a copy.

I planned on doing a smaller unit on spiders this week but didn't get it done since I was sick.  Here's a couple of sheets that I made. Grab a copy by heading over to my blog.

Hope you can use these in your classroom!
