1st Grade Bats

To begin this lesson, we read Bat Jamboree. This book was pretty cute.
Next, each student received a 9 x 12" piece of brown paper to draw their bat. I told the students to draw their bat the size of the paper so it would be easy to cut out. We drew the bat right-side up; I felt like it was easier than upside-down. We stated with the head, the ears, the neck, and then the body. For the body, I told students to draw a heart with a flat bottom and then a diagonal line through it. Lastly, we drew the face and feet. Students drew the body with pencil first, and then traced over all their lines with Sharpie.
We then cut out the bat and glued it to a 9 x 12" black paper. Students then used construction paper crayons to decorate the background.
