Bat week

The bat unit is one of my favorite units I get to teach during the year!!

We compared bats and owls

Our mama/daddy bat experiment

We got in the fall spirit and used candy corn to practice making 10's and 1's

We worked with partners during math

We also worked on using ten frames to write addition problems
