I’m so excited that a new, updated edition of A Place for Bats became available on
April 1. As with the original version, there are all kinds of ways you can use
it in the classroom.
For
starters, there’s a Teacher’s
Guide
that makes connections to a wide variety of Next Generation Science Standards
and Common Core standards as well as additional activities.
You
can also share one or two spreads of A
Place for Bats to support NGSS PE K-ESS3-3 for K students or read the whole
book as part of a lesson that addresses NGSS PE 5-ESS3-1 for grade 5 students.

The
main text of A Place for Bats has
both a cause & effect text structure and a problem-solution text structure,
while many of the sidebars compare past human activities that hurt bats to
current more bat-friendly activities. That makes it a great mentor text for
students learning about nonfiction text structures. These
resources can help you use the book to build lessons that
look at nonfiction text structures.
