Educators
often ask me which of my books would work best in their classroom. So this
year, I’ve decided to feature a book each week and highlight related teaching
materials and strategies.
You
could share one or two spreads of A Place
for Bats to support NGSS PE K-ESS3-3 or read the whole book as part of a
lesson that addresses NGSS PE 5-ESS3-1.

I have also created a Teacher’s Guide that
makes connections to a wide variety of NGSS and Common Core standards. You can
find additional activities here.

A Place for Bats is chockfull of text
features, so you can use it as a mentor texts when discussing the wide range of
text features. You can also use the book in lessons that examine nonfiction
text structures. The main text has both a cause & effect text structure and
a problem-solution text structure, while many of the sibdebars compare past
human activities that hurt turtles to current more turtle-friendly activities.

I love bats! They're such incredible creatures and so integral to preserving balance in our ecosystems!
Thanks, Melissa!
I agree. Bats are pretty darn cool and thank goodness they eat so many mosquitoes!
