This first grade class has been SUPER busy! We've been learning how to sign onto the computer by ourselves, we have been allowed to go to the computer lab another 45 minutes, and we are learning how to use Lexia all while doing our everyday needs of reading, writing, phonics, comprehension, math, ELD, social studies and science! The kiddos are doing great with all these challenges. Their teacher...is exhausted!

This week our theme has been bats. There is a definite divide in our class about whether or not we like bats. We wrote our opinion writing about whether we think bats are scary or not. So many of them are truly scared of bats. So I looked up some Youtube videos on bats just for kids. I've never had absolutely zero noise while watching a video. These kiddos were amazed at what they saw.I love using Youtube to show them real life videos of the science info we are learning. I even found a video about vampire bats and thought that if they saw how they just licked the blood of animals, they would be less fearful of bats. Nope...it even freaked me out a little. Those bats are not as little as I thought!

Check out the video and see what you think!!
We also managed to write our informative writing and do our CLOSE reader about bats this week.
Bats will leak into next week. There is so much to learn about! The kids are loving it though so it's ok to get a little behind schedule.
