Bats and Facts!

Good grief!  Where does the time go?  Each time I sat down to blog I was sidetracked by something that would not wait!  Last weekend I was all set to settle in and blog away and then the snow began.  For those of you who are not on the north coast, the snow came to the tune of 22 inches here...the day before HALLOWEEN!  Can you believe that trick or treat had to be postponed?  The power outages were pretty wide spread, but all turned out well. 
We have been studying bats.  These fascinating creatures have been the focus of many projects we have completed in first grade.  I will post about our informational text soon, but today I would like to share with you our bat fact families!


We created our bats using construction paper, staples, googly eyes and a whole lot of love!  After we made them, each student was given three numbers to use to create a fact family.


The numbers the student had to work with are written on the bat's body.


The wings open so they look like they are flapping.  Inside one wing are the addition facts and the other wing has the subtraction facts.


The kiddos loved making these and they look adorable "flying" around the room!
