HOW TO USE IT

Use the pages as a Halloween classroom activity, in an October early finisher bin, at a nocturnal animals science center, as a bat unit art extension, in a calm corner, for indoor recess, sub plans or SEL reset time. Encourage students to color smaller sections individually instead of filling large spaces with one color, which builds focus and fine motor skills.

They also pair well with bat research projects, nonfiction readings about echolocation, mammal classification, nocturnal vs diurnal animal comparisons, animal adaptations and habitat units.
