This blog is where I'll be posting some stories about my life as well as other random posts. The purpose of the blog is for people to get to know me and hopefully some times people will laugh at what I post. :-)
Bats, Cats, Spiders, and Owls Family Fun Ideas for Halloween Season
Ideas for Teaching about Bats, Cats, Spiders, and Owls to young children:
Teach 1 year olds vocabulary recognition with pictures
Teach 2 year olds basic ideas like a spider has 8 legs and owls and bats are awake at night
Teach older children 3+ about the habitats and what the animals eat
Teach all children old enough to understand how these animals can help us and appreciation for nature
Have the children tell you what they know about these animals and go from there
Find cute crafts on Pinterest and other sources with a simple internet search
The older the child the more in depth you can go with your lessons
I currently teach Kindergarten and we were able to talk about habitats and what the animals ate as well as the idea that bats and owls are nocturnal meaning they are awake at night and sleep during the day. We also talked about how bats are similar to humans and how they help humans. We discussed how Spiders are in their own bug family, the arachnids and are not insects. We learned the Spanish words for Owl, Spider, and Cat
The fun thing about these lessons is to make it your own for the child or children you are working with. Doing a simple internet search will give you lots of resources and ideas!
