Next, have them carefully use scissors (kids safety scissors depending on their age) to create window flaps that will open out. This part may be tricky so make sure you're around to assist.

As the glue dries, invite your students to use brainstorm a list of common contractions and the original words they're derived from.\n\u003cp\u003eOnce everything is set, have your students finish the exercise by neatly penning the contractions on the front of the house windows then open the flaps and write the original words on the construction paper underneath.

NOTE: While repetitive, the echolocation \"rap\" tends to move at a rapid pace so you may have to play it a few times in order for your students to catch everything. Or, print out the lyrics and recite them slowly, inviting your students to repeat them after you for full \"digestion\" of the material!\n\nYou might also consider \"demonstrating\" the concept of echolocation with a game. Try a \"batty\" version of \u003cem\u003eMarco Polo\u003c\/em\u003e where a student volunteer gets blindfolded, is placed in the center of the game play area, and pretends to be a \"bat\", while the rest of the class pretend to be \"insects\". The blindfolded volunteer calls out \"beep, beep\" to which the insects, with full sight and instructions to keep moving around the play area, must respond \"buzz, buzz\". Relying solely on their ears, the bat then attempts to \"catch\" their prey. Once tagged, insects must return to the \"bat cave\" (their desk) until the bat is full (set a limit of three or four insects) and then another student volunteer gets the chance to be the bat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo finish up the science lesson on bats, consider creating a slideshow of various bats native to your area or region - including both pictures and audio clips found on the internet - for your students to examine and discuss.

Use this yellow fringe to create a mop of \"hair\" under the hat. Patches in assorted colors and buttons made from orange paper can be \"sewn\" on to the base pieces using black yarn.

The (very talented!) creator of this bulletin board decoration used oil pastels and advanced shading techniques to create this tree. If this seems daunting, consider creating a simpler tree with brown construction paper or brown bulletin board paper. Either use an overhead projector to enlarge and trace the shape of a basket onto the paper or, if you don’t want to mess with a projector, you can freehand it. It isn’t terribly difficult. 2) The Night Sky. Again, the bulletin board designer used oil pastels to create the brilliant moon, but you can certainly use plain yellow construction paper or yellow background paper. To add a twinkle to the sky, place small silver star stickers around the tree and board. 3) The Leaves. Create a simple leaf template from card stock, using it to trace and cut leaves from construction paper in fall colors (e.g. red, orange, yellow, and brown). 'Scatter' these around the base of the tree.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the design seems simple, we think this bulletin board display would make a spectacular addition to your classroom this fall!
