I received a copy of the book Stellaluna by Janell Cannon from a first grade teacher. I was her student teacher at the time, and she gave me this book as a start to building up my own library for my future classroom. :)
Over the years I have read this book to my students in the fall. It's about Stellaluna, a bat who becomes separated from her mother, and she ends up living with a family of birds. Needless to say, birds and bats do not eat, sleep, or act in the same manner. I just love how this book is about friendship and also allows students to explore the similarities and differences between birds and bats!
Over the years I have pieced together some activities to go with this book.
Then I pulled out the standards lists (Common Core, TEKS, VA SOL) and made a full-on literacy book study companion pack to go with the story!
I have included a Stellaluna craftivity in the pack. This activity has students reflecting on the story...and makes a cute bulletin board!
Here's more of an overview of what's included:
