I wrote this up to give to my parents during Back to School Night, to help them choose independent reading books for their child at home.

This was a bulletin board I did in October, when we read informational text about bats and then wrote sentences about them.

(I wanted these bats to be happy, fun bats, however some of my boys simply had to draw bloody fangs on their bats.  What can you do?)
