Book Plan

Stellaluna Book Plan

Book: Stellaluna by Janell Cannon

Read Stellaluna on Monday, then spend the week sorting bats from birds, measuring wings and making a bat that hangs from the ceiling.

This five-day Book Plan for grades K to 3 turns one picture book into a full week of 30 to 45 minute lessons. Each day gives you a short plan, three original discussion questions and one ready-to-print page. Kids compare bats and birds on a Venn page, sort animal cards, put the story in order, watch the dusk sky for real bats, write about a time they felt different, and build a hanging paper bat for Friday Show and Tell. A parent and teacher note sets up the themes of friendship and belonging.

Perfect for kindergarten through third grade read-alouds, homeschool families and October science and literacy weeks.
