🦇 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Life cycles teach children that all living things change and grow. Bats are mammals just like humans, so children can relate—baby bats drink milk, learn from their mothers, and eventually become independent. This connection helps children see themselves as part of the animal kingdom.
