Bartholomew Bats!


Our school is located in Round Rock, Texas which is near Austin. Austin and Round Rock both have huge populations of Mexican Free Tailed Bats that live under our bridges. A colony of bats lives beneath the Ann Richards/Congress Avenue Bridge in Austin and in Round Rock, another colony resides under the Interstate 35 bridge over McNeil Road. Each evening from March to about October, the bats fly out from beneath the bridge and search for insects to eat. The emergence of the bats is a wonder to watch. We are also thankful that all these millions of bats eat the bugs by our homes.

Our class mascot is the Bat to honor the mammals that live so close to us and help us. (also because Bat and Bartholomew both start with the letter B!) The bats in Central Texas live together in a group and help take care of the young. Then they migrate together as a team. Our class will also live together in our classroom, work together as a team, and help each other out. We are the Bartholomew Bats!

Goal Setting

What do you think about setting goals for yourself? We set year long goals for you during your conferences. Do you ever set up short goals for yourself? Does setting goals seem to help you? Tell us what you think. Read other people's comments and make your own comments in response to them. Happy Blogging!!!!!

I like to set daily goals or to do lists. I try to write down all the things that I have to work on or finish today and get going.

I also like to set long goals like I'd like to walk/run in the Capital 10K this spring. I ran it about 11 years ago and would like to do it again so I am trying to exercise to practice and be ready.

Setting goals help me focus and complete things. It helps to keep me on track and working toward accomplishing those goals.

What do you think?
