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!

Welcome to a new school year! 2013-2014!!! It is going to be a great year!

Hello!

I am so excited to meet all of our new Bartholomew Bats and welcome you to 4th grade.

The beginning of a school year is one of my favorite times of year. We all get to make new goals, meet new friends, and learn new things. I can't wait for us to all get to know each other, share our summer adventures, and get down to some awesome learning!

I look forward to seeing all of you on our School Supply Drop-off night on Thursday, August 22. If your last name begins with A-L, come between 4:00-4:30. If your last name begins with M-Z, come between 4:45-5:15.

See you on Thursday! This is going to be a great year!

Love,
Mrs. Bartholomew
