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!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello, November 27, 2014

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful for all of the wonderful fourth graders this year. They are all creative, hard-working, and very kind students. I enjoy going to work each day. Thank you all for all you do.

Reading logs are due on Monday, December 1. Write it on paper if you didn't get one. Read at least 100 minutes.

Happy Reading and enjoy time with family and friends!

Sincerely,
Pam Bartholomew
