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!

Grandparent's Day

Hi,

Tomorrow is Grandparent's Day!  You are welcome to come and eat lunch with your child.  If our cafeteria table is full, you may come to our classroom to eat. (your child can only come if he/she has a guest)  Our lunch time is 11:25-11:55.  

Spirit Day is every Friday!  Wear purple and green and show your FCE pride!

Information went home in Thursday folders today about Writing Club and Choir.  If your child wants to come to the informational meeting for either club, you need to send me a note or email letting me know that he/she will be staying afterschool and let me know how he/she is getting home. Monday 2:50-3:30 will be the Writing Club meeting and Tuesday will be the Choir meeting.  Thank you so much for letting me know in advance.

Don't forget that homework is due tomorrow. That includes the math and weekly grammar paper.  Also the Cultural Information paper is due.  Be sure to read every night and record on reading log.  Next week we will have individual spelling lists and will have a test on Friday, Sept. 16.

Thank you and let me know if you have any questions or concerns.


Have a great evening!
