It is hard to believe that our unit about bats is coming to a close, but I must say, I do believe our schema has truly grown!!! We have learned so much about these flying mammals and I am so excited to hear all of the bat presentations this week!
One of my favorite parts of the unit is when we bring in Ben Hale, a bat biologist from Indiana to speak. He brings in his mist net that he uses in the field, bat sensors and other visual aids to use during his presentation.
Here are some pictures and video clips from today!

We had an amazing visit and as you can see in the background, we have many cool projects to share this week!
