Bat Lady Barb!

The wonderfully spirited Bat Lady Barb came to see us today.

She is not married to Batman! She is a bat doctor.

Here is a flying fox model that she shared. Flying foxes are pollinators. They also see very well, and eat fruits and nuts.

Second grade met in the Science Room to hear our presentation.

Here are some models of former bats that died.

Below, are pictures and models of items pertaining to bats: misquitoe, vampire, Batman. Many of the items are used to disspell notions and ideas about bats. Bats are truly our friends. They are harmless to humans, and indeed, help our farmers rid pesky pests. They also eat lots of mosquitoes that like to munch on us!

This is CleaBATra. She is a silver-haired bat that Barb must care for in her home.

We got to see CleoBATra eat a meal worm. Our students raised meal worms last year in science.

This is RoBATor. He is a large brown bat. He sure isn't very large, is he?

Ask your child to share some of his/her knowledge about bats. We've studied them for a month! They know a lot.

 

A big thanks to Barb, as she donates the money she makes with her speaking engagements to the Sarvey Wildlife Care Center. We always enjoy our time with Barb.
