Bartholomew's Bats, Service Learning, and Technolgy...What a Combination!

Mrs. Bartholomew's bats have been working with a group of senior citizens from The Court Round Rock Retirement Facility all year long. They have had many adventures with their buddies. Recently, they took their friends into the computer lab to explore learning through technology.  According to Mrs. Bartholomew's students, "We went onto our class website and posted comments on our blog. Then we explored a website on Antarctica because we had been reading about animals and explorers in Antarctica recently.  The most exciting part of our visit was experimenting with the Proscopes.  We had fun seeing the ladybugs up close and even more fun looking at our skin, our hair, our clothing, tissues, one of our pen pal's diamond ring, and another pen pal's floral patterned fingernail!  Our pen pals were amazed at the fourth graders technical skills!  We will be visiting them at The Court in Round Rock Retirement Facility on May 2.  We have enjoyed learning from them this year and sharing new experiences with them.  We love technology and our pen pals!"
