Even though our Science lessons have us studying the Sun, Prez stumbled upon a book on bats (go figure with Halloween around the corner) and has decided it's not fair that he hasn't personally seen one. So, with his enthusiasm up, I opened up a mini-unit book from the schoolroom on bats.
So far, we have learned why bats are not birds and why they are not rodents. This particular book also has scattered throughout, some great folktales and myths on why bats have crooked knees, short legs, and night vision. It has been fun.
The black construction bat was just a quick throw together idea that let him run around the house with his new pet. It also kept Sweetness entertained as the wings floated up and down. That is until Prez left it on the floor and she took it upon herself to dismantle the thing and figure it out. Luckily, she didn't try to eat it. He should have remembered that bats like to hang upside, hidden, and preferably out of reach. With all the extra fall season energy, I think I might be going batty!
