You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose – Dr. Seuss

The children of Division 10 have been talking about the importance of setting goals for themselves.   

We know that the process of setting goals helps you choose where you want to go in life by thinking about what you hope for, and for motivating yourself to turn those hopes into reality.

Flying in the Night

Giving us a Fright

 

What would it feel like to be a bat flying through the night?  Division 10 created these paintings to show what echolocation might look like.

Ask me how I did it

3042571-inline-i-1-dr-seuss-manuscript-new-book-what-pet-should-i-getThis newly discovered book by Dr. Seuss is about a brother and sister’s visit to the pet store to pick a pet . . . which one will they choose?

Division 10 knows that a bat would not make a good pet.  We learned a lot about bats.  Here’s what some of the children said:

  • Bats are nocturnal animals.  They are awake at night and sleep during the day.  We need to sleep when it’s dark.
  • Bats live in colonies.  They like to hang out with other bats.  They would not like to be alone.
  • Bats are built for flying.  They use echolocation to catch bugs and avoid objects in the sky.  They should not live inside.
  • Bats eat a lot of insects.  How could we get enough food for them to eat?
  • Bats are wild animals.  They might bite if they get scared.

Great problem solving, Division 10!
