Summary:
Every participating class will research a bat in their environment.  If there are no bats in their area, the class may choose a bat that they would like to study.  Students will write reports, draw pictures,  poems, and stories about bats.  The work will be published on a separate webpage for each class.  Work will be submitted by e-mail and illustrations may be transfered electronically or snail mailed to be scanned.  The class URL or e-mail address will be posted on the page.
