It was a bat-tastic day in Mrs. Myers’ 2nd grade class! Young scientists spent the day discovering facts and learning how bats navigate using echolocation. To wrap up their learning, students made bats to add to the classroom-cave, great decor for Halloween week! 🦇🎃

Beginning in 4th grade, BGISD students have the opportunity to learn to play the violin, viola, cello, or double bass. Instruction by Ms. Aleka Chau takes place two days a week during the school day and students may participate in both choir and strings.

Students have the option to rent an instrument or borrow one that is school-owned. Pictured are students from 4th and 5th grades, some students with their instruments for the first time.
