They blow in the wind and sway
Need water and sun

"All About Bats"

Facts : Bats are mammals, They are the only mammals that can fly.
Bats are mammals because they have hair, are warm-blooded & feed their babies milk.
In spring, Mother bats look for a warm, dark place to have babies.
Baby bats are called “Pups”
A young bat can fly between 2 - 5 weeks old!
Hoary & Silver haired bats can have twins.
Bats rest hanging upside-down. A bats wings looks like the fingers of a hand.
They are nocturnal. They rest during the day.
A group of bats is a colony. Bats lower their body temperatures to near freezing when they hibernate. Bats can live for 20 years, a long time for a small mammal. Pallid bats can walk on the ground. Bats are not blind. Bats do not get tangled in your hair.
There are 15 kinds of bats in Oregon. Bats in Oregon eat only insects. An adult bat can eat 1000 bugs every hour. Bats in Oregon hibernate or migrate in the winter because insects are hard to find.

Continents

There are 7 continents.
North America, South America, Australia & Asia (there the ones i can remember).
I've been watching DVDs of "Travel the World by Train".

*Changes subject*
I play a new game called "ROBLOX", it looks like its a "Lego" kind of game.
I have a account named "ThomasHank". i'm dressed in blue with a hat that i think says "ROBLOX" or just "R". I've had a account since like last month, maybe two months ago...... i dunno how long........ anywho theres some pretty darn good like "Thomas" games "Cars" or "Cars 2" games & even "SpongeBob" games also even building games like "Welcome to "ROBLOX" Building", but it's not as good as "Trainz". Like "Trainz Railroad Simulator 2006" or "Trainz Simulator 2009". i like '09, half of the "Thomas" content from "Sodor Island 3d" (for '06) doesint work, most of the content from "Sodor Island 3d" or "Sodor Island 3d 2009" works in '09. i have the "Trainz"s '08, '09, '10 & '04.

Now then, "T-T-F-N" "Ta-Ta for now!" Oh "Tigger" that's funny!!!!!

Map

Hank has finally finished his United States map.  Hopefully, there will be a picture soon.

map moms turn

I don't think it has been quite a year working on the states project.  It has been a while since he finished reading and drawing a map of each state.  We have done some other reading aboout the states in the meantime.  He is now creating his own U.S. map with the state maps he drew.
I think he has the general idea of what a sentence and paragraph are.  He writes like he talks tho and loves those upper case letters and abbreviations.
Notice what he wrote the most about tho. 
Once he gets started he doesnt want to stop.
