The AP Biology students were excited to welcome the kindergarteners to the Biology Lab on Thursday morning for a tour of different scientific tools and equipment at various stations. Kindergarteners acted as young scientists by making observations and coming up with more questions as they learned about the questions addressed at each station: 1) Why and how do scientists use micropipettes? 2) Why do scientists use microscopes? 3) Why and how do scientists use calipers? 4) Why do scientists collect data 5) Why do scientists use models?
Kindergarten then "left their mark" on the lab by getting to write their names using chalk markers on the lab tables. They were able to extend their learning back in the classroom by writing a reflection about their experience and the different scientific tools and equipment they got to use. What an exciting morning filled with clams, birds, microorganisms, a heart, brain, skeleton and even some micropipette art!

2nd Lieutenant Jackson Jennings '18 stopped by the second grade this week to thank the students for their letters that they wrote to him while he was in the Marine Corps Officer Candidate School last year. He brought the letters back so students could see how far they've come with their writing skills, and he answered questions about what it's like to be a Marine. Thank you, Mrs. Lawrence and Mrs. Isaacson, for taking time out of the busy end-of-year schedule to allow him to express his gratitude!
Our own dean of MS students and soon-to-be school counselor Todd Fletcher joined Cindy Goetz yesterday on her show, "Beauty and the Beach," to talk about the importance of mental health. The radio interview will air multiple times throughout the weekend but it's even more fun to watch the recording. Click here to learn more about Coach Fletcher's "Disney hair!"
