We had a visitor in class on Friday for more mad science. Thank you to real world scientist (and Logan’s mom) Helene Cousin for coming in to share her histology slides with us and to tell us a bit about her work with animals as a veterinary science professor at the University of Massachusetts.

 

She brought a more powerful microscope than any we have in school, and the students were able to get a close up view of the prepared slides she brought. We wrestled with a mystery or two (how do crows eat poisonous frogs?), asked good questions and thought like scientists about how the world works.

Samples of the slides we saw!

Parent Teacher Conferences continue this coming week, and Tuesday is Dress Like a Book Character Day (sometimes also known as Halloween!).

A preview of my book character… can you guess the book?!?
