POKING DAY!

Today was POKING DAY! Which is just a more interesting title for Crustacean - Mollusc - Echinoderm Observation Day. I go to the grocery store in town and see what kind of seafood I can find and the students make measurements and observations and see some of the organisms we've been discussing first hand.

It does smell a little bad.... but it is pretty fun, and the students do learn a lot. Here are some of the photos from today. 

Corrin and Rachel with Echinoderms (check out Corrin's cool new do)

ready to learn

shrimp with heads and super long antennae

ouch it's got me!

Kaitlin and the horseshoe crab

Jeremiah and the octopus

Kaitlin, Michelle, Bruce, and Jess at the Crab station

Alex, Tommy, and Lindsey at the lobster/crawdad station measuring claws


Bruce held the octopus (I think because of peer pressure)

More peer pressure for Amanda and Delafayetter

Cruella has nothing on Carlton and the shrimp heads :)

Harley and the crab get to know each other
My apologies for not turning any of them... sorta in a hurry. I have a feeling some of these might end up on Facebook and that is OK with me. :) Have a FAB weekend.

Nate and the octopus, demonstrating something

This photo makes me laugh.

Brittney and the blue crab (it's a male)

Meet the shrimp (via Carlton) - BEST PHOTO of the DAY

Computer Lab Etiquette

You are in the computer lab to do work for this class. If you are not doing work, then we will have problems.

Do not pack up early. Work until the bell or until MsJ says.

SAVE OFTEN. And if you save to a key, also save it to your number. If you lose it, you will have to do it again.

If MsJ asks for your attention, stop what you are doing and listen to what she has to say.

You may watch videos about your organism through reliable websites.

You may listen to music through the computer if you have your own headphones. Rule1 MsJ cannot hear it. You get one warning. Rule2 Turn it on and listen – no million clicks and constant changing. Take both ear phones out when MsJ is talking.
