Thanks to a generous donation from the Madrid family, and another donation from The Bank of Mrs. Berkey, we are awaiting the arrival of several dead animals to dissect.
Dissection can be a slippery subject, as the idea of death has different meanings for different families. To make a long story short, out of respect for those who wish to have no part of animal dissection, we will be holding a Saturday class for those families who are interested in dissection. There will be several choices for dissection, including, but not limited to, a perch, a squid, a shark, a big earthworm, a fetal pig, amongst other things. I also ordered us some scalpels and dissection pans so that we could do our studies correctly.
We finished making our homework journals, so look forward to those. Other big news: Mr. Berkey's class is taking a field trip before winter break. This is not usual behavior for me, but one of our student's will be performing in The Nutcracker, and there will be performances for school kids coming soon.
This class is an amazing group, and I look forward to seeing them impress general society as much as they impress me.
Take Care Out There-
Mr. B
