We were gearing up to welcome hermit crabs into our \"family,\" but we were able to take in two guinea pigs in need of a new home instead. It's safe to say the boys-- Nutmeg and Cannoli-- are enjoying their new home and the kids are definitely enjoying their company! There have already been so many awesome conversations about habitat, diet, predator/prey relationships, and more! I think it will also make you smile to know that students have created an entire wall of their drawings of the guinea pigs, and one group is even building a hut for them in their woodshop class! \r\n\r\nIn addition to the home and accessories for the guinea pigs, we are equally excited for all of the neat opportunities your donations have provided for the upcoming year of science club! The students are ready to design, create, and explore areas such as food chemistry, circuit building, robotics, and environmentally-friendly plastic alternatives. This month, we will be experimenting with different recipes for rock candy for a sweet Halloween treat! This is what science is all about.

These resources have been a great way for students to do that when we have some \"down time\" after class or during study halls.
