Ms. Zoeller's class had 20 minutes to draw the United States. The effort was there and geography can be seen in the different sizes of illustrations .

Our 7th- grade life science class had a special visitor today --- Loki, the border collie. Students had a blast learning about the genetics of coat color, seeing real life, examples of dominant and recessive traits in action. Loki helped us explore how traits are inherited, and why certain coat patterns appear the way they do. We also had thoughtful discussions about the ethics of dog breeding --- especially how responsible breeding practices can help reduce the risk of deafness and other genetic conditions. What a fun, engaging day of science with a four legged teacher!

Hayden made a nice wall map of Europe for a wall hanging. He hand-burned it all with a wood-burning tool. Hayden will be going to Europe this summer and will mark the places he goes on his wooden map. Good job, Hayden!

Jonathan is the lathe meister, and he has logged many hours on the wood lathe, and it shows. Here he is pictured with a couple of quality bowls he turned. Good job, Jonathan!

Eli made a really cool set of coasters and an awesome cutting board out of exotic woods. He has padauk in his coasters, and has purpleheart and wenge in his cutting board. Exotic woods make some really unique projects. Good job, Eli!

Sean made a superb-quality chest out of walnut for his niece. I think it is really cool that he made a project for his niece that will last a lifetime. Good job, Sean!

Coy constructed a well-made shoe rack out of dimensional lumber and pine. He worked really hard, and it shows. Good job, Coy!

Hayden made a nice chair out of pine to match the desk he made earlier in the year. This farmhouse style is still very popular. Good job, Hayden!

Eli made a neat little keepsake box/jewelry box out of walnut and purpleheart. This is a great way to use up some of the small scraps. Good job, Eli!

Clayton made a pair of quality modern-style end tables out of hackberry. They turned out nice with the stain he chose. Good job, Clayton!
