Photo 112 of 365, taken April 26th:
Alyssa was somewhat excited, somewhat apprehensive to begin their dissection unit. It went way better than she anticipated. The first thing they dissected was an owl pellet. She was so pleased with her findings {a shrew skeleton} that she decided to assemble the bones, glue them to construction paper and bring them home for us to keep forever.
A different assignment had the students creating their own make believe animal. Alyssa is typically a very "in the box" thinker; logic, reason and reality always winning out. I have no idea what kind of animals her classmates came up with, so hers could be rather tame in comparison, but I had to laugh at this at least a little. Her Tintinscenterous has armor and a poison scent spray that kills. I would be awfully upset if I came across one on the beach as her description indicates that is where they like to hang out. Love this sweet girl!
