🦠Biology Takes the Cake!
Mr. Clark’s students are mastering the complexities of cellular biology through a hands-on tasty modeling project! Using cake as a base, the students modeled the cytoplasm with icing and the nucleus with candy pieces.
The class practiced identifying key differences between different types of cells, such as the rectangular cell wall of plant cells versus the rounded cell membrane of animal cells. This lesson was great for breaking down a complex subject and making it accessible and fun!👩🔬👨🔬

🐈⬛❤️Miami County ESC Students Giving back:
Two of Mrs. Prenger’s students finished their week last Friday by volunteering to clean out the cat room at the Miami County Animal Shelter. These two worked so hard to fix up and give these cats a clean home. They were rewarded by the cats with snuggles afterward!

💫Mrs. Shcherbyna's class visited @thebethanycenter last week to help those in need. These rockstars spent their day folding and sorting clothes, stocking and preparing food bags, and more. They learned that volunteer work is about stepping up to help those who need it most.
Thank you to The Bethany Center for having us and letting our students make an impact!

Mr. Hahn's class left orbit last week!🌌☄️
After reading about the Artemis II Mission, his students made models of the Sun, Earth, and Moon. The class did a terrific job of learning and absorbing the info, then modeling how an orbit works using everyday items!
Artemis II is NASA's upcoming mission in April. This will be the first manned lunar flyby in over 50 years, and the first ever crewed use of the Orion spacecraft, how cool is that!?🚀

The March opening of Miss Embry’s class coffee shop was a huge success! Her class notched their biggest turnout yet with nearly 40 orders, her students were quite busy!
From taking orders to measuring each drink and hand delivering every cup, Miss Embry's students were able to practice fine motor skills and work on their face-to-face communication. We love this exercise because our students get to be hands-on and the school gets coffee, win win!☕️🎉

🍀☘️More St. Patty's day fun was had yesterday at our Milton ESC units! Miss Embry and Mrs. Peltier's classes came together to make treats and hang out. They started by making Lucky-Charms rice krispies, and then enjoyed their snacks with some festive themed bingo!
It's great to see our students come together and interact with others they may not see every day. The group had a blast!🌈

Leprechaun traps, fruit loop rainbows, and a whole lot of green was brought out to celebrate today. Our students enjoyed St. Patty's themed activities and sweets to go with them, but we're still hunting for that pot of gold!🪙
How adorable!🐾
Last Friday our lucky preschoolers at Miami East were paid a visit by some miniature furry friends, a bunch a golden puppies! Talk about an awesome way to end the week!

"It is fun to have fun but you have to know how!" - The Cat in the Hat 🐱🎩
Well our CLC students definitely knew how to have fun this week! They celebrated Dr. Seuss Week with a surprise visit from some of their favorite storybook characters. Seeing the students connect with these characters and literature in such a joyful way is what it’s all about.
Big shout out and thank you to Andrea Wackler and the @troymiamilibrary for bringing Thing 1 and Thing 2 (and the Cat!) out to see us. We are so grateful for our community partners! 📖✨

Bringing Nature Into the Classroom! 🏞️
This week, The Brukner Nature Center visited with students from Mrs. R and Ms. B’s classes at Tipp City!
Mrs. Ruzicka’s class has been talking about career choices, and on Tuesday they dove into Wildlife Rehabilitation.
Ms. Emmaley from Brukner told the class about her personal experience in the field and brought some 'Animal Ambassadors' for them to check out. The class was introduced to a Virginia Opossum, an Eastern Screech Owl, a box turtle and an American Toad. Very cool and informative, thank you so much to @bruknernaturecenter!

"How demanding is running your own business?" - A question these Covington students had answered firsthand from local entrepreneur Amber Stephenson. The answer: VERY, but it's all worth it! Amber owns Rosebuds Real Food, a local store selling all-natural, gluten-free, and non-GMO spices and seasonings. 🫚🍂
Amber shared the real story behind business ownership including the risks, the rewards, and everything in between. She made sure these students knew that it's not all sunshine and roses, but those willing to put in the work can make it happen!
Huge thanks to Amber for making a lasting impact on these students curious about entrepreneurship. Your energy is contagious, and the free samples were a big hit! ✨
