     Wow, has this ever been another wild weather week with no school on Monday due to President's Day, a very snowy Wednesday afternoon where many students left early, a no school  snow day on Thursday and then a 2 hour late start day due to icy conditions on Friday. You just don't know what kind of day it will be until you get up in the morning! It's a wonder that we're able to keep it all straight!       

     We love teaching your wonderful Beacons! Unfortunately, mother nature's snowy and icy blast this week (and a federal holiday) prevented us from having another full week of school. Having said that, we worked very hard in the hours that we were at school!

     One of the highlights of this short week was going into Mrs. Head's room where we saw the Explorers dissecting lambs' hearts! Two of our Beacon parents are noted surgeons and they have a child in Mrs. Head's class as well. They facilitated the dissection and really helped make our science unit of learning about the human body come alive. One of the coolest things about this dissection is that the lamb's heart is approximately the same size as that of an elementary school child's heart. This led to a great discussion once we returned to the classroom! As many of your Beacons said, "Seabury is sooooooooooooo cool! We get to dissect in schooooooooooooool!"
