Ethan the Naturalist

The latest classroom job requires a strong sense of wonder, curiosity, and respect for the natural world. Well, it's no surprise then that the class voted for Ethan as the inaugural Classroom Naturalist. Wielding an Audubon field guide, journal, pen, and camera, last weekend he headed outside to explore local flora and fauna. Enjoy!

Amber Tinkers!

After a vote, the class decided that tinkerers should be allowed to take the littleBits home.  Amber's illuminated creation combines blue and red LEDs, constructed at her house one afternoon last week. 

With the lights off, the dual color combination shines red and blue on any surface (like parallel Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader light sabers).
