Andrew's Update

Andrew had a busy and fun-filled three weeks. Here are some highlights...

He and his class mates dissected sterilized owl pellets and this is what they found! Sterilized owl pellets? It is the regurgitate fur, feathers, bones and stuff that the owl can't digest. Yum! Isn't science fun! They took what they found and reconstructed the skeleton of the eaten animal.

The leader of the Lego Robotic Club, Hoonah science guru, Ben McLuckie made a special concession and allowed Andrew to be in the club even though the ages are 9-12. They meet twice a week, after school to work on their "challenge." He won’t be able to participate in the competition in Juneau, but he does not care - Andrew is so on fire for Legos, he loves to help out any way he can.

Over the weekend we went blueberry picking with the Big Brothers/Big Sisters group. It was pouring down rain but we were all smiles despite the deluge :)

And last week his class entertained audiences with their version of the Titanic in Reader’s Theater.

Andrew and his class went on an outdoor field trip to the park to look for birds and the signs they leave behind on the ground.

And had lots of fun playing games with Grandma Leines....

Next week I'll have pictures of open house, grandparents day, the band concert and Andrew's new hobby.
