Today was the day almost ALL of the home school students have been waiting and working so hard for. PIG DISSECTION DAY!!!
I don't think anyone was disappointed or too concerned about today....excitement was high and everyone was well behaved, although the noise level was on "excitement"!!
We started off with the K-3rd grade class--where one pig was worked on with the students watching. We were able to get familiar with the pig, do some exploring, probing, and some cutting today. We will get into the body cavity next week.
If parents want to join in watching (Sorry, cutting and hands on is for the kids!) you are welcome at either 9:15 for the K-3 class, or 10:15 for the 4th-7th & 8th-12th grade classes.
The higher grades were put into groups of 4 to work together to dissect the pig.
They followed lab sheets, answered questions, and worked together to accomplish the tasks. I was very proud of all of them for being mature, responsible students, even though they giggled and laughed, they followed directions, completed their tasks, and everyone cleaned up well. Special thanks to Georgette for staying to help out. 
Be sure to check out the slide show below for all of today's pictures!
