In Dr. Allendoerfer’s first Honors Biology lab o In Dr. Allendoerfer’s first Honors Biology lab of the year, students got right to work using the scientific method. They made observations, developed hypotheses, collected data, and worked together to investigate the behavior of a familiar childhood creature: the roly poly.

Students set up wet and dry chambers to observe whether the pill bugs, which are actually small crustaceans related to crabs, showed a preference for moisture. Through this hands-on investigation, students practiced experimental design, data collection, and teamwork while exploring how organisms respond to their environment.

A great way to start the year with some hands-on science!

In their very first homeroom and reading class of In their very first homeroom and reading class of the school year, our 2Ba Bobcats discovered The Book with No Pictures by B. J. Novak. The book sparked a thoughtful question: If a book can work without pictures, what would a classroom be like without expectations?

Through discussion, our students explored why expectations matter and created their own classroom promises. With their promises in place, our Grade 2B Bobcats are ready for a wonderful year ahead!
