Welcome to Science!
A special note of thanks goes out to Dr. Patricia
Lillquist. She recently donated a dissecting microscope to the Science Lab. This will allow the students to look
at items/specimens that cannot be viewed using our compound microscopes. With this generous addition, the students
at St. Mary's will have an opportunity to develop advanced laboratory skills. Thank you Dr. Lillquist!
The Christmas Season is here and the time in class
really seems to fly by. As we approach the holiday, I will be keeping the students focused on their topics of study.
My goal is to finish up our current work, so that each grade may begin their Christmas vacation without science
homework looming over them. They will be free to enjoy time with family and friends, and return to school in 2009 ready to
begin a new topic.
May your Christmas be filled with many blessings!
~Mrs. Clough

Read a book containing science facts, ideas, or theories (fiction
