Eye Dissection!

Today, Nurse Twyla and 3 Iowa Central nursing students came to dissect cow eyes with our class. It was disgusting and awesome! We noticed the lens was hard and felt like a marble. We noticed the iris was bluish-black and it was big. We noticed the jelly-like vitreous body was black and gray oozed out like water. We noticed the optic nerve was cut short but we could feel a little bump. We noticed the sclera, the white part of the eye. All of the students felt the eye and poked their finger inside. What a great day of science!

MTH Haunted Castle

Haunted Castle on Hallows Eve is a great story because there are rhymes in the story. I love rhymes! They are funny and they are clues that help the kids solve a problem.

Kate DiCamillo-by Ben

The Tale of Despereaux is about a mouse that was born with his eyes open. His ears were huge. One day he went to a castle and he saw a beautiful princess. He heard the music that her father was playing. Desperaux is searching for love.

I am enjoying this story because at the end of several chapters Kate DiCamillo speaks directly to you as a reader. The text helps me to visualize a picture in my head of what is going on in the story. If I close my eyes, I can see what is happening.

I would recommend this book to others because it is a great adventure!
