Cell-ebrity Cells

The celebs have continued to broaden their knowledge if cells. They worked in rock groups to design a plant or animal cell that uses everyday items as organelles. Their challenge was to think of something that explained the organelles function not how it looked. The celebs were really able to think deeply about the function of the organelles and apply it to something they may use in their daily lives. We had strainers for cell membranes and PODS and semi-trucks as vacuoles. You can see more of these real-life cell-ebrities in the paparazzi pics below...

RIP: Dell Laptop 2009-2013

Sorry for the latest disruption in the publication of Paparazzi pics! We experienced some major technology crises this past week...beginning with the death of my laptop and ending with the projector bulb blowing! I was about to give up hope on recovering any data when...Mrs. Trisha, her hubby, and Mrs.Rhonda came to the rescue and all helped me recover most of the data. It is currently in bits and pieces between clouds, pcs, and flash drives, but at least is has mainly been recovered. A new laptop will hopefully arrive before Winter Break.hehehe!

On a happy techie note..we have been using ipads during Math Munchies! The celebs just love their time on Study Island or Khan Academy via ipad time. It is amazing to see their increase in focus and motivation.
