Hi Reed Parents and all who are interested in our exciting academic happenings,

This month (March 2009) in our science class we’re covering the excretory system and have many exciting things planned. We’ll be creating models and diagrams of the major organs of the system. We’ll also become “lab technicians” performing glucose and protein testing on simulated “urine” and discussing how kidney function affects the body! As usual, the focus will also be on working together as a group during discussions, reading, experiments and note taking!
We'll keep you posted!!!
Also, some of the students were able to enjoy and early 105th birthday celabration honoring Dr. Seuss!! Due to a generous grant and a performance by the the Wheelock Family Theatre, 8 of our students enjoyed a trip to see Seusical the Musical at the Wheelock Family Theater housed on the grounds of Wheelock College in Boston. A theatre representative came to Reed prior to our trip to the play. He talked to us about the play, Dr. Seuss, and we even played a modified version of "Family Feud" testing us on what we knew about some of the Dr. Seuss stories. It turns out we knew quite a lot and had a great time playing. The play was terrific. We shared the experience with other students from a variety of schools.
We are hoping to have another opportunity like this in the future. Until then, maybe you could revisit some of your old favorite Dr. Suess stories and let Horton here you who!!!!
