Saturday Sprinkles 03.22.14

This week was not as productive as last week with all the crazy movement in the Museum; however, we have streamlined the to-do list/items, I know what needs to be done, who is able to do it and I am supporting students getting things completed.  Still a good week, just less stressful.  

Monday was a sick day.  ~~ 

Tuesday was a pairing day in the small research lab.  Students are turning this small room into a real research lab through a partnership with the University of Kentucky.  They are currently researching and studying the growth and development of bacteria.  The little petri dishes look pretty cool, kinda gross, but cool.  Students are continuing to paint and clean the room for set up.

Wednesday was FCPS Tom’s Squad where our students are wanting to transform the Menu options for our school and others with a focus on quantity and quality.  YUM!!  And then….more painting, the shelves this time.  Beige and blue - (yawn, but the Scientist/Doctor loves it! as long as your happy Dr. D, I’m happy!)

On Thursday, we worked on the Museum to-do item list and went to UK for the TLC-UK PASTR ceremony.  Some of science students were honored and celebrated in a coated ceremony and had the opportunity to showcase their work to UK Professionals!  They teared up!  Seriously, people, these kids are adorable!  I also really liked an artwork on the walls, so I took a picture for inspiration.  

Friday we painted, and painted…. and painted.  I loved it!  Completely my element!  I consulted with teachers and students, proposed several ideas, we came to a decision and moved!  The aquaponics system in the Museum needs some support, but I met with the Student Leaders and we have a game plan for that.  Painting, information posters and finishing up the Research Lab is my goal before we leave for Spring Break!  

Then Saturday my friend and I did the FCPS 5K at Keeneland!  We have been training for 4 weeks now with a Couch to 5K app, 2-3 days per week after school.  Today was the big day and we rocked it!  Had a blast, good laughs and then stuffed our faces at Joe Bologna’s to celebrate!
