Don't hate us because we're beautiful.

Veterans Day 2011

Thanks to our resident artist, Keith Penn, for rendering the eagle of the Great Seal of the United States with native design elements. The kids then did a great job at transferring Keith's eagle to place mats for the Veterans Day breakfast.

We were honored by 18 members of the five military branches of the United States, and we thank all Americans all over the world risking their lives to defend and protect the United States of America.

The class was able to touch their first brain today. We're not sure if it was male or female, but we know it was average size and weight (about three pounds).

The alternate reality (googly-eye) goggles were fun, but their unbalancing effect was incongruous with balance balls. Thanks to Eli for demonstrating this difficulty while throwing a beanbag to his partner. He's okay, folks!

Our thanks go out to Alycia, the Magician, and the anonymous brain from the Pacific Science Center.
