It’s my favorite time of the year! My biodiversity students are submitting their Nature Notebooks. They have to share organisms in their lives, classify them, and share things they learned in class about them. Delivery method is entirely up to the individual!

The front room of my home is a work in progress. After finding an amazing—but subtle— print of a sea urchin test, I’ve decided the room theme will be “Phyla”. Anyone got a good nematode lead?
