Can you create a constellation?

Woodlawn now has four constellations in the main stairways - Orion and Taurus in the south and Bootes and Ursa Major in the north.  We are inviting the students to create their own constellation.  They can submit a drawing of their unique constellation along with an essay explaining what is represents and the story behind the design.  Is it a story of a hero, an explorer, animal, location?  We have room for a few more Woodlawn constellations to be mounted on our 'stars'.

Beaver Engineering

Both humans and beavers are environmental engineers - able to modify a habitat which can change the landscape and species richness of a region.  This makes both of these mammals a keystone species and their behavior can affect the healthy and stability of their environment.  These Rieke kindergarteners were able to test their engineering skills as they took the challenge to use mud, sticks, and water to create a mini dam!
