The teachers here at Cascades Academy understand quite clearly the idea of "blogging", which really leads one to images of late night key-tapping, coffee-drinking, and hair-on-fire muckraking. Therefore as a public service, to those oft-stereotyped blog-addicts out there, we will claim only "to spawn" - a more mild-mannered conjugation of the formal "to blog" - on this portion of our site. We can condone the late night key-tapping and the coffee-drinking, however, the hair-on-fire muck-racking is really just out of the question. The preferred method of communicating all that we do here at Cascades Academy would be for your children to race home after-school with tales of carnivorous lab-turtles, firemen in the parking lot, at-large guinea pigs, red-coated strangers rifling their lunches for sugar, classroom knitting obsessions, or the occasional enlightening lecture. However knowing kids as well as we do, we also understand that it is a rare day when children even make it home with all of the same clothes they went to school wearing (have you seen the lost and found lately?). It is with this level of awareness to childhood development that we give you The Spawn - a grown-up attempt to let you know some of what we do here everyday.

Amigo the Octopus and the Crab

DateThursday, October 22, 2009 at 03:23PM

Teachers Dr. Eklund and Brian Kent report an outstanding Autumn Outing to the Oregon Coast.  The Hatfield Marine Science Center was a huge highlight as was Amigo the Octopus eating a live crab! Students saw so many seal lions that they lost count - including on that had a plastic ring around it's neck! Dr. Eklund called NOAA and the local police to report this unfortunate situation only to be told that they already knew about it and that this sea lion had been wearing his necklace for quite a while. Smores on the beach, yurt living, Moe's and so much more to report!
