Gulf Pine Catholic • October 15, 2021 19 Mandy Moran and Susan Copponex’s Kindergarten class recently completed the “Great Sight Word Race.” Students were partnered up to identify a list of sight words, and they had to work as a team to read, sort, cut, and glue the sight words for the week on chart paper. The children were excited about working in teams, and the activity helped students with peer review of their current sight words.

Dr. Holley Muraco, Mississippi Aquarium Director of Research, and Letha Boudreaux, Saint Stanislaus Marine Science program director, presented an overview on marine science and opportunities to learn and work in this fascinating environment along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Saint Stanislaus marine science interns, as well as some current marine science participants, presented their fascinating discoveries in marine science class to young students. During Dr. Muraco’s presentation, the students interacted with replicas of dolphin fins, sea turtle skulls, and alligator skulls. The event was con- cluded with the raffle of a pair of general admission tickets to the Mississippi Aquarium. Dylan McShane demonstrates how to use a caliper to measure oysters.
