We’re just going to leave these homemade chocolate chip cookie dough photos right here. The lucky families of these afterschool club bakers were the recipients of the finished products!

Whelp, this was a learning moment for the Community Classroom team at the @northamptoneducation Adult Spelling Bee. We got out on the word “dwale,” which we had never heard before. In all fairness, we think Tutor @jessepompei had it right but we chose to try a fancier way! It was great fun. Big props to Jack Sweeney-Taylor and @jessepompei for sharing their amazing spelling-and humor-with us. Btw, can you guess what each of their costumes are?

Monster Mash Popup download! We designed camouflage ghosts (and hid them throughout the bookstore…bwahahaha!). Then we explored animal adaptions and then brainstormed which ones we’d use in our own monster creations! We created our own monsters, explored skeletons and organs in an “anatomy lab,” poked pumpkins, made glow-in-the-dark cauldron slime, and engaged in an eyeball stacking engineering challenge. Cookie decorating and learning about bioluminescence (and making our own glowing potions!) was the cherry on top. Until next time, spooky scientists!

Critter club played with reptiles today at @a2zscience with our new friends from @capenhill. We even had a behind-the-scenes tour to visit Apollo the shop kitty! Meanwhile, Dinner’s on Me was learning how to chop and peel and make fancy French salad.

We love the intersection of Halloween and science so much, of course we had an All About Bats popup! We crafted working bat wings, learned about the parts of a bat, comprised bat sizes, and dissected (plastic) bats. Did you know the smallest bat is the size of a fingernail and the largest has a wingspan as tall as an adult?
Sorry, y’all! This week’s popup is both monsterlicious AND full. We do have a few spots in several upcoming ones, including Manatee Mania, Unicorn Academy, Fossil Lab, Rock Lab, and Mini-Detectives.
