Please read over the Mink dissection lab handout this weekend, you must know what you are cutting and examining prior to that day's objectives for dissection.  If you want to come in and get a look at the Mink dissection booklet, you are more than welcome to come in and review these before school, during lunch/study hall, or QRP.  Also, I recommend looking online at YouTube videos of mink dissection to take a little of the shock and awe of the first day!!!
