SCHEDULE UPDATE
Dear Students,
Thank you so much for your flexibility and hard work this fall. Good job! I just wanted to update the class schedule now that we've had several weeks of trial and error.
Monday- Active instruction, have your book, have your brain and be ready to think about concepts.
Tuesday- Quiz Day with Miss Molinaro in Cascade
Wednesday- New concept framework=vocabulary given, ideas discussed
Thursday-Active instruction over new information
Friday- Periodic Table Quiz, more delving into new concepts
The lesson cycle begins on Wednesdays, ends the following Tuesday.
Periodic table elements will be listed in a calendar coming soon. On short weeks, we will push the periodic table quiz to the following Monday. (Like this week! Quiz will be over elements 1-14, name, number and symbol).

Ultra Deep Field Hubble
Hubble Ultra Deep Field in 3 D
We will look at this Wednesday, but I wanted to get this on the blog so you can check it out. By the way, the singing astronaut is Canadian Chris Hadfield. He has a dedicated channel on you-tube and a teenaged kid of his own, so he mixes that up to interact with educators everywhere.
But this link is pretty amazing~enjoy!

and the usual caveats apply to a Christian world view versus naturalism. Consider together.
