To Infinity and BEYOND!

We began our review of the planets today...all 8 or 9 of them, depending upon your age.... :)  We are reviewing information that all scholars should already know before heading into new material. We discussed the planets in order, compared and contrasted them, and classified them as inner and outer. We also discussed the sun as a star....all primary concepts for our astronomy unit.....the photo is of students representing planets, inners, outers, and dwarfs....

Sam Pope was chosen to lead as instructor for the second graders as they learned about pulleys in their simple machines unit. Sam demonstrated bring the state flag up and down, and then allowed the second graders to use the pulley themselves.


Today is the last day of Hanukkah. Scholars will celebrate as we finish up the season. One more day of dreidel and then we will we enjoy it at our holiday party on the 20th.
