A test is coming!

We announced today that the test over section C will be March 4th. That will give us March 3rd to cover any review the students feel they need. February 26th all the reading for the chapter should be done. Monday will be Project Northland, but by Tuesday the students should be familiar enough with the chapter to be able to discuss it. Have a great week-end.

Hope you saw the Lunar Eclipse last night - it was fantastic. We were fortunate to be able to see it here. You may have noticed it appeared the light came back the wrong way. I contacted KSL and asked why the light disappeared as you would think, but it came back left to right. Keith Merrill the meteorologist said, "During a moon phase, the light or shadow always go from right to left because of the rotation of the moon. Last night, the moon was traveling from right to left into the shadow of the Earth, so it would appear to us on Earth that the shadow was moving from left to right." Pretty interesting!
