Tuesday - Sundials are due April 26th - Time to get them done

Students started class today with a quiz on last night's reading. It should be in powerschool by tomorrow. Today we learned about the makeup of the earth. First we covered the crust, mantle and core. We talked about how big 5 kilometers are. Then we added the words lithosphere and athenosphere. Last we watched a short youtube on earthquakes which showed the plates and talked about how the mantle, volcanoes and earthquakes affect us for good.

Students received their spring pictures today. We had a discussion about why scanning their pictures and then giving the pictures back to the studio is dishonest. We also discussed that is just like stealing to either copy or keep the pictures without paying for them. We likened it to buying a prom dress, wearing it to the prom, and then returning it. Please make sure that the pictures are returned promptly if you are not going to keep them, or that the money is paid quickly so we can get everything sent back to those who did the work.
