The Heart of a Scientist

Hey Fabulous scholars,
we have an extra week before our next class, lets jump right on things and do any catch-up we should do or <gasp> get ahead. Take some time to analyze what you've done, and figure out what still needs to be done and your plan for doing it. I'm already starting to think of next semester, and it is very exciting!

Flatland related comment: we are NOT STUCK seeing things as we've always seen them. Or being how we've always been. If we do not naturally have the perseverance/heart of a scientist to keep trying things over and over, changing something to see if that has an effect and then going back to the drawing board as necessary, or any other Habit of a Scientist, we can develop it when we understand the principle and conscientiously apply it in our lives.

Assignments:
A. Habits: Core book studies, math lesson, write daily in log book
B. Read Inteligro Math & do exercises therein, due Jan 8
C. Permission slip for field trip: completed and signed by a parent
D. Skill Focus: Care/Grow your own Heart of a Scientist. We practiced visualizing who and what we most care about that might help us have the Heart of a scientist. You could continue to ponder this and/or write them down. What are you passionate about?
E. Presentations: Trey & Jared if we have time

I noticed a pattern yesterday: everyone has been here every day of class! And now we will all be absent next week...awww. Have a wonderful, warm, loving, full of gratitude Thanksgiving:-)
