NEWTONIAN MATH

Math, math!  It's everywhere!  What an awesome class.  We learned about the definition of mathematics (ask the students what it means to quantify.)  We figured out that math is in everything and is everywhere.  It was not a terrifying discovery.  Everyone in this class has an amazing mind, and we love learning together.

Time is winding down, so everyone needs to be about the work of finalizing their Science Projects and completing the requirements for the Inteligro Award.  Students have the list of requirements in their binders, so please encourage them to check them off.  Ask them to tell you what they need to do!  Everything is due no later than January 19th, so don't delay.

Next week we will discuss Coming of Age in the Milky Way.  Each student has two chapters for which they are responsible.  Annotate, annotate, annotate.  Be prepared to share what was so interesting in your chapters.  What did you learn?  What were some a-ha's and epiphanies.  We can't wait to hear them. 

Our Inteligro Math discussion will be on January 5th, so everyone has time to finish that book.  Also be preparing for your math exam, which will be on January 12th.  Lastly, we are planning a field trip to the Pierce College Planetarium on December 15th.  We would like to leave at 9:30 a.m. SHARP, so we can be back in time for the party.  Please let us know if this a hardship for you.

Thanks - your Pyramid Project mentors
