Okay Megan....Here Ya Go!

So Megan, I posted your comment, but now I can't find it! What blog entry did you comment on? I've looked around for it, but it seems to be missing in action. And yes, I'm sooooooooo proud of you for leaving a comment! I just wish others could see it. Let me know if you find it. I also agree with you that Mr. Ealy should have better things to do than eat cake in front of all of us! What's up with that?

I'm sure by now you have all figured out that this time of the year is project time! Everyone seems to be really getting into the planet project and research portion. This astronomy "stuff" truly fascinates me! I could seriously teach this all year....we're only scratching the surface in class, so please learn about even more yourself when you're online. There are TONS of astronomy and space websites, as you're discovering. Once we are finished with the project, we have our last chapter (16) to complete, which is on stars. You had a crash course in this when we went to the planetarium. We'll study the sun, as well as other stars. In the past, students seem interested in how stars are "born," but more importantly, they can't get enough of.......you guessed...how they DIE! Now don't go getting all nervous....the sun has a few billion years to go before it fizzles.

Speaking of projects, I'm very proud of how so many of you are already done with your books for the Reading Around the World project and also that almost half of you have a tremendous jump on your packets. I can't wait to see all of your final products! And obviously, we all can't wait to EAT! Remember, snoop around the Internet for a main dish or a side dish from your country. We'll negotiate desserts later! I'm getting hungry now, and since this is a "training night," I was already hungry once I sat down to write this! : )

Well, this one's short and sweet. See ya'll tomorrow! Check out the waxing crescent tonight as it makes its way over to a first quarter in a couple of days!

Miss D.
