Tadpole News

I purchased the Stage Two habitat for our tadpole to move into after it's metamorphosis into a frog and guess what? It was delivered on Friday while I was at the conference and it came with a baby frog. Once our tadpole completes the full metamorphosis to the frog stage, we will have to introduce the two to each other and hopefully they will co-habitate happily together. Fingers crossed!

Columbus Day Weekend

I hope you all have an enjoyable three day weekend. Remember to read Chapter 6 in the Homework Machine and take notes. Be sure to complete the Planisphere activity on Monday evening and check to see if you can locate the morning star, Venus.

Planishpere Activity

The stars were twinkling bright last night and was conducive to our Planisphere activity. I know that I was able to identify many of the constellations while my husband and I took Jackson for his evening walk. How did you do?

I hope you all had a relaxing four-day weekend. Remember that the Homework Machine posters are due on Wednesday, October 5th!
