Hi folks! I hope that all of you have a wonderful Christmas and new year. I pray that the end of your 2010 is everything that your dreamed of and more.
For many of you, I hope our shared celebration of Christ's birth, right up to the Epiphany season, is time spent in joy with your family, in peace with yourself and others, with hope for your future, and with love for everyone and everything that is around you!
Astronomy -- 1st period did not get to take the outer planets quiz prior to our departure before break. Just know that you will take it the SECOND class period that you are back from break. That will be Wednesday, January 5th. We will begin talking about the sun when you return in January. So, if you get a chance, check out this cool website on space weather and the links that it contains. You will never look at the sun in the same way again!
Geology -- We took notes on glaciers before you left, and that is exactly where we will pick up when you return. While I didn't get a chance to post the notes on the blog here yet, they will be posted, at the lastest, the day that we return. Regardless, work on your book homework and be ready to slide right back in on January 3rd!
BRCC folks -- We will have a visit from a JMU professor to help us better understand water testing. The date is still up in the air, but after that, we will schedule a time to collect samples. Otherwise, enjoy your break!
Freuliche Weinachten!
