Good Evening All.
This has been a great weekend for me and I hope for you as well. Hannah and I went to CalDay yesterday to see if UC Berkeley is a good fit for her. It was odd to be in the town in which I grew up, walking through a campus that was my childhood stomping ground, and doing it with my 18 year old daughter! Today has been a day of laziness, laundry, and finalizing (tax) forms.
Topics and Tasks from Last Week (parents, please ask your kid what they remember from some of the following):
creating electrical circuits and static charges
transcontinental railroad
ideas for supplemental chapter in a Steinbeck book
and, of course, the usual weekly vocabulary and current events
What's Next:
essay improvement sessions with writing coaches
cricuit simulations, home wiring project, and intro to electro-magnetism
expansion and economics
A Few Other Things
