A great start!

OK now I remember how we got everything done during Afterschooling. We are all (6 of us) on the same page and not each trying to do our own individual thing. Once again it is all of us in one room for one hour spending quality time together. Not a free for all and selfish fight over doing what we want to do and not being bothered.

This week we started our Geology unit and we have been hammering, melting and eating our way into how rocks are formed. We did this with the help of some cute little bears (they were not harmed, they were, but they didn't feel a thing).
