Study/Learn
I. It's time to move on to solving the pyraminx. This video explains it so well. Pull out your pyramids, and follow along with him to minute 7:30. After you learn how to solve 1 side, keep mixing it up to practice solving any side. Solve 1 side of pyramid at least 5 times, so you get used to the right motions to solve it. You can re-watch the video as often as you need.
II.Watch these videos about a few of our new notecard terms. We will be playing a game in class with your knowledge. Make a little note/doodle about each video in your CPB.
III. Read chapters 9 and 10 (pages 101-118) in The Glory of the Stars. Fill in your constellation packet for Taurus and Gemini, and their supporting constellations.
Know/Understand
I. Choose 1 of the Following:
Option 1. Solve this Krypto (Rules below)
Here are 5 numbers: 7, 8, 9, 3, 2
Target # 237
New Rule: You may use an exponent (any # you choose in addition to the 5 given #'s) on 1 of the 5 provided Numbers. This is not required.
Rules: Using each of the 5 numbers ONLY ONCE, you may use any combination of addition, subtraction, multiplication or division to manipulate the 5 numbers in any order to reach the target number.
Example: if you had the 5 numbers: "8,4,1,6,3", you could reach the target number of 11 by doing: 3 x 4 + 1 - (8 - 6)
There is always a way, usually more than 1, to reach the target number.
Use your commonplace book to record your trial and error. Record your equation and bring it to class!
Option 2
Create some type of Math Art. The link will give you ideas. This is totally open to your ideas and imagination. Be creative, have fun. Bring it to class to share!
Option 3
Print out and complete this Rebus. Write the answers for each puzzle.
Option 4
Print out and complete this Logic page. Bring your completed work to class.
II. Find Orion in the night sky. He is one of the great winter constellations that are easy to spot. We won't study him until spring, but I'd like you to see him when he's so bright in the sky! He looks like this: Seriously, you can do this!!
The bright star on his right shoulder is called Betalguez (sounds like "beetle juice") and means: "the coming of the branch." The 3 close stars, evenly spaced are his belt. Then the 4 close stars hanging down, are part of his sword. He is now out just after dark. He takes up a large part of the sky. He's a fun constellation to see.
III.
If you signed up to give a report this week (either from Glory of the Stars, or Ancient History), please come prepared to present a 5 (or so) minute presentation on your chapter. Get together with your partner and talk about how you'd like to present together. You can split it up, or work together however you want. (Laws...you didn't have a chance to sign up, so if you'd like to click on the links to the google docs, you can choose a spot for this month, or any available openings for the rest of the year.)

Become/Serve
Great work on writing your Psalms! I've loved reading them. I'm impressed with your insight and thoughtfulness. I will post a few each month for you to read. Here are a few for this month. As you read each psalm written by one of your classmates, see if they resonate with what you believe. I hope you all realize your amazing insight. And the fact that you have great friends!
I want to gain knowledge that will help me give others joy and peace. I also want to gain knowledge that will help me grow.
He has that knowledge.
There is so much to learn, and oh how I wish I could know it all. The stars in the heavens prove to us that the possibilities are endless, for the stars go on for eternity.
| EVERYTHING iS DETAIedL AND GOD PUT IT THERE FOR US. WE JUST HAVE TO BE WILLING TO LOOK AND SEE WHAT HE DOES FOR US. THE STARS THE SKY THE ALL HAVE MEANING. WE KNOW THEY EXIST BUT WHAT DO THEY MEAN TO US? DO WE EVER LOOK AT THE SKY? AND SEE ITS BEAUTY? HEAVEN COULD BE UP THERE IT REALLY COULD. |
I thrill to grab my Lord and hug Him close and tight, to also give my Heavenly Father a smile bright. I want to be as close to them as I can be, I want to know them well. I yearn to speak and learn with them and all their stories tell. But I am just dust on this earth and can't be yet as They. So I will ponder, think, and watch, and love, be light, and pray.
I ponder how the heavens came to be. I cannot even fathom how they began, how many worlds without end are beyond the stars. | The sky is mysterious and holds so many secrets. and I want to know them all. As the stars glow up above i wandered what it would be Like to be in the sky up there with all of the bright stars. I hope that i would know everything about them one day so I sat there under the night sky and watched as the Stars slowly sing me to sleep. When I woke up my mom came out to me ask what I wanted to eat breakfast and I said I'm coming to make something in a minute right now I still want to feel God's love for me. |
On the fourth day, God chose to create something for his children to gaze and wonder at: the Heavens. We desire to learn about the Celestial because we see the majesty God made for us to discover. The night sky is filled with the signs and stories of Christ, as we learn in Vanguard. My spirit cries ‘I wish to have Him tell me these stories in the stars’; alas, for now I must wait and watch and learn. | The heaven's are what make up the sky, stars, unavers, and our world as we know it. The stars make up constellations that are beautiful to find in the night sky.
The constellations were made by god, he placed them one by one, he made sure we could find them, and enjoy them. ~billy |
In the darkness so bright the shimmering stars awake at night made from every piece of light his love coming down for sight. We ask him for knowledge

| WHILE SOME PREFER, THE DAY SO BRIGHT, IT IS THE STARS, THAT SHINE THROUGH THE NIGHT. GOD’S GREAT CREATION,THE GREAT AND MIGHTY STARS, THOUGH WE CAN SEE THEM, THEY ARE OF A FAR. the beautiful stars, burning red, blue, gold. Some of them may be thousands of years old. Even the stars that we can’t see. Are everything God wanted them to be Looking at the stars early in the night, is truly now one of my favorite sights. While some see them and think they’re a bore, others are curious and want to know more. wackie 3 |
