April Eureka Apprentice
Please Bring to Class: Your Book and your Pyraminx OR your 2X2 Rubix, whichever one you work on.
Study/Learn
I.
Option I. Continue learning to solve the pyraminx. This video explains it so well. Pull out your pyramids, and finish the entire solving process. Come to class knowing how to solve it.
Option 2. Pull out your 2X2 cube, and learn how to solve it. This is a good beginner video.
Be prepared to stand and solve 1 of these! To those who haven't been keeping up with this because it seems intimidating, give it a try! Everyone will stand with 1 group or the other. The great thing about these videos, is that they give you a simple step-by-step method. If you invest 20 minutes of time learning, then a few practice runs, you'll have it down. You can do it! Give your brain a good workout. :)
II.Gematria is a mathematical cypher used by Hebrews to study the Torah. Watch this short video for a small sample of gematria.
III. Read chapters 11 and 12 ( pages 119-136) in The Glory of the Stars. We did it! We finished this awesome book on constellations!
Fill in your constellation packet for Cancer and Leo, and their supporting constellations.
Find the 8 constellations you read about on pages 24-25 of the book, or any other star chart. Here is a good one online.
Know/Understand
I. Print out this Sky Map. This is your ticket into class. Draw the lines for AT LEAST 10 constellations, and label them. This is how the sky looks now! It will be mostly the same in a couple weeks at our campout. If you can recognize the ones you choose, our stargazing will be so much MORE FUN! The link I gave above for the Glory of the Stars assignment, will help if you'd like to use a resource.
II. 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.

Become/Serve
Matthew Chapter 2:
1 Now when Jesus was aborn in Bethlehem of Judæa in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2 Saying, aWhere is he that is born bKing of the Jews? for we have seen his cstar in the east, and are come to dworship him.
Search your scriptures, and find 1 sign (NOT the star of Bethlehem :) in the sky that has been prophesied. In class, we'll discuss what you find. Be prepared to tell us if the sign has been fulfilled, or not. How do you know?
