Continuing Poor Air Quality

I have planned to complete presentation of Kepler's 2nd and 3rd Law and have a formal review for Doppler Effect; the formation of the Universe and the Solar System for the upcoming test. I plan to complete the activities with our classes on Wednesday and make myself available afterschool on Wednesday and Thursday for anyone that needs help with preparing for test if the air quality allows it.

My goal is to complete the test before Thanksgiving Break to maximize the amount of time you are able to focus on your family over break.

If you are able, post questions, comments or helpful links to the blog so we can communicate as we are able. Please stay on the topic of reviewing for the upcoming test on Doppler Effect, the formation of the universe and the solar system or Earth's Place in the Universe.

Stay safe. Help your family and neighbors. Make good choices.
