Tuesday

Howdy all. We had a very nice today. We were able to review the process of mineral formation (heat, pressure and time), as well as discuss the manner in which minerals achieve their color. Pretty groovy stuff.
We were also able to get into early California politics and how Hiram Johnson promoted a transparent government in which the people were active participants in the decision making processes. Where did those days go? Can we get them back?
Math was an interesting assortment of decimals and fractions. Our first few pages of Farewell to Manzanar brought about a lively discussion regarding discrimination.

The class will be having a picnic on Friday up on Cow Hill behind the school. All students are encouraged to bring a sack lunch, if possible.

Students are responsible for the following tonight:

-Reading Log
-Math 102 (all)
-continue with science and WWII projects

Respectfully, Mr. B
