WEEKLY HIGHLIGHTS

PRESTON

Preston watched another physics video in The Great Courses catelog.  It was called "Nature of Matter: Understanding the Physical World."  He's not really enjoying physics the way I was hoping he would, but he's pressing through anyway to try to learn what he needs to for this class.  

MARISSA

Marissa wrote a paper for her Pyramid class this week.  The focus this semester is Zoology.  She has been learning so much about animal classification.  She has specifically enjoyed learning about biomimicry, which is what her project this semester will is supposed to focus on.  She's excited and has a couple of ideas for her project that she started working on this past weekend.

CALEB

Caleb has a class at DaVinci called Biz Kids.  They are preparing for a big field trip in March at JA BizTown.  Caleb's group created a product this week as part of the class.  There were 5 of them and they made "Waffle-mon cards."  They are kind of like Pokemon cards, but they look like Waffles.  One of his friends, Liam, loves waffles, which is apparently where the idea originated.  It was fun to see the product when he brought it home.
