Attention all time travelers!

If you are interested in learning more about time travel, go to the NOVA website. They have interviews with people like Carl Sagan and Clifford Pickover. There is also a section on the vocabulary of time travel and an invitation to learn to think like Einstein! I'll post a link.

I'll also post a link to the How Stuff Works website on time travel. They suggest that we're all time travelers in the sense that even as we sit in class, all around us the future is constantly becoming the present and then the past. Do they think time travel is possible the way we think of it?

Do you? Comment and let me know what you're thinking. (Notice that you're thinking in the present but your thoughts are in the past by the time you post...)

Welcome to the Wacky World of Enrichment

August is a great month because that's when we welcome our new 6th graders to the wacky world of enrichment! Right now they are on islands where they landed after being shipwrecked while on a cruise. From what I hear, they've encountered some really amazing things.

Seventh graders are time traveling at the moment. They're everywhere from medieval England to ancient Japan to Germany and Poland during WWII. I can't even imagine all the adventures they're having.

Eighth graders, your time is coming! This year band and orchestra are scheduled to conflict with enrichment so we'll have to get together some other way. Start thinking about how we can do that.

Comment any time. I love to hear what you have to say!
