Students have put together fantastic powerpoint presentations to explore our solar system. Next stop, our trip next week to the planetarium in Statesboro! Along with a visit to the Georgia Southern museum, we will be exploring more about our Earth, its place in the universe, and what human endeavors have been accomplished in our efforts to learn more about us. What a great start to the fourth quarter!bubble

HW: None! It’s the end of third quarter! Final grades and comments will be sent home next week. Have a nice three-day weekend.
