The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Science
An excellent discussion on space today and some of the vast distances involved. The slideshow is still posted to Slideshare for anyone who wants to look it over.
We'll have a 5 question science quiz tomorrow.
History
We had a discussion on North American slavery today. The class was incredibly attentive and had some excellent questions and insights. It is a difficult subject to discuss, and I struggle with the level of detail to introduce, but as always, this class showed nothing but maturity and thoughtfulness. I was very proud.
We'll have a 5 question history quiz tomorrow.
