We'll be studying three major areas this year. They include:
- Plate tectonics and all the earth's changes that bring about earthquakes, volcanoes and changes to the earth's surface and it's interior.
- Weather and climate with many of the change that go on around us on both a short term and long term basis.
- Astronomy with a focus on earth, moon and sun relationships.
Your students may chat with you about the international space station and space shuttle orbits we'll be able to see in the night sky.
Looking forward to another awesome year.

Thanks to all those parents who participated on the '09 field trips to OSU and PSU your support is really appreciated. Our students had fun visiting the labs and displays at both schools.
We'll have two more field trips before the end of the year. One to MHCC to visit the planetarium in April, and one May/June to Mt Saint Helens and Johnston Ridge Observatory there.
We're currently finishing up our study of earthquakes and vocanoes. This will lead us into our coverage of weather. In March we'll spend a week covering health ed issues in the former STARS program renamed, For Real Relationship Education and Life Skills.
Thanks for your support in all endeavors.
