This week we simply share a few of our musings and studies.....


7th and 8th grade studied a famous poem by Robert Frost:

"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening"

BY ROBERT FROST

Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. 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.

6th grade read two poems, discussing their structure and meaning:


"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" (It's actually a 5 stanza poem.)

BY JANE TAYLOR

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky. When the blazing sun is gone, When he nothing shines upon, Then you show your little light, Twinkle, twinkle, all the night. Then the traveler in the dark Thanks you for your tiny spark, How could he see where to go, If you did not twinkle so? In the dark blue sky you keep, Often through my curtains peep For you never shut your eye, Till the sun is in the sky. As your bright and tiny spark Lights the traveler in the dark, Though I know not what you are, Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

"Those Winter Sundays"

Our Passion Problems:

Proof of their efforts today:


India helping Reeves. Thank you, India!


Research goes best with tunes, man!

We have hot tea!

Working 9 to 5....

Lost in a book. Next to a window. With a cup of tea. Not a bad Friday!


Engineering takes constant adjustments....


Thank you for mismatched socks! It's a good day!

Focused. Ignore the biohazard bag. It's just holding research.

The aftermath. .... Wait, we have to clean up our own mess?
