PLEASE NOTE THAT
THESE ARE THE REAL TIMES
"DETECTIVES/FORENSICS" WILL MEET 10/4 AND 10/11.
We are COMBINING
a little of what was covered in the first two classes into the last two
classes. Please note that there is a slight price change for THIS CLASS
ONLY. It will be $25 for BOTH -- instead of $20 as we are really getting,
like, these two classes (#3 and #4) plus parts of class #1 and #2. This is
being done to facilitate those of you who wish to do "DETECTIVES/FORENSICS #2"
which requires some/most of of "DETECTIVES/FORENSICS #1."
As a reminder,
Science2U is a vendor for many charter schools -- including Gorman and Golden
Valley.
IMPORTANT!
PLEASE NOTE: It is wisest and best to pre-register and pre-pay for classes
with Jill Wilcox [by going to
www.science2u.com and clicking on "enrollment" and then "registration
form" and printing it and filling it in and sending it with your check to
the LAKEWOOD address) up front and directly (particularly if you are with a
Charter School re: processing paperwork) to insure a spot as there will be a
cut-off at 15 students. These are "classes" -- not the "one-day wonder
workshops" where a few more students will not make a difference -- and, as
such, we are committed to making this a comfortable and enjoyable and
positive, optimum learning experience for the kids. If this is not possible
for you then please pay the teacher, Rebecca, DIRECTLY as I (Lisa) have to let
go and step back from collecting money in order to continue organizing other
fun and interesting things for y'all such as:
Homeschool
Horseback Riding -- all ages
Homeschool
Vaulting (Gymnastics on [real] horseback) -- all ages
Chemistry and
Physics for Middle and High School Kids
Writing for
Middle and High School Kids (based on "The Institute for Excellence in
