Extra Credit Week 2

What three Native American tribes belonged to the alliance (a group that works together and supports each other) known as the Council of Three Fires?

Last weeks answer was as you all guessed: Saturn's moon, Titan!

A few thoughts...

I am very proud of all of you for doing the extra research! Please keep in mind that parents are allowed to post thoughts and questions too!
You do not have to spend a lot on money on the solar system project! Cut out the planets and glue them on to a shoebox or hang them from a hanger. Use things you find around the house. Comets are pretty small compared to planets, perhaps the size of a pencil eraser.
Finally, please read the posts before you ask a question, often the question has already been answered!
Here's a cool site to learn more about space.

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to our new blog page!! My hope is that we have a forum for discussion and for parents and students to use each other as resources as well!! This will be a great place to continue class discussions, I'll post extra credit questions, we can ask for help, and we'll see where it takes us!! Most of you students know more about computers than I do, so feel free to offer suggestions!!
I'm so excited to see where this takes us!
