In this episode-- Episode 12-- we continue our Education Topic Series with a discussion of good homework and study habits.  This topic builds upon our previous episode when we talked about Academic Achievement.  Good homework and study habits are the cornerstone of Academic Achievement and so we discuss how to develop those good habits.  The following websites provided some guidance:

For our Fluff Topic, we discussed our favorite holidays, just in time for Independence Day!

Bean Bean gives us a movie review of Inside Out.

Our Historical Spotlight for this episode goes to Dr. Ernest Just.  We got our information from the book Five Brilliant Scientists by Lynda Jones and illustrated by Ron Garnett.  Bean Bean highlights a good point: it is important to know who Dr. Just married.  His wife's name was Ethel Highwarden, and they had three children.

 

As always, thank you for listening and please join us next time!
