Thanksgiving 2007
Here are some picture of our time in Chetek for Thanksgiving 2007.
Comet 17P/Holmes
I saw the comet tonight! I’ve been looking for it the last week but every time I go out to look it’s been overcast skies and it’s hard to see in the city. It’s in the constellation Perseus almost a little east from the zenith at around 8:00 PM in the evening. If you can find Cassiopeia (the letter A with one leg missing), it’s a little east and south in the next constellation. It looks like a round smudge on a camera lens with binoculars. Cool!

Rosalind’s VIP Week
Every child in Rosalind’s class gets a VIP week at some point during the school year. Most kids choose that week to correspond with the week they have their birthday. This week was Rosalind VIP treatment. One thing they do is bring in a mystery item to which the kids play a 20-questions type guessing game. They also show photos and the parents can come in and talk about what they do. Jean and I will be coming in to talk to the class on Friday. I am going to bring in my fossil collection and talk about finding Wisconsin fossils. Rosalind wrote down that that’s one of things she likes to do.
Rosalind has been doing really well in school. She’s involved in weekly piano lessons, brownie scouts, and choir at school. She was also picked to be one of the xylophone players for a recent school concert.
Here are some recent Rosalind related photos and some from her birthday today. Thank you to everyone who sent a card and/or a gift.
