La Brea Tar Pits is having a FREE homeschool day:

STEAM Pathways Homeschoolers and their families receive free Museum admission and special Homeschool Day programming! We offer these dates twice a year at La Brea Tar Pits, each with a different theme.

1. Go to the woods. Bring a pinecone home.🌲🌲🌲
2. Put the cone in a pot with some soil - so that most of it stands out.
3. Every day water it with a small amount of water, as excess water makes the cones rot.
4. After some time, a tiny tree will appear.
5. Congratulations - you just started oxygen production and you have a piece of forest in your own home.🍁🍂🍃.
Thank-you for doing something for nature!

You can send this to your friends and relatives who are worried about your kids.

Providence Christian College in Pasadena is offering a dual enrollment choir class.
The class takes place Wednesday mornings from 8:45-9:50am starting August 16th. There will be roughly one evening rehearsal a month (typically on a Tuesday evening from 8-9:30pm), as well as a chapel performance (Wednesday December 6th, 10am) and our final Christmas concert (tentatively December 8th at 7pm). We are happy to accept students from a variety of backgrounds from first time singers to seasoned choristers. Students can expect to learn basic vocal technique as well as have the opportunity for one on one focused coaching at least once in the semester, should they be interested. Additionally students will be introduced to music basics including vocabulary and artistry, and be evaluated based on participation, quality of performance, attendance, and memory.
The course fee for this 1 unit course is $100.00. In addition, each student must purchase a dress or tux for performances. They range from $75-$125. Information will be given at the first class. Payment will be due then.
