Weekly Reminders June 8-12
Raven Homeschool, Juneau Office
Teacher Notes
This is the week that I had planned to travel for my son's wedding. With that having been postponed, I'm here gardening and fishing. The baby dark eyed juncos fledged, leaving an empty nest in my hanging basket. Next week, I'll be working Monday and Tuesday if there is anything I can do for you. Hunker down and stay healthy. ~Theresa

Request for Questions for NASA
Greetings Challenger Friends,
We have a big NASA opportunity for K-12 students! Challenger Learning Centers have been selected for the FIRST educational downlink with the first commercial crew astronauts- Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley- who launched to the International Space Station on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon on Saturday. Students can submit their questions to the astronauts via video and their video may be aired on the live chat with the astronauts in space! Questions should be based on the current SpaceX mission launch.
- All videos must be submitted to downlink@challenger.org by 8pm EDT this Friday, June 5th, 2020.
- The downlink video chat will be live on www.nasa.gov/nasalive June 19, Friday, 12:25 p.m. EST.
We realize this is short notice but we hope you can have your children record a fast video with their questions in the next two days!
Make sure to join us in watching the event June 19th!
