Can Noise Make a Difference?
Does your home have a quiet place for studying, reading and learning. Is that important for you and your family? What about schools and the classroom? Does it have to be quiet in the classroom for learning to take place? Sound, as we know, is measured in decibels. How many decibels would be a reasonable level for you, or for children to learn? Are classrooms today too loud for learning to occur?
A Roaring Good Time at the 2023 Cathedral Village Arts Festival
Mz. Muzik and BowTie Guy had all their little dinosaur friends and their parents roaring, singing, and dancing at the Cathedral Arts Festival on Saturday May 27.
Math & Geometry
Unfortunately, many students (and even adults) struggle with math. One topic that people find especially challenging is geometry. Perhaps it is because it is the first time that students encounter proofs, and geometry requires a level of lateral thinking that most children find difficult. Knowing the basics such as identifying geometric shapes and their properties may help.

ENDANGERED Species Day
What is an endangered species? Endangered species is a type of organism that is threatened by extinction. Species become endangered for two main reasons: loss of habitat and loss of genetic variation. The Javan Rhino is currently the most endangered species in the world. Once found throughout south-east Asia, Javan Rhinos have suffered a staggering decline in their numbers due to hunting and habitat loss.
