Intensive Chemistry Labs in January
Hello dear homeschool friends, I have found a great, GREAT resource that allows our high schoolers to get A-G approved Biology and Chemistry labs for UC Campus approval. Kids will gather in my home (1240 Kirkhill Dr., Roseville, 95747) and do a WHOLE YEAR of Chemistry labs in just 4 WEEKS, meeting once a week. They will have a complete, actual lab book (not just a lined notebook or composition book). Can be used with ANY Chemistry curriculum you're using. No more having to go to class week after week after week. Just do it all in 4 WEEKS with an expert. All equipment and supplies included in the price. The more kids we have, the lower the price! So please, consider this option. It really is VERY reasonably priced when you compare to the price of a "Science Weekend" with less hours and individual attention. This is a max of 1 to 5 ratio. I'll hope you'll join us. For additional information, please look at labratacademy.com or email me atthesondrols@gmail.com. Please let me know if interested ASAP!!Sheila Sondrol, M.S., MFTProfessional Piano instruction(P.S.- I have already used her for reviewing some Biology labs that we did not quite complete accurately and she did a fabulous job!)
