Sherlock Holmes

In our imaginations Sherlock Holmes seems real. But he is actually a fictional character created by writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock's keen observations always led him to solve the crime. One of his best and most well-known stories is The Hound of the Baskervilles. Attached is a copy of the story that you may want to read before the next class meeting on Tuesday, November 23rd at 1:30. We will see the movie and then discuss how this sleuth solved the story. Note that this is a long movie....so the class may run long.

Math is Fun !

As "seniors" we remember our ABCs.....but do we remember those math formulas from 40 years ago? Associate Professor Kim Lane showed us some basic math that we may have forgotten. If you use math in fun ways, you are more likely to remember the process. Read the attached pages to see how working through some fun problems may help fire those sleeping synapses. What better way to relearn Algebra than figuring out which is the best pizza deal.

It's ALL about Walking

The weather is finally cooler after a long, hot summer. Time to get out and start walking. Lisa Brashier, Professor of Kinesiology at LSC-CyFair, led us through a 30 minute class about what we can do to get moving. From warming up with easy stretches, to a strong walk through campus, to a few cool-down stretches, we learned how to incorporate settings from our everyday life into our own healthy lifestyle. We will look at a curb and bench in a whole new way!
