R-51 is hilarious and always brings a smile!
Acellus is the best thing that ever happened to me. <3 And I thank my parents for that. Merry Christmas!!!!!!!
Is Acellus homeschool a purely online curriculum or are there in-person locations for classes?
How many kilometers long is the Milky Way galaxy, and who was the first person in the world to discover it?
The Edison effect is truly amazing, now we know about the new telescope how the first touch screen iphone was made, and all the events that led up to the Edison effect and what the eEdison e ffect did for science in the future.
I love homeschooling with Acellus!
My favorite part of learning the alphabet is learning through signs for each letter, so I am really excited to see an addition od even more ASL!
Happy Holiday’s from Georgia.
Today I learned that electricity flows from the negative to positive side, and that when there is something unexplainable in science, there is normally a chance to invent something.
Happy hoildays everyone!!

Hi from Alabama
Marry Chistmas! Great live, enjoyed watching.
I agree, I think the iPhone revolutionized America (and smartphones as a whole)
I really liked learning about Thomas Edison!
As a soon to be graduate, I wish you guys could set up technical careers on IST that we could take online while we make up our minds on what we will study in college. Als that the careers on IST could be expanded.
Happy Christmas y’all, and a merry new year 😉
