Please read the following information:
*Students will have only one more classroom day in the Media Center to use the computers to work on their project. Therefore students that do not have a working computer, must do their research and/or typing at the public library, or at the Media Center before school, after school, or during lunchtime.
* My students will participate in an Olympic Games activity this week. I have a committee of students that are planning the activities instead of completing the assigned Connections/Contribution project. Each student planning an Olympic Game must create a poster with clearly written instructions for his/her particular game. Poster and all materials for the games are due Wednesday.
***My grades will be posted online by Wednesday***
