We are working on our Amusement Park Project. During the next two weeks we want to accomplish 1. Finishing motion standards 2. Reviewing for the CRCT 3. Preparing data for our Project. I have stressed to the students that they will have to work very hard during the next two weeks. I have challenged them to make this the best Science Project they will do in Middle School. I want them to leave my class with something that they are very proud of. We had a good day today-Keep up the hard work. Please question you child nightly about our progress. Most work will be completed in class. However if you child starts to get behind, they may have to take their work home.
