Science Project Update!

Reminder that students in grades 2,3, and 4 should have selected and begun working on their science projects. Projects are due Thursday for presentation. Students have been given science activity books from which they can select a project of interest or from any other sources such as the internet.  I will be providing additional labels for presentation boards for any student that may need them. Students in grade 4 if so choose to, may do their presentations using micro-soft power point instead of a board. They can download or save their work on a flash drive or USB. 

Thank You. 
Mr. Badia
