 * __Pre-Algebra__-**
 * __Social Studies__- **
 * __Science__ - Students are presenting their chemistry projects for the next three days, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. **
 * __Language Arts__ -Over the past couple of days, students have been conferencing with me about their project plans. Students were able to choose activities to complete related to their independent reading book. Each task is worth an amount of points and students had the freedom to choose which tasks they wanted to complete. They also had to discuss what final products were going to look like, and what dates each task would be done by. They are working hard reading, writing, recording etc. I look forward to the end products when they are all done. Stay tuned for details on how we will showcase our hard work. **
