PTA Update- October 14

Mrs. Kalner, Mrs. Bryan, Mr. Tobia- Science - Teams: 7-2 & 7-3
This week students practiced measurement and completed a lab, as well as submitted their Background research papers and hypothesis for their Science Symposium projects.  The next 2 steps which are the materials and procedure are due Tuesday October 18th.  The project timetable included in the informational packet has all of the original due dates for each part of the project.  At times we realize students can use more time so some of these dates are occasionally extended.  If these dates do not coincide with your student's class assignments, please contact that teacher directly for questions.  As a reminder the final project with the board is due Wednesday November 9th which is less than a month away.  All plant projects at very least need to get started this weekend  to have enough growth to collect data.
