Reminder:
Your Darwin research paper is due Friday 3/13...

My Science 5th and 8th are working together in cooperative groups for this year's Scienc Fair. The 8th will act as 'mentors' and peer-leaders in order to guide the 5th through the process (5th is very excited to be their 'worker women'!).
We had our first 'meeting' this morning in the Media Center and everyone seems good to go...
I have always wanted to try something like this and these 2 particular classes/grades seem the ideal 'experiment'!!

A terrific website-enjoy!!
