Quiz, Test ,Gizmos, projects,and everything else

I am glad the new portal to grades is open. It will reduce paper and stress in my life! I hope it makes life for many of you easier. We still have a few discussions in class about how a paper wasn't turned in and after quizzing me is found in the book bag and other various places belonging to the child. There are still some nameless and homeless papers posted on my wall. Please remind your child to always check the wall for "Lost" work.
Please remind your children forms are due and projects should be started. I am still getting what should I do? We have been working on  Science Fair since August. Research,topics, how to and websites have been given many times to help the children.  Mr. Meeks has been in several times to help children with projects and project ideas. There is still a powerpoint on the Landon Site. We even sponsored a Science Fair night. Yes, I am still being asked,"Can I see how smart my dog is?". I have reminded children not to use humans, animals with back bones, mold,product comparisons and dry ice. 
 We have done many experiments using the scientific method and the children should be well versed in how to do planning, data collection and conclusions. All scientist can fail and your project is right even if it doesn't turn out as expected.
