End of the nine weeks and Science Project

Parents; please remember an update to the Grade Portal can take a few days. This is beyond my control. I usually grade and return papers to my students by the next class they attend. The student usually has the paper back before it shows on the Grade Portal. You should only worry if the grades don't change over a few weeks. No Grade-means the assignment has been entered in the computer but the not graded yet or not averaged into the grade yet. It is how the program is designed.



The schedule this next week.

10/24-25 Sling it Humidity

Directed Reading p 134-141 (guided outline)

Weather Project due 10/25-10-26



10/26-27- Gizmo in Class- Coastal winds
