Update from October 17th

The Explorer Projects are due on Monday, November 3rd.  That is two weeks from this upcoming Monday.  Students have all of this information.  The only addition to this info is that they need to “share their sources” with me on Google Docs.  They have been learning about this process during their research time the last three weeks in the Media Center.

Thank you Eileen, KK, and Cameryn for writing our update for the week!  Have a great weekend!
