What We Did Today
Students got back their quiz on "Solid, Liquids and Gas". There are no corrections on this because it was an open note test. Students then showed me their notes were complete and then were able to use the rest of the hour on writing the story or drawing their character. This will probably be the last class period to work on the project - it is an at home assignment and the final product is due Thursday, January 19.
Homework
Work on your Super Element project.
