Reminders:

This calendar is subject to change to meet the needs of my students.

Materials for New South Circuit City Project – 4-6 flashlight bulbs (or similar), insulated wire (Home Depot or Lowes), and 3V or 9V batteries (BigLots- highly recommended for price)

Materials for Rubber Band Cars – Bring in cardboard, rubber bands, own decorative material (I suggest you look around the house for corrugated cardboard boxes, or anywhere where you can get these items for FREE.)

Materials for Standards Project – yellow pronged folder (If you started out the year with me, you may already have this material.)


Journals (or any work for the 4th marking period) will not be accepted late.  Do your best to make sure these components are evident: 4 entries with each including relevant visual representations, color, sufficient evidence of learning through original examples, and highlighting key vocabulary.
