What’s Up?

Science Fair!  That’s what!!!  Most of you should be conducting your experiments this week.  I’m anxious to see the results!  We’ll also begin planning our display boards.  Be sure to check the Science Fair wiki to monitor your progress.  Let me know if your progress page hasn’t been updated properly.

The tech department has let us use 5 laptops from the mobile lab.  (Oh yeah!!!) This will really speed things along!   I will post a checklist on the Science Fair wiki to keep you updated on the technology stuff you need to do as your project continues.

I am absolutely amazed at how effortlessly you’ve incorporated technology into your project with the wiki!  I’ve got more ideas for you, so stay tuned!

We are in the planning phase of our Webkinz convention.  I have added a page on the wiki to post ideas for the convention.  I’m thinking possibly the 27th?  I’ll let you know.  It’s going to be a blast!

This week we go back to our morning blogging schedule.  If there are no glitches with the  laptops, then we’ll have two groups blogging every other day. 

Group 1 (starts Monday)

Kristopher, Monica, Chance, Eric, Madison, Shanna, Lauren, Teagan, Zack,

Group 2 (starts Tuesday)

Samantha, Alex Mo, Hannah, Becca, Ashley, Eryn, Brooke, Bronson, Elizabeth, Alex Ma.

More later….
