Dear Students and Parents,

We began our day with a brainpop review on citing sources. Next, I explained what is due when on our research project, giving examples and answering questions. Then the class had the opportunity to copy their answers to their “book questions” that had been previously turned in. Finally students were able to spend the rest of the class period working on their “created answers” for their project.

Have a great evening.
