Hi class
We have come to the end of the 2nd quarter. It seems the only thing left is the final exam. But before you get in the holiday spirit, remember you still have one more project due to me.
You all must get your science fair final papers handed in to me on Monday, December 17, 2007. All experiment must be concluded and data collected.Your assignment during the break is to work on your project boards.
Your boards are due on January 7, 2008. Science fair is scheduled for the following week. You have a letter for your parent informing them of this due date. It must be signed and returned to me on Monday.
I have included the letter in this email.

Have a good week.

Hi class,
As I promised I am posting info about your upcoming test. I am going to postpone the test until Wednesday, to allow all of you time to study in your study groups. On Monday, I will give all of you a study guide to work on together.
And YES, you can use a 3X5 index card of notes on the test.
Have a great weekend
