Biome Projects!
Hey Ladies and Gents,
I have more pics, but I need permission from your grown-ups to post them on this blog! Have your ma or pa jot me a note to tell me that it's okay to put your beautiful face on the internet! Some of you might be getting tired of seeing my first period kids!
PROJECT UPDATE!
We will work on the computer lab on Monday during class. Those students in my Blue Group will finish their PPT presentations and email them to my computer.
Students in the Gold Group will collect information to use when they put together their project. If they are comfortable doing a PPT they may. If they would rather do a poster or a shoe box project, they will work on that on Tuesday.
Blue Group projects are due Wednesday.
Gold Group projects are due Thursday.
We went to 'Goop Camp'!

GRADES
I was working on grades for my third period class when my computer had a mishap. I will double check the grades at school to see if they were entered correctly. Thanks, NW

1/4 cup of rock salk or table salt
1 1/2 to 2 cups of ice
1 tsp of vanilla
2 tablespoons of sugar (add more to taste)
1/2 cup of whole milk
measuring cup and spoon
- measure sugar, milk, and vanilla into a small bag
- shake bag to mix ingredients
- fill the large bag with ice and salt
- place the small bag inside the large one
- hold on to the top of the small bag near the top so salt doesn't get in the ice cream
