Rubric for Projects

Ocean Projects are looking good!!!

We will have Friday and Monday to work on projects in school.

In addition, continue to work at home. This includes last minute research, revising and editing your work, and gluing down any final touches.

Final projects are due on Tuesday, September 29.

You can bring these to my room in the morning. I will have you place them with your class pile.

If you finish early, there are other options to keep you engaged and learning in class.

Below is the rubric again, in case you cannot find yours.

Keep up the good work!!
