Syllabus

All students will soon have an assignment of bringing their books home for parents to review the syllabus and sign the parent consent form. This is just so you will know what they are doing and who they have chosen as their research projects, as well as due dates, deadlines, and grading procedures. Just wanted to include the parents in all the information about their class, as I am sure you will be very involved in helping your child with their projects:) I am attempting to attach the syllabus to this blog. Students have also written in all deadlines and topics that apply to them, as well as specifics. I will be posting the deadlines again for any who may have missed them. Feel free to make a copy to keep at home.
