PHOTOS NEEDED FOR PROJECT
Next week we will begin working on a project during the times we're not taking the standardized IOWA tests. If able, students are invited to bring photos or copies of photos to use on their posters. The photos could be of themselves and/or their families. If photos are unavailable, the project may still be completed. Photos are only used to enhance the project. A lack of photos will NOT affect the grade.
