Homework for the week of May 9-13:

Each student has been working on a Cultural Awareness research paper in their Language Arts / Social Studies Classes.  Students who have received a score of 3 or higher on their research paper are to work on their prototype.  Students are to bring all materials needed to work on the prototype to each of their classes this week.  Students who still need to revise their research papers should bring materials for working on the research report to class each day.  There will be class time allotted for students to complete their research papers and to work on (and hopefully complete) their prototypes.


Web Question: Be the first one in your class to give Ms. Trask your work and your answer to the web question and you could win a prize. The answers to last week's question were: mean: 17, median: 18, mode: none, range: 13. Congratulations to all who solved the problem!
