Week 12

Everyone already knows the particulars of your assignments this week. Don't forget to work with your parents to refine and focus your science fair research question before you begin to write about the science behind your project. :)



As we discussed in class, we'd like to put together a package for Cameron Bein's brother, who is serving in Afghanistan. In addition to the letter each student will write, we hope everyone can bring at least one item off the suggested list below. If you want to share with each other what you'd like to bring, that would probably help avoid a lot of repeats. If we send him 11 bottles of Axe, he might develop a complex! :)



We will pray for him and all of the soldiers as we box the items as a class activity on 11/29. I will ship the box out the next morning to ensure it arrives in time for Christmas.
