Rubric: 75% on drawing, creativity, and correct labeling

           25% on verbal communication- explaining their project to the class.

Dear Parents,

The students will have an opportunity to show how creative they can be in science.  Our first project will deal with any theme from chapter 8 or 9 in our science textbook.  They can create a project using a poster, model, diorama, etc...  They may make an earthquake, landform, earth layers, volcanoes, or anything dealing with these two chapters.  I am sure your children have shown their letter that they had written.  Please feel free to call during conference time at 12:40. Phone number is 432-3500.

Thanks,

Mrs. Bell
