Welcome to 2019. HAPPY NEW YEAR
Many students have been emailing me about the scientist project. Great to see that so many are thinking about it and working on it. You will be spending some time in small groups where you can do some peer editing and practice your presentation. You should practice your presentation for your family too. The presentations will begin on Wednesday, but I will be collecting the posters on Monday and Tuesday when you return right after the break.
