Good Afternoon!

I have had a bit of confusion about what we will be working on and when we will be working on it.  Everyone with an NJ has been assigned an end of semester report over a chosen aquatic animal.  The students were given the option of having a partner or doing it on their own.  This report needs to be 2 minutes long and must equally include both partners. Props are welcome! All of these reports must include a reference page and an extra copy for me to follow along.  Everyone whom has a JNJ will be doing a book presentation.  The JNJ's will need to bring a book about the particular type of aquatic creature that they have chosen.  They must have read the book.  They will tell about that creature and use the book as a reference, but will not read the book aloud.  The students will definately need to work on these assignments at home! The rest of the semester is mapped out as follows:
                  
                    April     22- desalination experiment (we are waiting for sun)/NJ final Review,                                                 Discussion.
