Throughout the year we will be participating in a River X-Change project partnering up with a class in New Mexico. Students will have quizzes, field trips, data collection, reports, vocabulary, videos and more to complete tasks. This is a nation wide project many schools participate in. It is important we are accurate with our data collection and reporting because our data is used for a larger projection. This week students will get group assignments, review student behavior guidelines, take a pretest and make their first post.
