  November-December:6th Grade Earth Science News

• Congratulations to the 6th grade on their excellent Landscape Projects. Hopefully, you got an opportunity to see them on display in the Library.
• Students are now working enthusiastically on their Planet Projects and have created extremely professional and attractive PowerPoint presentations. A big thank you to Mrs. Roberts for her superb instruction on the use of PowerPoint. The Planet Presentations are full of colorful graphics, animations, sounds and interesting planetary facts which have made a very effective teaching tool as each student will educate the rest of the class on their assigned planet.
