Friday, February 7th- All NEWSELA and Brainpop Quizzes are due.

We will plan to peer edit on Thursday, February 13th.  You will use a digital copy so that editing is easier.  You should wait until peer editing is complete to print your final project. 

February 18th and 19th - These are flex days.  Since many students will be finished by this point, you will have the option of working on your project or participating in another activity.
