Invention Research Project



Over the next three weeks, STAR Testing will be conducted for the district and students will not be pulled for their regular ALERT classes.  I wanted to give students the opportunity to engage and deepen their understanding of our semester theme, Exploration Through Problem Solving.  I have created a short project to engage them over the break.  They were given a packet with project choices and directions (both linked below). The project is due the day of their class during the second week of March.  It is meant to be as simple or complex as your student chooses to make it.  Please don't let this be a burden or stress to your family.  If you are unable to participate I understand.  I hope it is a fun way for your child to bring their learning home to you! Please let me know if you have any questions!
