Week of Sept. 8th - 11th

 Team Urban,

Students finished up a chapter book called The Case of the Gasping Garbage.  In honor of the storyline about science detective work, we conducted a fun experiment today called "Who wrote the letter?" They were able to see the different variations in the same color ink pens and how to determine which pen was the "secret writer".

Also, students completed Topic 1 and started a fun Math Project that they will be able to share in class on Tuesday.
