I apologize for not being at school with you this week, but I know you guys will do just fine without me. I'm trusting you to do some work independently, following directions and taking your time. Each day you have a new task. Please take your time and do you best work. We will talk about the work you have completed when I get back.

Please leave your papers with Mrs. Voodre at the end of each day. Do not take them with you! I will collect them from Mrs. Voodre when I get back from my trip. ]]> 2019-09-19 00:21:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jamrok/science/wish/386298497 Activity 2: Research Continued jamrok https://padlet.com/jamrok/science/wish/386300988 Continue reading about the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus.
