Students will have the opportunity to complete stations that they have not yet finished. Specifically, they can work on the Engineering, Arts and sMall Group stations. All work must be completed by the end of class on Friday.

In order to help students stay organized, I will begin
listing the table of contents entries they will be responsible for each
week. Because this is new, students will
not be required to go back to previous pages and change theirs. Moving forward it should match the example
below. The date of each activity may be
different than below because of their choice of order. The required elements are the Content
