Follow the instrction you were given for log and naming each piece of your art work. The CD will be due during the nine week test time. If you need help do not wait for the last minute.
Feb.9,2007: There still appear to be some misunderstanding about how many project asr due and when they are due. In clearing this up you may recall there are Twenty-four project to be completed. Twelve were to be completed for the first semester and twelve for the second semester. That would give you to complete six per nine week period. Three project have been and will be due for progress report time, same as what you did for the first semester. Hope this clears up this issue.
*** Parents: Can you check to see if you son or daughter is spending time working on their projects at home. It is most important that they put in enough time at school and home so that all course requirements are meet, in respect to completed assignments. Thanks for your help.
