Tentatively geo students will teach their Mesopotamian unit or lessons on the War in Iraq to students at Stoner Elementary on Mon, Oct 30. I'm waiting for confirmation of the bus arrangements. Classes will bus to and from Stoner Elem during the class hour, thus no classes will be missed. Our pupils will be either 4th or 5th graders, says Mrs. Martha Anderson, Stoner Elem. Coordinator.

Deadline for the 25 pt. project, however, is Thur, Oct 26. Students will lose 10 pts per day if late. All were given an explanatory check list in class Friday.
