With the snow day Thursday, 4/14 and testing/senior retreat Tuesday, 4/19, we will officially start our Horror Movie Project Wednesday, 4/20. I know there are some gone at the math contest, but I wanted to be sure to post the required information. We can go over it again Thursday (I know some are gone for golf), however I'm gone Friday, 4/22 (some of you ar egone for track and the K-12 assembly) and I'm also gone Monday, 4/25 and some are gone for State FFA. It will take a little extra planning and self motivation but this project is doable and will be fun to see the finished product. Below you'll find the rubric and description.
