Utilizing the informational Bluebook, we will be researching the entire ballot. I absolutely encourage you to have conversations with your children about what the issues are, who is running, what they stand for and how it could affect our community, state and nation. After the election, we will be investigating the results and the outcomes with a critical eye. From there we will be continuing our focus on writing, (both personal and formal formats) and studying the previous decades\u2019 events that have led to our current state of affairs.<br \/>\nDP &#8211; \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/shanenelsonanimashighschool.weebly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/shanenelsonanimashighschool.weebly.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Science &#8211; Summer Sanford<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Students are designing and conducting research projects around growing plants. We are doing these research projects along with Math 2. They have just started their unit on sample sizes and learning how to run and interpret statistical analysis. Students will be conducting research, comparing different designs (if building they are building something like an aquaponics unit), and getting their designs approved by Dan and me. Once they are approved they can start their research projects!
