Here are the records from my 8 years of teaching 6th grade science.
On Tuesday, March 27th, our students got to meet two Wounded Warriors from the Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team. Here’s the story Fran Riley from Channel 6 put together and also the Wounded Warrior website.

Please use the website below to help you select a volcano to research. Remember no two people in the same class can research the same volcano. Make sure the volcano you choose has plenty of information. Refer to your volcano card to see what information you need to find.
You will present your volcano card to your class later in the week. You will be graded on your presentation and the card. Make sure they both are AWESOME!
