APES- Books Friday 3/13

3/13  Bring books to work on the next chapters

APES 3/11/15

Great job overall on the presentations I learned something new from almost all of them.  I find it concerning that almost all of the policy and legislation are put into place AFTER the fact.

This week we need to decide on what 2 topics we will be presenting to Walnut Elementary, what time we plan to go, and a general window for dates sometime around Spring break if it would work for Walnut.  The school wants something that is somewhat interactive.

We will be dedicating one day a week to plan and start putting to action the final project, we have the "all clear" from administration, so lets get going on it.
