Fisher-Fogel, Madelyn / "Smarty Pants"

This is a project for my students above and beyond what is expected in class.
They will work on this during free time in class. They can also work on
this at home. All answers must be written in their Reading Journal.

You will choose a topic (social studies, science, language arts,
math, Spanish, or miscellaneous)and then decide on which area you want
to investigate. Then click on the website to find the
answers. Some of them are very simple to do and others
will take more time.


Good Luck & Have Fun!
