I am going to send out emails that will

describe each of these things in more detail
but here is an overall view of the year:

There will be 2 formal

presentations: One on a famous
influential person and one on an
animal
2 group projects: topics to be
determined
1 book report
2 field trips: one to the annual
rendezvous, and another to the zoo.
(We always could use more
chaperones)

These projects are spread throughout the

entire year and will have ample time to
complete each one.
