*Science Projects*

Students are still presenting Habitat projects. They are taking such pride in all their hard work and it shows!

Khan Academy

2nd and 3rd grade students should be using the Khan Academy website to practice for the MAP test. This site aligns directly to your student's MAP scores. If you have any questions about this please contact me via email.

Media Festival 

Every year hundreds of students in all grades in Georgia produce media projects and submit them for judging, first in local and then system festivals. Projects are judged for their excellence in production, writing, creativity, lighting, and impact. The Media Festival does not pit one entry against another. Rather, it seeks to recognize a high quality of workmanship and thoughtfulness, and doesn’t simply award first, second, and third place. The due date for Media Festival projects at Ellis will be Monday, February 27, 2017.

*Please remember to email me if your student would like to participate in the Student Media Festival.
