Ms. Torres,
One question about the new project.
To make the object have noise, can we touch it or does the instrument have to play by itself?

You have to play the instrument. So, yes, you may touch it.

For the Roller Coaster Project, can we use more than one material?

Ms. Torres,
This is Grant. Isn't our quiz on chapter 3? Your blog says that it is chapter 4.

Ms. Torres,
For the new project, do we have to write any essay or presentation???
Is there anything more we need for the new project???

No essay needed. Just follow the directions on the project sheet and play me a tune.

Jeffery,
Yes, you can use any material you want. You just have to follow the spec's on the project sheet. There is a size restriction and points awarded based on amount of openess and speed.

Mrs. Torres,
this is Grant
I just have one last question before the quiz.
If you are postponing the quiz, can you remind me on Thursday?
I will then email to others again if you want.
I asked this, because I'm worried about studying about it. PLus, what happens if we just changed it right away?
Most people will then freak out.
I, myself have already studied, but I'm worried about others......
Also, was it just a romour or was it real that the third fish, Giangantore just died on the morning of Tuesday?
It was in the 6th grade room.
Oh, yeah!!!!!!
HAVE FUN ON YOUR FIELD TRIP!!!!!!!!
