The Big One!



The big one is upon us! Students in Ms. Vanni's Language Arts class have been undertaking one of their first research projects at Shadow Ridge. Over the past few weeks students have used a combination of printed and online materials to secure more information about a selected topic. An important component is for the students to learn how to create a work cited page ensuring credit of ideas to the respective author(s). Stay tuned for another update.
