ICYMI: Presentation Sign-Up Is Monday

Black kitten with caption, It's Friday the 13th? Oh no. I has to be evil today.Presentation sign-up will be on Monday. Be in class and ready to choose your time slot when the sign-up form opens. In your presentation, you will show off your project, talking about what you did and why you did it. It’s okay if your project isn’t quite finished. You will present whatever you have.
