Science - The children will continue working on their Solar System PhotoPeach projects.  At this point, each child should have 7 facts and 5 questions (with 3 answer choices for each).  They will be saving and uploading pictures for each fact and question.  On Tuesday, I will show the students how PhotoPeach works and give them their usernames and passwords.
