What I've Done I completed my final progress poster with the revisions Ms. McDonald said to make and emailed it to both her and Ms. V to be printed. Plans for Today I will not be in class today, as I have a field trip. Plans for the Future I will pick up my printed poster tomorrow morning. I will prepare for Senior Project Night, which is on 23 May.

What I've Done I finished my progress poster & emailed it to Ms. McDonald to see if I needed to make any adjustments. Plans for Today I will not be in class all week, so I will wait for Ms. McDonald to reply to my email & then make the revisions at home. Plans for the Future I will make the revisions on my progress poster Ms. McDonald has for me. I will then begin working on my testing and results (not due until 1 June).

What I've Done I asked Ms. McDonald if there were any revisions I needed to make for my final paper. She said it was as good as it is going to get, so I submitted my final paper to her. Plans for Today I will finish my progress post and email it to Ms. McDonald to see if she has any adjustments that I should make to it. Plans for the Future I will make the revisions on my progress poster Ms. McDonald has for me. I will then begin working on my testing and results (not due until 1 June).
