Each group will be given a disorder dealing with a gland of the Endocrine System. Students have a handout guiding them as to what infomation needs to be included in the presentation. Students will have Tuesday-Friday in class to work on this project. This should not require meetings at home or stress for parents!! As 5th graders, we are looking for the most basic information about the disorder. If you have any questions, please let me know.
