  • As students work through our science unit, they have shown great strides in accurately recording and demonstrating wonderful thinking and scientific drawings.. Science notebooks are a critical piece to our science studies. These notebooks integrate writing and scientific data collection and thought. Higher levels of thinking are required throughout all of our science units.  This week and next week students will be tested on the Scientific Process.

I have created a SignUp Genius page for parents to sign up for conferences; you should have also received an email with the link to the page.
