Science
I can identify and illustrate that living organisms depend on each other through food chains.
I can identify the external structures of different animals.
I can compare how structures help different animals live, move, and meet their basic needs.
I can observe and describe basic life cycles of animals.
Social Studies
Please remember to pack your child a healthy and mess free snack each day.
Did you know that a snack at the right time between meals can prevent major hunger pangs and gives a child an energy boost to keep him or her studying and playing hard at school?
