Science
We had a gallery walk in science this week. Students visited their classmates Google Slide presentation and took notes to learn about other spiders. We are indeed spider specialists in our room.
Next week, we will be selecting an endangered living organism in Texas to learn about. We will attempt to bring awareness to its struggle and perhaps make a difference.
