Science
Students have, hopefully, gained an understanding of the atmospheric factors and patterns that determine what weather conditions will occur in a particular place and time. Students are engaging in activities that will help them gain an understanding of how meteorologist predict weather using data obtained from instruments and plotted on weather maps.
We named our class tarantula this week; the students voted on names and she is now named Carlos. We will observe Carlos' characteristics and refer to them during our living organism unit.
