What We Learned This Week
In science this week, we learned how to use a Punnett Square to predict the physical characteristics of offspring. We reviewed the four types of asexual reproduction: regeneration, budding, vegetative propagation, and binary fission.
What's Coming Up Next Week
When we return from winter break, we will start a unit about Ancient Civilizations in Social Studies.
How to Support Learning at Home
Please encourage your child to read 20 minutes each day to build stamina, to increase vocabulary, and strengthen comprehension .
