Miss Farney's Helpful Hints & Classroom Announcements
April 7th - April 11th
This week we will be starting a Wonderful Worms - Inquiry Science Unit. I will be introducing a Worm Observation Station and a Compost Bin to our class! Students will begin learning about the importance of worms and how to compost. This unit will be interdisciplinary and will cover many subjects such as; Reading, Writing, Language Arts, Science, and Math. I feel like this unit will be the perfect addition to our school day with the extended time we have been granted. Please continue to encourage your students to share with you what they have been learning in school. The students and I are both very excited and looking forward to this Wonderful Worms Unit!
