How We Express Ourselves
Good Vibrations- discoveries in light and sound impact the way we communicate.
- Sound and light waves affect the way we live.
- There are different types of communication devices.
- Communication connects the world.
I CAN: create sounds by using vibrations of different objects.
I CAN: identify how light effects the way we live.
Keep trying until you get 100%!

Parents-
Please be aware that the district has developed a document that provides instructional guidance for teachers and administrators during this time of extended closure. This document also outlines the district's grading procedures and can be found on the district website.
Also, Quarter 3 will be extended until June 19, though students may continue to submit work until the final day of school. While no new assignments will be given after this date, teachers will continue to instruct, connect with, and support students.
