Museum of Science

Today we went to the Museum of Science with Mrs. Haro, Mrs. Rabito, and Mrs. Terry to watch a show at the planetarium called Exploring the Solar System. We had so much fun! Make sure to ask your child about something they learned.

Animal Track Identification (Science)

Today during science with Mrs. Haro, students worked in small groups to figure out which animals made certain tracks. The K-1 class used what they learned in the background knowledge power points to help. Make sure to ask your child about it!
