Science Class

Our 5th grade class began science classes this semester. The first 3 weeks we did investigations on air, gravity, and weight. Our 1st chapter will be on life science and the study of cells. We will be preparing during the semester to do a science fair project at the end of the year. More will be posted on that as the semester moves on. We are also doing mini lessons on phonics this semester. We spend about 15 minutes a day on the phonics.
