Awesome Discovery!!!

Great Start

We are off to a great start!! I am so blessed to have such a great group of students this year! So far they are super engaged, respectful, and full of positive, happy energy!

We have spent the past week learning about science in general, the world of science and how to observe, doing observations in the field, learning about the scientific method, variables, how to conduct a great experiment, how it is okay to be wrong and fail.. that is how we learn. As you can see we have been busy! We are getting ready to do our first lab as a class in the next 2 days and I cannot wait for you to see what we do and our results!

Some pics from our day observing out in the field 🌼🌼

Have a great day!
