Dear Families,
Please ask your child to show you their Science Google Classroom stream. The flow is like many social media sites with the newest posts at the top and the oldest at the bottom. Please be sure to look at dates when posted. There is homework every night. Occasionally students are able to complete it in class, but they should still be willing to explain that & show it to you! Thank you! Mrs. Brooks Long
