A belated 'Happy New Year' to all...!
Updates:

6th is working on their Newton's Laws of Motion booklet along with our Sciencesaurus note-taking skills activity
5th is due to begin Unit C, Ch 4 Astronomy...always a favorite!!  They will write a letter to NASA and include a 'mission patch' of their design

On a personal note, many thanks for all your well-wishes, thoughts, and prayers for my new baby grand-daughter, Zara...I cannot begin to tell you how much it means to me....
