This year, 4th grade students are scheduled to receive two Science classes a week.
===My teaching style is to provide an environment where students are able to experience and reflect on Science topics. This is accomplished through hands-on activities with products as well as formal instruction practices.=== ===All graded activities and quizzes will be found in your child's Science Journal for your review. The Science Journal is free to take home to show to parents but must be returned to school during Science class.===
