We have started our Population Dynamics unit in Science. Students are learning about how plants, animals, and organisms interact within the environment. Students got to create their own vocabulary review board games last week to put to the test all of the vocabulary and concepts they have learned so far in the unit. We began our book study on "City of Ember" this week. Students are getting the opportunity to read this very interesting and exciting book that relates directly to what we've been learning.
