Lectura
I hope everybody enjoyed their spring break! We were so lucky to have such wonderful weather – it definitely made it extra especial. My family was able to work on our big garden project, and had a fun camping trip (at our family’s property) to celebrate Maya’s birthday! After a much needed rest, we are all fully charged and ready to make this spring term the best we possibly can!

In science, we have been studying plants vascular systems. As we continue to observe the changes and the growth of the seeds we have planted, students were assigned to read our FOSS resource Plant Vascular System and the fascinating, The Story of Maple Syrup. They were also assigned to watch the video Plant Structures and Growth. This week we will take a quiz to assess understanding of the concepts and towards the end of the week, we will be moving on to the next part of our science studies which is The Human Circulatory System.
