These are the Zoom meetings this week. Please see details in Google Classroom. If your child is not able to make it to their assigned group, they are welcome to join any other group, I don’t want anybody to miss their small group work because of this reason. They are also welcome to stay and be present at the the meeting if they feel like they need extra practice or further clarification of assignments. Rotations run for 25 minutes starting at 2:00. Please note that this week we have new groups, that way we can have all students work with each other in small groups.

Ciencias

For the next chapters during our science time, we will be studying the human’s circulatory and respiratory systems. Students will see a video showing how blood is delivered to every human cell by a system of vessels connected to a pump, the heart. They read about the structures inside the human heart.  Students will study the structures and functions of the interacting parts of the respiratory system, learning about the acquisition and distribution of oxygen, and the process of waste removal.
