Welcome Honey Bees!
Each week will enjoy a challenging and engaging science lesson together. The first half the year we will explore lessons created by PBS Learning Media and the second part of the year we will work from Generation Genius Curriculum. To keep things fresh we will sprinkle in outside lessons from https://www.ports-ca.us/, https://ltwc.org/, and others. Reflect in your science journals.
