9/15/14 Start of New Week

Room 312 had a productive day back at school today. The class as a whole is doing a great job in social studies where we are in the process of completing a mini lesson on the California Gold Rush. This will be the jumping of point that is introducing us to some key geography terms that we will need to have as part of our vocabulary in upcoming units.

Tomorrow, we hope to have a slideshow for the entire fifth grade concerning the eagerly anticipated science camp.
