S c ie n c e What kinds of plants live and grow in the rainforest? What is an ecosystem?
I hope you all had a terrific four-day weekend! This week we will be starting our rainforest research using Google kits. Although we will be spending time in the computer lab, you can access these kits at our class blog www.wethinkschooliscool.blogspot.com
