Science and Social Studies

We have made the decision to continue right through with our Science units and hold off on starting Social Studies until 3rd quarter. 

Quarter 2 - Science (Electricity and Magnetism) 

Quarter 3 and 4 - Social Studies (States and Capitals, 5 regions of U.S., immigration)

There will be no Social Studies grades on Quarter 1 and Quarter 2 report cards.
