📕 HISTORY: Before digging deep into our unit on the Early Civilization of Americas, we learned how the first people could have probably moved to the America from Asia. We also talked about what it was like to be a hunter and a gatherer then.


 
📕 SCIENCE: We are getting closer to end our Habitats Unit. This week students learned about food chains. We discussed about producers, consumers, and decomposers. Also, we talked about herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. 

Have a good weekend!
