Since we have a short week this week, I sent home a vocabulary study sheet last Friday. I will have many more copies available for your scientists throughout the week if they misplace their copy.
I addition, I have uploaded a copy here. On Friday, there will be a quiz that will include an assessment over these five words. Remember to study a little every night! We will also be using these words every day in class.
