Science & Social Studies Miss Meyer
Learning is Fun!
Hi! I am Miss Meyer! My goal is to provide my students with interactive and engaging learning experiences. I want them to relate the concepts I teach to the real world and their everyday lives. I can't wait to see all of the growth my students will have this year and I hope that I can inspire them to become lifelong learners!
The Week of 4/10-4/14:
Science: Unit 12
These next few weeks we are learning about life Cycles! Last week we welcomed our mealworms and are going to be keeping a close eye on them as they go through each stage of thier life cycle!
Social Studies: Unit 7
This year we will be studying Texas history.
We have just started talking about the important role Texas played in WWII.
REMINDERS:
If you plan on volunteering this year, our district does require you have a VOLY application to pre-approve background checks. It is a quick and easy process! Let me know if you have any questions. :)
