Social Studies

The emphasis is mostly on language arts and math. However, I will be throwing in some Science and Social Studies. There won't be much each week, but a couple links to videos for Mystery Science and some videos for Social Studies.

For Science I will post mostly mini lessons. Other times, I will post a full lesson - but I will make sure that it is easy for you to do from home.
