Hey there!
Congrats to our class for winning the Friday Cambridge Cougar Pride Contest! AGAIN!!
Last week we enjoyed watching our Bean plants grow like weeds and learning about local plants right here in our community. The kiddos now know what a Palo Verde tree and a Mexican Bird of Paradise plant look like. Make sure you ask them about it the next time you are out and about in nature.
This week is going to be a little bit different...
This week is the start of our becoming experts on the country, Austraila.
Today we learned about the Great Barrier Reef (ocean animals) and made 3D maps!
