What a wonderful Wednesday! This morning we made a storyboard based on a novel excerpt. We are practicing writing step-by-step. In the afternoon we visited the science lab. It was exciting to combine our aquarium and terrarium to make an ecocolumn. We made observations and added isopods to our terrarium.
