  • Describe how water moves to and from the atmosphere during the water cycle.
  • Describe humidity and how it is measured.
  • Identify the common types of precipitation.
  • Describe floods and droughts and their effects.

Homeroom: MAP starts tomorrow!

What is Happening:

Monday: Today we:
  • Completed a notebook check to make sure that our notebooks are the best that they can possibly be and so that they show off our learning from this year.
