California Climate and More!

Howdy folks!

Today's was a pretty swell day! We started the day off reviewing latitude/longitude and natural resources! Students then headed off to P.E. and when they came back, we got down with more Social Studies!

We focused a lot on California climate today, discussing how elevation and regional aspects affect the climate of our state! We created a tree map that included vocabulary and we applied 21st Century Skills ( Collaboration, Critical Thinking, and Communication) by working in units and going over review questions!
