Making Connections Monday

Today we are connecting the dots. We read The Girl Who Loved Spiders,  and were able to make some connections between this character's fear of the unknown and the racial tensions in Maniac Magee.    After recess, we will be talking about energy connections, and how electricity travels in a path called a circuit. Today's lesson is all about Conductors and Insulators.
