In Closing Can we make a One-Pager capturing the order of content focus of studies (topics) for each grade level? If your group can lay out the concerns based on anticipated learning tasks for each nine-weeks, Michael will work to create an Elementary Science Safety Newsletter. This could be used for school based science safety meetings. Other thoughts?
