Dear Oakman Families,

Welcome back!!!  I am looking forward to another fun-filled year in Science Enrichment! I am at Oakman on Mondays and Thursdays and  I am very excited to work with your children.   Throughout the year, the students will be actively engaged in various hands-on activities while incorporating science vocabulary. The first few weeks we are settling into classroom procedures, as well as learning what science is, what scientist do, the tools they will be using, and the steps in the scientific method.

I am anticipating a very fun and engaging year as the students and I work together to explore the world of Science.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Grucz
