This will happen every Tuesday and students will rotate from one core subject to another every 2 weeks.  In science, I will be providing enrichment STEM lessons for all learners on&nbsp;Target&nbsp;Tuesdays&nbsp;focusing on NGSS science process skills.  I will also use these 40 minute sessions to strengthen students&#8217; critical writing using C-E-R-E-R-C . <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In our science classroom&#8230;..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Last week (11\/4 to 11\/8)&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li> We completed 2 science labs to explore how water moves differently in each state of matter (solid, liquid and gas). <\/li><li> The first lab assigned students to sort and identify multiple items into solid, liquid or gas.
