Resolutions and Our Bodies

Interesting combination, huh?

Well, we started off the week brainstorming what our New Year's resolutions were going to be.  Bettering ourselves was the goal and I was impressed by many of the resolutions chosen.  Let's just say there should be cleaner rooms at home and less fighting between siblings :)



 


We also learned about the body this week.  We concentrated on the lungs, heart, stomach and bones.  We learned where each organ was located as well as the function of each organ.  After reading several books about the body,  we completed a cutting and pasting activity where we pasted each organ into the body correctly.  We labeled each body part to become familiar with the words and their spellings.

 
 The most exciting part of the mini unit was putting together our "Buddy Bodies."  The kids loved assembling the bodies and flipping up their faces to reveal the skull and the brain.




I predict future doctors out of this bunch!  Anatomy seems to be a class favorite.
