We had a busy week learning about different parts of the human body and reviewing important current events. Here are some of the things we've been doing:
Unit of Inquiry (UoI)
Human body! Students traced themselves and made a life-size human body. They included all the organs and wrote facts about each one. Caught up in what they were doing, students included extra details such as examples of bones from the skeletal system or lymph vessels from the lymphatic system. They wanted to add as much information as they could! We had a lot of fun creating our humans and learned a lot along the way.
English
Current events and communication. We have been talking about the different methods of communication and applying it to some issues in the news. Some breakthrough technology has enabled scientists to take the first photograph of a black hole using satellites. Students are also discussing and researching the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France. Videos, articles, internet, and word of mouth are just a few methods of communicating news and information across the world.
Here are some pictures from class last week. More to come soon!
