Week 3 (September 4-7)

This week had the classes staying inside due to my absence and also with the extreme heat.

First Grade
The first grade students were given a worksheet to match body parts with the bones that are underneath. The students also worked on finding physical activities that they find both enjoyable and challenging.

Third Grade
The students were given time to create their own muscles. Using a handout, they cut out the forarm, arm and muscle. Then they spent time to construct the muscle. The muscle allows students to see how the muscles shorten when being used. In our model, the bicep muscle shortens and will allow the forarm to bend upwards.

Fifth Grade
The students were given a lesson on the importance of drinking water. They were also given information about dehydration and the effects of dehydration on the body. Students also filled out a KWL chart on water consumption and dehydration.

Sixth Grade
