This week we are doing lots of different things.
One class of 5th graders are studying the respiratory system and will begin moving into the circulatory system next week.These two systems work together to deliver oxygen to all of the cells in the body and take away the carbon dioxide.
4th grade is continuing to study the digestive system and 2 classes are demonstrating it. Catch the video (when I finally figure out how to get it there--hehehehe).
3rd grade is finding out how to conserve our natural resources. We watched a video I borrowed from the Idaho Power lending library.
2nd grade is investigating the properties of liquids. Last week we created properties of solids.
1st grade is beginning to learn about seasons. We started with a video from Reading Rainbow Summer. It shows us properties of each of the seasons. Ask your student if winter looks and feels the same everywhere. Also ask them how cranberries are harvested. It is very interesting and different from the way we see crops harvested.
Friday I have a whole new set of classes and we will begin with scientific method and elephant toothpaste!
