In this Human Body unit, students are learning about how the body works and how different body systems help us live, move, and stay healthy.
Students explore the skeletal system, learning that bones give our bodies shape, help us move, and protect important organs. They also learn about the muscular system and how muscles work with bones to help us move when they contract and relax. In addition, students discover that muscles connect to bones through tendons.
Through read-alouds, discussions, and hands-on activities, students are building vocabulary and understanding how different parts of the body work together.
As part of this unit, students will also learn how to write an opinion paragraph. They will practice sharing their ideas clearly by stating their opinion, giving reasons, and organizing their thoughts in a short paragraph.
By the end of the unit, students will better understand how the body works and will continue developing their reading, speaking, and writing skills.
During the month of March, in this unit, students continue learning about measurement, while also strengthening their understanding of numbers and problem solving.
Students begin by comparing the lengths of objects by lining them up at the same starting point. Then they learn to measure objects using small units, such as connecting cubes, paper clips, or small cubes. They practice measuring carefully so there are no gaps or overlaps between the units.
Some objects require many units to measure, which gives students practice counting larger numbers and thinking about groups of tens.
Students will also solve story problems related to length, helping them apply their measurement skills in real situations.
These 3 weeks we are going to focus on the womans’s rights and gender equity
How to be a good learner: focus, listen, talk to yourself and be assertive. We will be practicing communication skills in our morning circle!
The students are learning the lyrics of our morning songs called
“Un mundo de color".
We encourage you to practice at home!
