In Writing, students began their nonfiction unit with a mind blowing story about Phineas Gage. We studied the human brain and how it functions with its different parts.

This week we learned about the nervous system - specifically motor and sensory neurons. Students got to create their own experiments and test students and teachers. Next week we will continue learning about organ systems.

As always, reach out with any questions 🙂

We have finished our mini-unit on major cities, countries and landforms.  Students demonstrated their knowledge through a major landform project.  Next we are moving on to learning the regions and states in the US and applying what we already know about major cities and landforms to these states and their geographical regions.
