What do skeletons say before they begin dinning? BONE appétit! We are about to begin our science unit on the Human Body. During these next few weeks, we will investigate the skeleton, its functions, joints, muscles, and how muscles move bones.
We will also begin working on our first big project this year. I will be doing homework a little differently during this time so my students will not be overwhelmed with work to be completed at home. Please follow the homework assignments on the “Homework for the Stars” page. Students will only have to do what is on that page…nothing more!!! If you do have any questions, please call me at 662-2458.
This is a very inquiry based unit and I know my class is up for the challenge. Please work with them on their projects as soon as the project directions and rubric are sent home. I do expect a quality assignment!
Have a spectacular week!!!
