In the spirit of our human body unit where we are learning about the skeletal system right now, we did a really fun activity this afternoon! Each of the students had their body outline traced on a large piece of paper. This was quite a giggle-fest, I have to say! Something about the pencil and just the idea of a classmate tracing their body was just about more than some of us could handle! I don't think I have heard this much giggling in a LONG time! :)
Once we got past the tracing (and the giggling!) the students started drawing their bones on the skeletons. Some people realized how hard it is to take the bones on a picture and transfer them to be life-sized! :) Some people started out with teeny-tiny heads and ribs and quickly realized that it was not going to fill up their bodies. :)
I am pretty happy with how things are turning out so far! We are going to finish them tomorrow and label each of the major bones in the body. The class is doing really well so far with memorizing the names of these bones. I am very impressed! I will post pictures of the finished products so everyone can see our beautiful skeletons!
Thank you for those people who submitted book orders! Tomorrow is PE so make sure you have your PE shoes at school. See you all tomorrow morning on time! :)
