Health

The last few weeks we have been focusing on health instead of science.  We have been discussing chronic and communicable diseases.  We have gone more in depth when talking about diseases of the heart--we have learned about risk factors, how to reduce our risk of heart disease, and we'll be learning about how the blood flows throughout our body.  The kids are VERY excited to take a look at a real pig's heart and identify all the parts of the heart that we will learn about!
We will return to science shortly--we will end the school with a unit on Landforms and investigate certain concepts such as erosion and deposition.
