Hello parents and welcome to my blog. I am doing this blog so that you can catch up on what your child has learned from each day or week. Feel free to post a comment about any questions you may have over the homework assigned for your child.
This week, your children have been learning about the digestive system and the body parts that help this system go smoothly. On Monday we watched a Magic School Bus video on the digestive system which can be easily found at your local library or on YouTube. We had then learned about the food pyramid or plate and that we need to eat each category to live a healthy life on Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday in class, we had dissected frogs online and studied how food traveled through it. Lastly, on Friday we had a test over the digestive system and the graded test should be in your child's take home folder.
Below are a few questions you could ask your child about the digestive system.
1. Which category of the food pyramid or plate should you consume more of?
a) grains or b) dairy
2. Which comes first in the digestive system?
a) small intestine b) large intestine c) capillaries
3. List where each food item belongs in the food pyramid or plate.
a) Cream cheese
b) Strawberries
c) Salmon
d) Croissant
Again if you have any questions regarding homework or want to share an idea for a lesson that I could incorporate feel free to post a comment! I look forward to seeing your children on class on Tuesday. Enjoy the three day weekend!
