1st grade and the Human Body!

First Graders at RAE just finished an awesome Health & Body Structures unit of study in Science.  The students learned about the brain, heart, lungs, and stomach.  This unit is always fun and interesting for the students, but this year it was even better.  Mrs. Nguyen and Mrs. Buller went to some professional development sessions over the summer and brought back some new and exciting ideas to RAE.  One was a paper bag vest project for the Health & Body Structures Unit.  Students brought in paper bag vests made at home.  In class, they used paper towel rolls with a baggies at the end (trachea/diaphragm), baggies with straws (lungs), and a pink paper heart to create a model of the respiratory system.  They were so engaged while creating the model and so excited to put it on later in the day when all the glue was dry.  It was a very memorable learning experience for all!
