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!
