The fourth grade students are off to a terrific start. In science the fourth graders have been studying the Human Body. We were able to take apart an owl-pellet and see what was inside. Then we put the bones together and found out what kind of small animal the owls had eaten. It was stinky, but lots of fun. We used our joints in different ways to observe how an immobilized or stiff joint can affect everyday activities. We will soon be learning about our muscles and finally our coordination of eyes to hands and eyes to feet. The Human Body has been fascinating for all.
We are coming upon our first field trip to Living History Farms. We will be taking a walking tour of the farms and learning to understand historical patterns, periods of time, and the relationships among these elements. Questions we will ask would be how did towns in Iowa develop? Why did certain businesses appear before others? What does the blacksmith do for the people who would live in and around the town of Walnut Hill? LHF is a fun learning experience for everyone.
