Health
Our first grade class recently began a health unit encompassing lessons on the outside and inside of the body as well as our 5 senses. Literature, exploration and discussion are great tools from which we are learning some new ideas. It has been so fun discussing physical traits (birthmarks, dimples, clefts, freckles, hair color and skin color etc.) that make us different from others or sometimes the same as someone in our family!
(We began by listening to our hearts with a stethoscope and feeling our pulse in our wrists.)

Using our Sense of Smell:
Miss Biedl has been teaching us all about our sense of smell. She has been teaching us the importance of this sense and how it can keep us safe. We even tested out our noses in a "Guess What You Smell" game!
We Are Unique!
As a part of our discussions about what makes us different from others we used mirrors to help us create self portraits. They turned out beautiful! The students did a great job including freckles, dimples, hairstyles and colors, rosy cheeks and other wonderful characteristics that make us stand out as individuals. Here are a few pictures of these portraits!
