The Skull

This happened October during a Science lesson in Second Grade. We were talking about the body and its bones and then somebody asked if the head was a muscle or a bone. That was an easy question for me to answer... but the concept was quite hard for them to imagine. Was at that very moment when I remembered that we are blessed to have an ESO Teacher that is weird enough to own a real skull donated to science/teaching!! Second Graders were amazed by that piece and it lead us to talk about it until the school bell came in. Such a great lesson.

The Body!

Second Graders continue learning about their own body and its parts! These pictures show the process of making Lucas' silhouette and its proper labeling.  

The Muscles!

Second Graders learnt some new muscles the other day in Science class. We draw a real size kid and placed all the muscles on it so we can remember them! Per pairs, they made muscle labels and we sticked on the wall at the end of the session. 

Good Posture

Second Graders are learning a lot lately in Science! Last week we saw the differences between a good and a bad posture.  Then we all got backpacked and checked if we were doing it right or wrong. Such a lovely lesson that day. 

Science!

This year I am fortunate enough to teach Science to Second Graders! This are the pictures of our two first lessons. We are learning about our body and the three main parts to divide it: Head, Trunk and Limbs.

One classmate (chose at random) laid on the floor and the rest drew the silhouette to have a real scale human body. Then we wrote the name of the parts and stuck them on the wall. Such a great lesson.
