Younger siblings may come home with these on Thursday. 

Integrated English Language Arts & Health Study

This integrated unit synthesizes a number of the skills we’ve learned this year.  As a group, we will read about basic body systems.  Then, students  will choose a topic for further study.  For our English Language Arts requirements, students will read non-fiction, take notes about main ideas and details, and do an oral presentation to the class.  For their 2-3 minute presentations, students will be creating a 5-7 Keynote slide presentation to go along with their speech.  

Not only will students be reading and writing about the human body, but we’re integrating some some scientific exploration and French, too. Today, for example, students graphed their heart rates while resting, walking, and jumping rope.  Tomorrow, as part of our discussion of nutrition & digestion, they’ll be learning about the food groups in French and will be learning a game called “Les sept familles”  based on the food groups.

In addition, we will have four medical professionals come talk to the class about their jobs. Thank you to Dr. Sim, Dr. Cadaret,  Alice Webb, and Dr. Chris Webb for offering to visit our classes over the next few weeks.
