Hailey's mom was our parent reader on Friday afternoon. This is definitely a highlight of the week for the children. Thank you ALL for modeling the love of reading with our class!
This week we began learning about the brain in our Human Body science unit. On Thursday, Lisa Peck, our favorite UD science teacher, brought real sheep brains to the Science Resource Center to share with us! We learned how the central nervous system works throughout our body. As a first grader, we have full size human brains which weigh about 3 pounds! Our brain communicates with every cell of our body. The human body is amazing!
