SCIENCE 2 - We finished the unit on the body by reviewing the digestive and excretory systems. We learned about the food pyramid - they have a handout in their folders that you can cut out and have them fold into a pyramid (I didn't do it in class so it wouldn't get crushed). We took the unit assessment and they did very well. Make sure the next unit handouts are in their folder for January.
HISTORY 2 - We learned about Ibn Sinah - a famous Islamic doctor who wrote a book about the history of medicine that was used for hundreds of years in Europe. It was in interesting story and they really got into it. Ibn also wrote a book called "Book of Healing" and it was an encyclopedia of music, science, astronomy and mathematics. We made books in class about what they know about different subjects - David's is on how to avoid getting a cold, Isaac's is on how to care for a cut and Holden's is on what foods to eat to be healthy. They did a great job, check them out. We also did the lesson on Scheherezade and they enjoyed it but that was as much as I could get done on this crazy last day of school! We'll finish up this first semester during the first week of school in January.
Merry Christmas everyone! love, Rachelle
