School Activities

I love the fact that we get weekly emails and pictures from the boys teachers letting us know what is going on for the week. They usually let us know what new activities have been introduced, what the letter of the week is, and anything else we may find interesting. This month, both of the boys classes are focusing on all the bones in the skeletal structure (which is appropriate to introduce at Halloween). Here's a quote from each of the boys teachers - do you know what half these bones are (I know I don't)?? Apparently, Connor and Brady will be able to tell us if they are paying attention.

Connor's Teacher: "The bones we are learning from head to toe (and the order of the skeleton song) are Skull, mandible, vertebrae, clavicle, clavicle, scapula, scapula, humerus, humerus, radius, radius, ulna, ulna, carpals, phalanges. Sternum, ribcage, pelvis, coccis, femur, femur, patella, patella. Tibia, tibia, fibula, fibula, metatarsals, metatarsals, phalanges, and that's our skeleton."

Brady's Teacher: "Before the end of the month, the children will have been presented the names of every bone in the body. We will even learn the names of our teeth and the malleus, incus and stapes. (Those small bones in the inner ear.)"

Here are a few pictures of how they spend their day...
