Today we continued our health unit on puberty. Today we read a story about a person named Chris who was going through noticeable changes. Based on the changes Chris described (acne, getting taller, voice changes, body odor, hair under the arms and romantic feelings) we had to decide whether Chris was a girl or boy. We were very split in our decision. We then were given different body changes (using the specific and correct terms for body parts), relationship changes and thought changes that boys, girls and both go through. We had to sort these changes and then discussed. We then reviewed Chris's story again and decided that Chris could have been a boy or girl.
Today in math we started looking at how to tell time on an analog clock. We reviewed the hour hand, minute hand, how each number on a clock shows 5 minutes, half past, quarter past and quarter to. We also practiced writing a digital time on an analog clock. We will continue to practice these skills as the week goes on.
Today was our last Pillars of Care awards. Congratulations to all the winners!
