Doctors and Nurses in Ganon Aleph

As a follow-up to our study of the human body, two of our Ganon Aleph parents who are in the medical field came
 to talk to our class.  Julia's dad, Dr. Barr,came to talk to the children about their bones. He showed us a model of a skeleton, a knee cap, and 
some x-rays.







Moshe's mom came in to talk about her work as a nurse.  She showed the children how to measure their blood pressure, and made a special chart for us to keep in our  classroom.
We love when parents come to visit us in Ganon Aleph!  

Ganon Bet Learns About Their Bodies

In our discussion of the human body this week, we learned that our body is made up of cells. Our bodies are covered by skin, epidermis. Our skin can be light or dark. Inside our bodies we have a skeleton which is made up of many large and small bones. Our skeleton gives our body shape. Without our skeleton we would collapse like a rag doll. We also learned that our muscles are like rubber bands. They stretch and pull our bones up and down.We experimented with rubber bands to demonstrate the concept of how our muscles actually work.
