We are winding down our first IB unit, Me-Ology this week.  We have been discussing physical similarities and differences between us as well an emotional similarities and differences between us. We have also talked and read about the things that our bodies can do, with a special focus on the five senses.

We have talked about being balanced in our lives, and that we need to do some work, some play, some study, some sleep, etc., being sure to avoid overdoing one area at the expense of another.  We have spent a lot of time talking about how our emotional and physical differences are a part of us, and of all people.  This has led to an understanding of CARING, another attribute of our IB Learner Profile.

Our enrichment class has done several graphs showing various favorites within our class (animals, drinks, treats, etc.), highlighting again our differences and similarities.  We have gone in-depth in our study of our bodies, especially focusing on our skeletal system and circulatory system.  Scientist Suzy has presented several GREAT lessons on our nervous system and our senses,  Ms Rosanne has taught us how we can use our inherent "super powers" to assist us in self-control.

Coming up next week:  E-I-E-I-O, our unit on farms!
