Apologia Young Explorers: Skeletal Systems

We spent all class period learning how to name the bones in the skeletal system.  Last class, the kids had constructed paper skeletons (or this one for younger children).  The kids brought their skeletons to class.  The older children wrote the names of the bones on to post-it notes to label their respective skeletons.  I wrote the names on the board and on the post-it notes for the younger children.  The kids labeled their skeletons and the life-size one.  Then we spent time going over the names--a half hour, in fact.  Then, the kids did some copy work, matching, and crossword. I sent home the post-it notes and paper skeletons for the kids to practice at home.  See how things went!
