Shorecrest first graders have begun an in-depth study of the human body. This week, students engaged in learning about the hardest part of a body – the skeleton. Upper School Anatomy teacher, Lisa Peck, visited along with her friend, “Seymour Bones.” Seymour is an actual human skeleton!
Did you know that the bones in our skeleton make blood? That is just one of the four main functions of the human skeleton. It also works to give us support when standing or sitting so that we aren’t just blobs. The skeleton also protects soft organs inside bodies. Did you know that an adult human has 206 bones in their skeleton? Children have about 300 bones at birth!
In addition, Mrs. Peck brought a life-size disarticulated skeleton, which the children are having fun trying to correctly assemble.
Sharing expert faculty across divisions for special lessons is one of the many benefits of a preschool through 12th grade school like Shorecrest.
