We continued with our immune system, given that we are in a high Flu season and still crossing the covid pandemic. Students learned that we have and army of defenses, with two types of cells: lymphocytes and phagocytes, that protect our bodies from germs, bacteria, viruses, fungi, and more.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"fsImage fsStateFloatRight\" style=\"float:right\"><picture><img alt=\"\" data-image-sizes=\"[{%22url%22:%22https:\/\/resources.finalsite.net\/images\/f_auto,q_auto,t_image_size_1\/v1668527321\/rochestereduco\/wci82o0ohue855au98s9\/Incredible-Me.jpg%22,%22width%22:256},{%22url%22:%22https:\/\/resources.finalsite.net\/images\/f_auto,q_auto,t_image_size_2\/v1668527321\/rochestereduco\/wci82o0ohue855au98s9\/Incredible-Me.jpg%22,%22width%22:512},{%22url%22:%22https:\/\/resources.finalsite.net\/images\/f_auto,q_auto,t_image_size_3\/v1668527321\/rochestereduco\/wci82o0ohue855au98s9\/Incredible-Me.jpg%22,%22width%22:800},{%22url%22:%22https:\/\/resources.finalsite.net\/images\/f_auto,q_auto,t_image_size_4\/v1668527321\/rochestereduco\/wci82o0ohue855au98s9\/Incredible-Me.jpg%22,%22width%22:1200},{%22url%22:%22https:\/\/resources.finalsite.net\/images\/f_auto,q_auto,t_image_size_5\/v1668527321\/rochestereduco\/wci82o0ohue855au98s9\/Incredible-Me.jpg%22,%22width%22:1600},{%22url%22:%22https:\/\/resources.finalsite.net\/images\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1668527321\/rochestereduco\/wci82o0ohue855au98s9\/Incredible-Me.jpg%22,%22width%22:2000}]\" data-resource-description=\"\" data-resource-filename=\"Incredible-Me.jpg\" data-resource-uuid=\"71d0b786-868a-4577-a3ac-1914a7048a07\" id=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\" style=\"margin: 40px;\" width=\"300\" \/><\/picture><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In October students learned about the Skeletal System. They now understand that we all have a skeleton, that we have 206 bones, and that each bone has a name. They are now able to identify bones such as cranium, clavicle, humerus, pelvis, vertebrae as part of the backbone, femur, tibia, and more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On Fridays, during our Project session, all three kindergarten students gather at the shared classroom along with their grade teachers. Every week, 1 o 2 teachers take the lead and prepare an activity related to each topic. They are accompanied and supported by the rest of the team. We had Olga Margarita and Sandra Salcedo leading a literature and music activity related to our names. Students shared the stories behind their names and played composing and decomposing them. Camila read a story about protecting our bodies against germs, and we discussed some of the healthy routines required in school and at home to keep Covid at bay. Wilson, Jorge and Erika, created an activity where students recreated the immune system; some became viruses, others where health boosters such as vaccines, and other were infected by the virus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The past two weeks we have been working to create our own version of the Skeleton Dance. We wanted a song that was fun and that helped students learn the names of the bones, but since we couldn\u2019t find one, we decided to make our own adaptation to fit our purpose. Our goal is to create a complete audiovisual production where students can sing and dance our version of the skeleton dance, and use green screen technology. Currently, students are able to name, locate, and label the most important bones in our bodies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We will continue exploring the different systems, and our next stop will be the muscular system! We hope to get a lot of input from families and other health experts in our community in order to enrich our project and meet our goal.

Continuamos con nuestro sistema inmune, dado a que estamos atravesando un pico de enfermedades respiratorias y a\u00fan estamos batallando la pandemia del Covid. Los estudiantes aprendieron que tenemos un ejercito de defensas, con dos tipos de c\u00e9lulas: linfocitos y fagocitos, que protegen a nuestro cuerpo de g\u00e9rmenes, bacterias, virus, hongos y m\u00e1s.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">En Octubre los estudiantes aprendieron sobre el Sistema Esquel\u00e9tico. Ellos ahora comprenden que tenemos un esqueleto que cuenta con 206 huesos, y que cada hueso tiene un nombre. Los ni\u00f1os ahora pueden identificar huesos como el cr\u00e1neo, clav\u00edcula, humero, pelvis, vertebra como parte de la columna vertebral, femur, tibia, y m\u00e1s.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Durante nuestra sesi\u00f3n de proyecto de los viernes, todos los estudiantes de los tres grupos de jard\u00edn se re\u00fanen en el aula compartida junto a todos los profesores de su grado. Cada semana 1 o 2 profesores preparan y lideran una actividad relacionada con cada tema. Contamos con Olga Margarita y a Sandra Salcedo quienes lideraron una actividad de literatura y m\u00fasica relacionada con los nombres. Los ni\u00f1os compartieron las historias de por qu\u00e9 se llaman como lo hacen y jugaron componiendo y descomponiendo sus nombres. Camila ley\u00f3 un cuento sobre lo que debemos hacer para proteger a nuestros cuerpos contra los g\u00e9rmenes, y discutimos algunas de las rutinas necesarias en el colegio y en casa para mantenernos alejados del covid. Wilson, Jorge y Erika dise\u00f1aron una actividad en la que los estudiantes recrearon al sistema inmune, algunos convirti\u00e9ndose en virus, mientras que otros fueron protectores de la salud como las vacunas, y otros los pacientes infectados.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">En las pasadas semanas, hemos venido trabajando en la creaci\u00f3n de nuestra propia versi\u00f3n del Skeleton Dance. Quer\u00edamos una canci\u00f3n que fuera divertida y que le ayudara a los estudiantes a aprenderse los nombres de los huesos, pero como no encontramos ninguna que cumpliera con nuestras necesidades decidimos crear nuestra propia versi\u00f3n de dicha canci\u00f3n y as\u00ed lograr nuestro objetivo. Tenemos como meta crear una producci\u00f3n audiovisual completa en la que los ni\u00f1os canten y bailen el Skeleton Dance, usando la tecnolog\u00eda de pantalla verde y as\u00ed lograr algunos efectos especiales. Actualmente los estudiantes de jard\u00edn logran nombrar, ubicar y rotular los huesos m\u00e1s importantes del cuerpo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Continuaremos explorando los diferentes sistemas \u00a1Nuestra pr\u00f3xima parada ser\u00e1n los m\u00fasculos!
