Mindfulness: Learning About Body Systems

As part of Mrs. Fox's Mindfulness curriculum, 5th Graders have been learning about the interconnectedness of the human body systems. Breaking up into small research groups, the students chose a body system to study, learned how it works with the other body systems, and compared the human system to that of an animal of their choice. Both in-person and virtual students presented their research last week with slide shows and posters that featured animals such as cats, caterpillars, turtles, and more. The class was surprised to learn about all the similarities between humans and animals, particularly other mammals!
