Guided Reading

The students have been learning a lot about bones, muscles and body systems.  Below are some of the things students wrote and learned so far in this unit.

If each of your fingers only contained one bone we wouldn't be able to move our fingers in certain directions or grab or pick up things because you wouldn't have enough joints.   Josephe and Maddie

  1. What is a skeleton? A skeleton is 206 bones starting at the top of your skull and ending at your toe bones.
What is a skeletons  job? A skeleton's job
is to keep us in one shape, hold our organs, and to make blood cells. Ambrosia and Kylie

Muscles are things all over your body that helps you move your body. There are three types of muscles Cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscles. Cardiac and smooth muscles are involuntary. That means they move on their own! Some involuntary muscles are, The heart, Our stomach, and our organs! Skeletal muscles are connected to our skeleton and are voluntary.Voluntary muscles are muscles that your brain has to send a signal to move your arms, legs, etc. There are many different muscles in our body!
Logan and Joey

Some of our parts of our bodies are called systems because they work together to keep us alive. Elexus, Sophia, Mateo and Caulden


Bones are important because we need them to move around and they help you pick up  toys and spoons.Also bones protect your heart and lungs, bones protect your brain.Inside the bones bone marrow make blood cells.That is why bones are very important to humans. Julian and Tifa

11.  It is important for involuntary muscles to work on their own.  It is important because if you had to tell your heart to pump you would never get any sleep or be able to eat or drink.                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
12.  It is important to keep your muscles strong especially your cardiac muscle.  It is important because if you don’t keep your muscles strong you won’t be able to do much and you will be lazy or a couch potato.   Allie and Joel
