3rd grade has been studying the Skeletal System. By Friday, the students should know and be able to identify these bones: cranium, mandible, clavicle, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, sternum, rib cage, spine, pelvis, femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, and metatarsals. We will also learn about the different kinds of joints in the body. "Elvira Bones" (a Michael's' resin reproduction) will be visiting with the class this week...along with a real lizard skeleton. This is shaping up to be a great week...no bones about it!
