This movie focuses on the human body and fighting viruses. We are sending home a permission form with your child on Monday. If your child can NOT watch the video please send the permission form back to us by Thursday. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Mrs. Campbell In this final week before Spring Break, we will finish out study of the human body organ systems. Wednesday the students will have an exam and turn in their summative journal entries covering the purpose of the major systems and how they serve the needs of the cells for oxygen, food and waste removal. They have been working on the journal entries since last week. As a cumulating activity of this unit we will view the movie Osmosis Jones. This movie reinforces the idea that systems work together to bring oxygen and food to the cells and to remove wastes.
