'My Body' Project

 We went along with the CC guide for weeks 6-12 of Cycle 3 and did the 'My Body' Project. This has been one of the most exciting things we have done. The girls LOVED it, and week in and week out asked to do this. We changed it up a little from the CC recommendation. We started by actually tracing their own bodies on big paper and then week by week added the innards!
 The book has very simple explanations about the parts and what they do and how it all comes together. We did about two-three a week, colored them in accordingly and pasted them on. For those that overlap we used brads to attach, or glued part way.
 The last day we did the face, and partly glued it so we could still see the brain.
I highly recommend this book and project as a great intro to anatomy/physiology.
Go HERE to see the book I am talking about.
