ALL HALLOW'S EVE MAGAZINE

The project that has been planned for this Halloween is the edition of a magazine about "All-Hallow's Eve", which is the original Irish tradition that now is called "Halloween".

Each grade will prepare thier own magazine and these editions will be presented to the primary section on Wednesday, October 29th. There will also be an exhibition for the parents on Thursday, October 30th.

All of the project will be prepared in the classroom with the Spanish and English teachers. The materials we will be using are: color paper, old magazines that we can cut out, markers, card board for the covers, glue, scissors, and the content material that is assigned to your team. Remember that the objective is to investigate and share the historical origins of this tradition. Forget about horror presented in Hollywood films!!

There will be several sections: We will need a front and a back cover pages. A table of contents, an introductory article or presentation. An article comparing All-Hallow's Eve with Hanal-Pixan, legends and stories that tell about All-Hallow's Eve, word games, illustrations, cartoons, amazing facts, poems, coloring pages, crafts, receipes, etc. It is very important that every body participates!

We will start investigating about this on Thursday, October 23 in Computer Lab class. Here are some links we can check:

The Circulatory System

We are learning now about the circulatory system. It is responsible for the distribution of the nutrients provided by the digestive system and the oxygen we get through the respiratory system. All of our body systems work together to keep us alive!!! Our body is just amazing!

Watch a video which shows how our heart works. Everything starts on the right side of the heart, blood coming from all the body gets into the right chambers of the heart. This blood has CARBON DIOXIDE, a waste product.

The job of your heart is to pump blood through your body. Even in your sleep, your heart keeps beating, or pumping blood. If it stopped, you would quickly die. Your heart is divided into two sides separated by a septum. The left side of your heart is filled with oxygen-rich blood, while the right side of your heart is filled with oxygen-poor blood. Each side of your heart is further broken into two chambers known as the atrium and the ventricle. Each side of the heart has an atrium and a ventricle for a total of four chambers.

Watch the video and observe how your heart works:
