Heads, shoulders, knees and science!
First graders learn to name the outside parts of the body, from head to toes, and tell what each one helps us do. Elbows bend, knees let us jump, and hands grab and build. Then they connect body parts to the five senses: we see with our eyes, hear with our ears, smell with our nose, taste with our tongue and feel with our skin. Some classes also peek inside and learn that the heart pumps blood and our bones hold us up. The click moment is when kids realize their senses are how they learn about everything else in science.
