We're learning all about cells...

Hopefully, you read the newsletter with your parents this week. If you did, you learned that our new unit on cells is going to begin on Wednesday. I am so excited for this unit; cells are one of my favorite things to learn about. Some of you were a little confused when I mentioned cells in class today. I'm not talking about jail cells like the picture above. I'm talking about cells that are much, much smaller. We will have the opportunity to take a closer look at some at the end of the week, using a microscope. Between now and then, if you are wanting to do a little research on your own, take a look at this site. Also, if you scroll down to the bottom it links you to a really cool site called Cells Alive, where you can click on each part of the cell to learn about its function within the cell. As always, if you take a look, be sure to leave a comment and let me know what you think!
