Q's Body Works

"the insides"
"explaining how the brain works"
the final project of the "outsides"


Q has been working on a project at school to understand the "how" and the "why" our bodies are put together the way we are. The first adventure was to paint a life-sized version of his outsides. Before they began painting they examined their features in the mirror. Q noted his brown hair and grey green eyes. Also, during this time they have been talking about the 5 senses and what he likes and dislikes. We know he likes the taste of mac and cheese (he'd eat it everyday if we'd let him), he dislikes the smell of Sloan's poop......, he likes to have the movie, or the Wii up really really loud (so no problemo with hearing) and he even created his name in braille to understand how the blind absorb life around them.

Next, they constructed a working model of the insides. It is so cool! They talked about the message center with the brain and the nerves and then went on to the different bones and how they function. Lastly, the food and the breathing centers were added.

I just had to share because what a great learning experience for Q and so fun too! He continues to talk about specific parts of the body and their functions on random occasions. I am so proud of him and all of his learnings.

Q, cannot wait to see what's next? Beary bear???? To be continued....
