Amber recently asked me why we had a heartbeat. Why do we have a heart? So, I decided it was time to learn about the heart and our circulatory system.
I found a great resource for learning about the heart and circulatory system. Check out this heart and circulatory system learning guide.
On that website, you will find entire curricula on the heart and circulatory system for kindergarten and grades 1 - 6. When I say entire curricula, I mean they have lesson plans on the heart and circulatory systems, and worksheets to help kids learn about the heart and circulatory system.
In this post, I'm only going to discuss the 2nd grade portion, because that's what I'll be using for Amber. But remember, if you're looking for lesson plans or worksheets on the heart and circulatory system, look here first!
The first lesson plan for second grade answers the question "What does the heart do?" This heart and circulatory system lesson plan covers exactly what the heart is for, and covers the basic anatomy of the heart.
This first heart and circulatory system lesson plan includes worksheets so your second grader can reinforce what she's learned.
The second lesson plan offered by this site covers heart healthy eating habits. This teaches kids that what they eat affects their health, and makes them realize that proper nutrition will help their heart stay healthy.
The final heart and circulatory system lesson plan teaches kids how exercise relates to a healthy heart.
In addition to these 3 heart lesson plans, the site also offers several illustrations on the circulatory system. Kids can also listen to a heartbeat!

I'm working on teaching my son how to read...and I came across these Word Wheels. Not surprisingly, I found the word wheels on Super Teacher Worksheets! I love that site!
A word wheel is 2 circles of paper (I used card stock for my word wheel) pinned together with a paper fastener. A "window" is cut out from the side of the top circle, so that you have a little view of the bottom circle. When you spin the top, you view different letters that are printed on the bottom circle.
Printed on the top circle, next to the window cut-out, are two letters, such as "at" or "it". The letters that appear through the "window" are the first letters in the word.
I know, it's hard to explain...but the battery on my camera is dead, other wise I would put a picture of my word wheel on here. I'll do that soon. ;-)
Let's say you have "at" printed on the TOP circle of your word wheel. Letters in the "window" (printed on the BOTTOM circle of your word wheel) could be "p" (p-a-t), "c" (c-a-t), or "m" (m-a-t).
The word wheel is a fun way to teach your child how to sound out words. My son loves it! Anyway, go check out the word wheels at Super Teacher Worksheets. Try them with your preschooler or kindergartner today!
