Teaching the kids about Early Humans is something I have been anticipating. As I read through their history books and re-called projects my sixth grade teacher made us create, my wheels started to turn. A few years ago while I was in student teaching, I taught the kids about our body's bones. We created skeletons make out of different shaped pasta pieces. Who knew this idea would make it's way back in my mind.
Using pasta pieces, we re-created the famous Australopithecus, Lucy. This kids had a blast learning about this 3.4 million year Hominid and enjoyed building her skeleton. A successful lesson always makes for a happy Monday!
