The month of November brings to Holmes our District 97 HEARTLAND ADVENTURE. That's right for the entire month of November the boys and girls here at Holmes will be rolling, jumping, running and gliding through one of the most fun filled activities of the school year.
The heartland adventure activity is designed to take those participating on an all out tour of our respiratory and cirulatory systems. The students while going through the adventure learn the names of the parts of the respiratory system (right atrium, tricupid valve, right venticle, etc.) that are responible for carrying oxygen throughout our bodies as well as learn the parts of the cirulatory system (left atrium, mitral valve, left ventricle, aortic valve, etc.) that are responsible for carrying blood throughout our bodies.
The students here at Holmes love this district activity. The kids actually become the air and blood flowing and travelling throughout the air and blood passageways. This activity also exposes them to just how hard our interior body parts and organs work for us and why it is very important to love our interior perhaps a little more than our exterior.
Parents should your child come home having misunderstood any concepts and/or examples given pertaining to the Heartland experience, please try to discern their understanding and explain correctly what your child may be attempting to share or call or email me directly for clarity.
Any questions or concerning about the HEARTLAND ADVENTURE, please feel free to contact me.
