Boy Were We Wrong About the Human Body by Kathleen V. Kudlinski and Debbie Tilley

Recommended for ages 5+

Summary

People in ancient times healed and treated the body very differently from modern day doctors. Doctors in China used pressure points and this has now developed into acupuncture! In Greece, people thought light shot out of our eyes but now we know that there’s light coming in. Ancient Persians thought our bones were made of Earth but now we know bones are made out of calcium, vitamins, minerals, and more! We now know that DNA can tell us many things about ourselves and we continue to learn about the body everyday!

Video Instructions

Video #1: For a more in depth understanding of the books, we have provided a video retelling an in-class story. Each pass through the text or illustrations allows students to dive deeper into the story’s meaning, preparing them for more complex narratives down the road.

Video #2 & Worksheet: Parents may print the worksheet corresponding to the story. In the second video, Ms Liann will guide students through completing the worksheet. Younger students will learn the appropriate sizes, shapes, and sounds of letters. Older students will learn the spelling of new words, helpful phonics rules, and how to write in complete sentences.
