After learning about the skeletal system, third grade students in Ms. Mansukhani's class explored a hands-on mystery bone lab on Tuesday, 9/24. They were presented with six different bones and needed to figure out what each bone was and what animal it came from. "I wish everyone could have heard the amazing collaboration and discussions I heard today! Students used critical thinking skills and what they’ve learned to decide what bone they thought each one was," said Mansukhani. "The best part was literally seeing the excitement for learning on their faces. I’m so thankful to be surround by a community who values learning and supports my classroom!"

We are glad our bone sleuths used critical thinking to solve the mystery. Great job, third graders!
