Focus:
Students will be familiar with the relationship between senses and movement—that most of the time when they move a body part, that movement is initiated or guided by their senses. What they may not be familiar with are the changes that movement brings about in the circulatory and respiratory systems in the body. With every movement, the circulatory and respiratory systems of the human body will respond to supply the body with oxygen and other nutrients.
In this unit, students will consider the respiratory and circulatory systems and the role those systems play in our daily lives. The circulatory system will move blood and oxygen through the bloodstream, where blood and oxygen are needed. The respiratory system will exchange the oxygen for the waste product carbon dioxide.
Students will also build on their understanding from previous grades about human body structures and their functions.
Vocabulary: breathe • heartbeat • carbon dioxide • oxygen • respiration • respiratory system • lung
- blood • blood vessel • circulation • circulatory system • heart • pulse • aorta • atrium • ventricle • plasma • red blood cells • white blood cells • diet • exercise • health • health technology • nonfiction • informational text

Meet Mrs. Telarico
Welcome to 4th Grade Room 219! My name is Joni Telarico and I will be your student's teacher for the 2025 -2026 school year! This is my second year teaching fourth grade and my twentieth year teaching. This is my tenth year of teaching at Aspen View Academy.
I am originally from Pennsylvania, but my family has lived here in Castle Rock for the past ten years. I have been married to my husband Mike for 31 years and I have two sons. Matt is 23 and works in Pittsburgh as an engineer, and Cameron is 21 and a senior in college in Utah.
We love living in Colorado and enjoy being outside. Hiking, biking, exercising, and spending time with my family are some of my favorite activities to do! I am looking forward to a great year working with you and your student!!!
