My Body

We are learning about our bodies this week!  We are talking about our arms, eyes, feet, fingers, etc.- even our spinal cord!  Pre-K made a visual representation of a spinal cord using lifesavers!

 

To incorporate some math, a few classes measured their foot using a ruler, then traced their shoe, and finally put 1" squares inside to show the measurement.

The children had fun tracing their bodies and then decorating them!

We even pretended to take x-rays and study them! 

We also focused on our 5 senses this week and there were some really neat activities that took place.  One class made a 5 senses bear craft.  You could hear the bells on his ears, feel the different textures, smell and even taste the cinnamon gum used for the tongue, and of course see him all put together!  The 3 year old class got to experiment with Pop Rocks.  They talked about how with this unique candy, you can see it, feel it, smell it, taste it, and as you are tasting- you can hear it!

The letter "C" was EVERYWHERE this week!  We had caterpillars, chameleons, cookies, and clouds!  I sure do love all the reinforcement of our letter of the week!
