Learning about ourselves

We began learning about our bodies on Wednesday. We started by learning we all have a body. We all have hands, feet, head, and stomach. We then did the hokey pokey dance to review our body parts. Not only did the children have fun, but they also worked on their listening skills, gross motor and coordination skills. They also learned and reviewed their new English vocabulary words; body, hand, feet, stomach, and head.
Today, we began by coloring a picture of a child. The girls got a girl picture and the boys a boy picture. We discussed who is a girl and who is a boy.
By circle time, we learned about the parts of our face. Our eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. We also discussed what each body part does.  We smelled cinnamon and nutmeg with our nose. We also said that we can listen to music with our ears. Guess what? After circle time, we met our music teacher and really enjoyed her music and movement songs.
