One our fun activities this week was outlining our bodies and then putting on facial features and our heart, lungs, and stomach. Another highlight of our week was learning yoga from our own personal yoga instructor... Mrs. Nicole!
We also talked about our bones and had fun looking at our "skeleton man". One of our best learning moments this week was sorting food into which foods were healthy and which were unhealthy. Many had a look of astonishment when we told them that ice cream had to go in the "bad for our bodies" bucket! :) Some of our other activities included building sandwiches and tacos with felt food, talking about our five senses using gummy worms, counting with fruit, and doing number exercises. Our gummy worm activity included listening to, squishing/feeling, looking at, smelling, and (of course) tasting our worms to describe our senses. We laughed at the book Parts and enjoyed learning about exercise with the books Bearobics and Get Up and Go!
Our science experiment this week was a glitter germ experiment. We put glitter paint (aka "germs") on everyone's hands and let them look at how many germs can be stuck on our hands. We learned a new "Wash Your Hands" song and discussed how washing our hands is so important (because just like the glitter, germs spread on everything we touch).
We continue to do our table trading at the end of the day to work on fine motor skills and math skills... Everyone is doing great! Many of our friends are beginning to identify the numbers 1-5 with ease. The more you can count and write numbers with your child, the better! We also worked on sorting shapes this week, which is a great home activity as well!
See if your child can remember these things from this week:
- What sound the letter H makes and what the letter looks like.
- What foods make our bones strong.
- 2 things we can do to keep our bodies healthy.
- Our Bible story about Tabitha and how she was so kind to others.
- Our Bible verse ("Always give thanks to God!")
- Our "All of Me" song that is in their poetry folder.
We are experts at finding letters!
Everyone still loves our reading and science centers!
Putting on our body parts was quite exciting!
Such careful workers. :)
Sorting shapes takes a lot of focus!
