My Marvelous Body
As we study all about our marvelous bodies we will talk about ways that we are all alike and ways that we are all different. We will learn all of the ways to keep our bodies healthy like sleep, nutritious food and exercise. Our hands and fingers get a workout as we practice using scissors to snip turkey feathers. This takes a lot of eye/hand coordination, fine motor control, self control, patience and determination. Remember that children are ambidextrous until about five so you should let them choose which hand they want to cut with. We are getting weighed and measured to find out just how big we are.
Please remember we are closed on Thursday 11/26 and Friday 11/27 for Thanksgiving break.
Daily activities and updates are sent directly to parents through our ProCare app.
Skill Goal Focus
Beginners: Children will add seasonal words and body part names to their vocabulary. They will lay the foundation for later math by increasing their awareness of numbers and shapes. A lot of practice on stairs, throwing a ball, stringing beads, hopping jumping, and turning somersaults will absorb some of the tremendous energy of our younger group as well as increase their balance and coordination.
Preschool: Children will prepare for future reading skills by practicing recognition of identical pictures, shapes, patterns, letters, and sounds. They will enhance their ability to listen by recognizing everyday sounds without visual clues, and clapping in rhythm to music. Coordination and endurance will improve as they jump and run. Remember it is important to develop all aspects of the child. The physical skills are as important as the academic skills
