Bodies

We learned a lot about our bodies this week. They can do some amazing things! The children moved quite a bit this week, hence not too many pictures as they weren't still enough! We did have fun racing, playing soccer, throwing beanbags, jumping to the letters in our names, turning our bodies into letters, hopping, etc. I was delighted the weather was so pleasant and conducive to all this outdoor activity. Your children's bodies are growing so quickly and grasping so many new concepts. In just one month I've seen some pretty spectacular growth in them.
Porsche used her body to be the pretend doctor for this little baby.
Kyler used his hands to create a tall tower.
Gideon used his mouth to eat his face snacks.
Our lesson on Thursday merged into shape identification and so we brought out the journals and traced shapes and found the many shapes about the classroom.


Gideon so intent on writing in his journal. Though it may not look like much, these are the types of things that are some of the best ways to prepare them for writing legibly.


Sierra was focused on not only tracing the shapes but writing the names too.


Everyone loved balancing their bears on the "balance beam".



We even learned that our feet can paint too!



The balance beam became a bridge, then a ramp. These are creative kids!
