What We Did Last Week...
Our theme last week was body parts. Our anchor book was I Ain't Gonna Paint no More. This was such a fun book for the students. It introduced rhyming, colors, body parts etc. We worked on identifying the different parts of our body. We had some fun activities that we did, based on this theme.
What Will Happen This Week...
We will continue our body parts theme this week. Our anchor book will still be I Ain't Gonna Paint no More. We read several books during a week and this week another book we will be reading is From Head to Toe by Eric Carle. We learn about body parts from the different animal body parts that are in the book. We will do some sorting and matching of body parts also, not all eyes, ears, mouths, noses, arms, or legs look the same.
