Head, Tummy, Knees, and Toes

This week we are learning about body parts and the five senses. Along with the song Head, Tummy, Knees, and Toes we will be learning letter Nn for nose. Nachos will be our yummy snack that we make for our cooking lesson.

Eric Carle is a great author and we will be reading another one of his stories this week: From Head to Toe.
Listen and follow along with this video of the story.

Practice rhyming and identifying body parts with this fun song:

Touch your nose, Touch your chin,
That’s the way this game begins.
Touch your eye, Touch your knee,
Now pretend you are going to sneeze,
Touch your hair, Touch your ear,
Touch your two red lips right here.
Touch your elbows where they bend,
That’s the way this touch game ends.

We will also be popsicle painting to make scratch n sniff paintings. This is simple yet lots of fun! You can make your own smelly paint at home. You can also freese the "paint" to make popsicles so you don't have to worry about spills. Check out how to make it.

Another fun activity is making Oobleck....playing with the green slime is always a hit! Check out how to make it here.
