Shoes and Body Parts!

We continued to enjoy our shoe store, particularly the cash register, and added some interesting exploration of our skeletal system and head, shoulders, knees, and toes. The children looked at x-ray pictures of animals and fish at the light table, and we also learned that we have all sorts of bones in our own bodies. We measured ourselves and found out that we are quite sizeable when we were traced and colored in our body outlines!

 What happens when a dinosaur comes to the shoe store? It wants to buy all the shoes!

 This was the biggest shoe store order ever!

 We had some time out in the snowy woods this week!

 The whole group of children changed "trains."

Rosalba taught us "head, shoulders, knees and toes" in Spanish this week.

Until Next Time,
