Growth & Check-Ups...

On Wednesday our Mother Goose lesson were about growing and our yearly Doctor check-ups...

 On Wednesday the kids did a lot of measuring.  We measured different objects in the room...

 ...and compared our results.

 We also measured our friends...

 Then the kids completed a dog growth chart activity.  They drew pictures of different items in the room and in order from smallest to biggest, and wrote each measurement next to each drawing!  I was so impressed with how hard they worked on this one!

 We learned from our new rhyme time poster!  Jack Be Nimble...

What does it mean to be nimble?  Can you be nimble?

Is it safe to jump over a candlestick?  What is safe to jump over?  

We practiced jumping over different objects.

What letters and words can you recognize on the poster?

What rhyming words can you identify?

 We also played a game of Domino's with pictures of different kids of varying abilities staying active and healthy!

 The kids and I also talked about the importance of going to the doctor each time we have a birthday...

 I let the kids choose how they wanted to make their own doctor bag.

S wanted to paint hers...

 ...and use paint dobbers. :)

 Some of the kids wanted to put their band-aids on them and act like they were hurt...

 I think this project may have gotten him over his fear of band-aids!  :)

 K wanted to make her doctor bag a vet bag!

 G is assembling his bag by taping the sides...

 This book reminded the kids that their parents love them no matter no big they grow!

 I have to share how impressed I was with the kids and our new rubber band boards that Mother Goose provided us this month...
