Pictures from Joy of the Body

My body helps me everyday

Some of the very best parts of our bodies are the five senses. They all make me happy because they help me learn about things. I am surely grateful for my eyes, ears, nose, tongue and fingers. Through them I can learn to know and love the world.

*Help me notice my senses. Pick something out and let's ask ourselves which of our senses can sense that thing! Since it's autumn, the world is really getting extra beautiful. I can appreciate it with all my senses.

I want to take care of my body by eating good food. I want to brush my teeth and keep my body clean and well rested and healthy!

Next week we'll be using our bodies to discover The Joy of the Earth.

Note: The pictures for this post will be added soon. I am having trouble getting them added.

Joy of the Body

Wow! My body is wonderful. It can do so many things...and it has so many parts! It even has some hinges! We'll be learning about our wonderful bodies this month -- everything from our five senses to how to care for and use the various parts of our bodies. Please talk about these things a lot with me this month and help me understand and appreciate.

Our first week

We had a great start this week getting to know each other and becoming comfortable in our classroom. The children seemed eager to explore some new activities and make some new friends. This was an introduction week and next week we will begin our unit on the Joy of the Body. Hopefully, all parents have received a calendar and a class listing. Your children are a delight and we are very encouraged about the year ahead!

Teach me joy

Joy is loving myself and my neighbors
Joy is growing in body and mind
Joy is facing the problems of each new day
and sharing the love that I can find

Teach me joy, teach me joy,
While I'm young teach me joy.
Teach me to want it, to find it, to know it
And teach me to feel it, to give it, to show it

Please, while I'm young
Teach me joy, teach me joy!
