The Joy of the Body 09/22 and 09/24

09/22- Today we discovered what our bodies can do. We talked about healthy foods and things we can do to take good care of our bodies. We got to try out an obstacle course and enjoyed the weather outside. We also got to have a little more fun with play-dough today.

09/24- We focused on what a blessing it is to have a healthy body. We crawled around the floor and compared our bodies to many different animals and talked about the differences. 

The highlight of the day was when we watched a couple of short video clips that showed children with different disabilities. We discussed how although we are all very different everyone is equally important. One little girl was born without arms but was still able to accomplish great things with her feet. The children took the next activity very serious where they tried to move blocks around with only their feet. They were able to put all the blocks away without using their hands and gained a new appreciation for their bodies.

They loved their free time playing in the toy room.
