Today we took a look at our baby pictures and tried to guess who was who. Some were very easy. Some were more difficult. It was fun. Even Mr. Randy got in on the fun. We started our day reading a specific book today. Mr Randy and Mrs Melissa let me know yesterday when I […]

Today we flipped the switch a little. We are accustomed to drawing our self portraits with black markers on white paper. Today we examined our faces in a mirror again and drew our faces on black paper with white . We tried a pumpkin project I have seen on social media and I am pretty […]

Think about what all facial expressions tell us. There’s a lot of communicating goes on by using our faces. Today’s focus is not intended to address emotional development we do that all day every day. We are simply going to look at different facial expressions and how we might become more self-conscious of them. How […]

In today’s exploration we took a picture – and talked. The picture was an invitation to promote children to think about the possibilities. I simply said “What is going on?” The confused looks on their faces were comical at times.

Today we found in on our nose. We use our nose all day long sometimes without even thinking. I asked all of the children “what is your favorite smell? What is your least favorite smell ?” Almost everyone said their favorite smell is chocolate. It made me wonder if they were confusing taste with smell. […]

Today we explored the skin on our face. Do any of us have freckles or dimples ? What’s under our skin? We read a fun book that talked about skin and the differences ( and similarities )we all have . We looked at our fingertips through a magnifying glass. Everyone’s finger prints are unique. We […]

Last week with been a lot of time talking about our faces. We drew them, we looked at them in mirrors , we constructed them from loose parts and we made them from clay. This week we can begin this constructing our faces a little. Never just looked at your face. I remember the day […]
