Monkey School

It was my turn to teach Gideon's little homeschool preschool that I do with a couple other moms. The lesson theme was "me". The kids each brought a picture of their family and shared what they like to do with their family. Then we sang "head, shoulders, knees and toes". After that, we put together a paper body and talked about how great our bodies are. We went outside and traced outlines of our bodies with chalk. I also had the kids put together collages with cutouts from magazines with their favorite color, fruit, veggie, toy, season, etc. For snack- I had cut up a bunch of different veggies and fruits and let the kids put together "snack bodies" and then eat them up! I think Gideon loved this best of all. When Jasper got home from Kindergarten, he wanted to do it also. I don't do enough of this "fun food" stuff. Makes meal time really fun when the kids get to be a little creative and participate.
