All About Me

Our All About Me week was great fun. We learned all about ourselves and what makes us speical. The children had a great time telling about themselves, drawing themselves during art and singing about how unique and special they are.

We sang a song during the week called "Special Me" It is sung to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Special special special me

How I wonder what I'll be

in this big world I can be

anything I want to be

Special special special me

How I wonder what I'll be.

Puzzles were made using the children's faces, and they had to try to find the two parts of their faces and also their friends. We made some fun combinations that sure made us laugh.

During our center time we made self portraits of ourselves while looking in a mirror. It was interesting to see what parts everyone chose to include on their body.

Our Me Bags were a huge hit. Thanks for helping your

child fill their bag with things that make them happy. They were very creative! We had a great variety of things that you could tell made them so excited as their faces lit up as each thing was taken out of the bag to share. I was so bummed that I did not get pictures of them sharing their bags. Some of the things that were shared were crayons that showed our favorite color, pictures of family members far away, of course there were favorite lovies or snugglies that make us feel safe and even a food that makes us feel happy tucked inside the bag to share with our friends.

During our circle time we used body parts made out of construction paper as well as blocks to build a person, then played what part is missing and the children had to figure out what body part had been taken away. Everyone got a chance to guess and take away a part.
