Good Hygiene Funny things happen, as we get a little older.... we get a little stronger, and smell a little bolder! So we use soap, and bathe everyday.... and put on clean clothes, so the smell goes away. We need to brush our teeth, and learn how to gargle'.... it prevents bad breath and possible tooth loss! We practice "good-hygiene" habits, it's easier than it seems...... it's all part of growing up and building ''self-estem''!

UNIT 4 Once I saw a little bird & Mittu and the yellow mango
Listening to the poem You tube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fc0wel4tth8 What do you give me? One child will enact a tree. Other children will enact different actions, such as watering the tree, sitting or sleeping under its shade, plucking fruits, leaves, flowers etc, swinging from its branches, pelting stones at the tree. The tree shows different expressions like sorrow, joy, pain etc at the actions Children describe each action and its associated feeling. They then draw a happy tree and a sad tree.

PAPER CRAFT
Instructions - Tissue Paper Version:

Print out the trunk or make one by tracing the child's hand (with finger's spread) and arm about half way up to the elbow. Colour the trunk if using the B&W version. (For a change of pace, try using different mediums than you typically do, such as paints or pastels). Cut green and red tissue paper into 1.5 inch squares. We put all our squares in a margarine container so they wouldn't fly around and make a mess when someone walked by our work space. Squeeze glue on about 1/4 of the tree (liquid glue works much better than a glue stick for this project) . Wrap a tissue paper square onto the eraser end of a pencil. Place the tissue paper onto the tree by pushing the eraser end of the pencil (wrapped in tissue paper) onto a spot with glue. Continue placing squares of tissue paper, mixing the colors, until the tree is nice and full. Use crayons, paints or collage materials to further decorate the page ( with green tissue paper for grass and white cotton balls for clouds works very nicely!)

Rather than using the Trunk template, you can decorate a "homemade" trunk (to make the trunk, trace your child's arm from the elbow up, including the fingers)

Instructions

4. Open the fold and fold the envelope back the other way

Circle Song (to the tune of: "If You're Happy and You Know It") A circle is a shape that goes round. A circle is a shape that goes round. A circle is a shape that goes round, And round and round. A circle is a shape that goes round. Tiptoe slowly on the circle and go round. Tiptoe slowly on the circle and go round. Tiptoe slowly on the circle, And go round and round and round. Tiptoe slowly on the circle and go round.
