Our Bodies: Bottoms Story Time: November 18-19, 2019

Books:
Chicken Butt by Erica Perl
Chicken Cheeks by Michael Ian Black
Parts by Tedd Arnold *
We've All Got Bellybuttons by Bill Martin Jr. *

Craft: Person Puzzle
Children were given a large gingerbread man cutout in pieces.  They glued the pieces onto a piece a paper reassembling into a person.  They then colored the person.


Extension Activities:
- Ask your child what movements different body parts can do.  (i.e. toes can wiggle, fingers can snap, arms can stretch, etc.).
- Chicken Cheeks gives synonyms for "derriere".  Ask your child if they can come up with synonyms for other body parts.  (i.e. toes = piggies)

Feet Story Time: November 24-25, 2014

Books:
Dancing Feet by Lindsey Craig
The Foot Book by Dr. Seuss
Shoes for Me! by Sue Fliess *
Parts by Tedd Arnold *
Who Has These Feet? by Laura Hulbert *

Craft: Centipede
The children were given the body of a centipede (which I admit looks more like a worm) to color.  They then glued on strips of black paper for the legs.

Literacy Extensions:
- Learn about animals and their feet (i.e. Who Has These Feet?).
- Practice rhyming words by seeing how many words your child can come up with to rhyme with the various body parts.
