This is the last week of September as well as our last week of the Mother Goose Time theme My Amazing Body. we are wrapping up the week by learning how to keep our amazing bodies healthy! I was so happy to see a hand washing day, because now it isn't just me telling them that they need to wash their hands more often and better. Mother Goose Time has my back on this, and they made it more fun then my nagging. I absolutely love that we learned this so close to the cold and flu season starting up too. This will be our biggest defense against getting sick.
We started off our morning with Breakfast and Books like usual, and then we did a fun Germ activity. I pre glued the eyes on the plate and drew a face on it, my kids informed me that it should have been a sad face since it was going to be covered in germs. I then put a little green paint on the plate and had them touch the germ and spread it on the face. This helped them to visually see how a germ might get spread.
The last project we did was the Wax Resist Art. We were given an inspiration photo, some paper, and a couple small bars of soap. I had them color on their white papers with the soap and then we painted over it with watercolors. This was such a fun project and I loved that it used a bar of soap instead of a crayon to make it go along with the theme.

This little guy is now hanging in a very visual spot to hopefully help keep awareness of spreading germs. We also each took a turn washing our hands correctly at the bathroom sink. After this we practiced our handwriting by using trays with shaving cream. They were allowed to use their fingers, sticks, and paintbrushes. Even my older one liked doing this. I laid out the hands on letters that were included with our supplies so he could copy the letters.
We will be finishing up this week by learning how to protect our body, sleep, brush our teeth, and exercise. Then we will be starting October by learning about Weather and Changing Seasons.
