We are exploring the many ways that we are the same and that we are different from each other. We are examining what our eyes are like, what our hair is like and our skin color. We made simple puppets from paper towel tubes before we began to look carefully at skin color.
In art we mixed paint to match the color of skin and then decorated more elaborate puppets that BZ made with the children. We will write stories about our puppets and ask BZ if we can display them in a case. We have been making impressions of our hands that we will also paint in skin color tones.
We are making books about ourselves and our families. Thank you to the people who sent in a family photo for your child's book. We took close up shots of children's eyes to include in their books and to use as a matching game. The children are very good at identifying each other by just their eyes! we have made a chart of everyone's hair. It's harder to identify each other just by hair.
