We have been pumping up our learning this summer as the giraffes learned about different parts of their body. We learned about our brain, heart, stomach, bones, and muscles! The class also did an experiment to help us remember that to keep our bodies healthy we need to wash those icky germs away with soap and water!

Check out some of our activities!

We learned that we have bones under our skin to protect

our insides! The class made outlines of our bodies using chalk

 and drew bones inside of us.

We made brain hats!

We colored a picture of our brain 

and wrote down some of the things that we 

think about around the hat.

 We made pictures of people with brains, 

hearts, and stomachs. 

We learned that brains help us think, 

hearts pump our blood around our body, 

and our stomachs store our food!

We learned that in order to be strong

we have to exercise our muscles and 

eat healthy food. We exercised our 

muscles with a relay race and an 

obstacle course!

For the relay race the students had to fill a cup of water and walk it to 

the big cup to fill it up!

 

How fast can they get through the relay race!

The class learned that a lot of the things

we touch have germs - and germs can 

make us sick! We did an experiment to see 

if we could just wipe our germs away. 

We couldn't! We had to use soap and water!

 

We made germ monsters to help us remember that germs are icky!

 Water day fun!

Drawing with chalk!

See you next week!

We are enjoying the beginning of summer in the Giraffe class! We are starting summer by learning what makes summer special: hot sunny days, playing outside, swimming, and cold treats. Check out some of activities!

We have a frog pond in our sensory table! 

The lily pads are made out of different shapes. 

We also have little pipe cleaners we used as tadpoles. 

We love tracing shapes with stickers

Counting scoops of ice-cream!

We made a list of what we know about the sun!

We know that the sun is...

- Golden/yellow

- Hot

- Up high

- In the sky

- Far away (we can't reach it)

- Helps plants grow

 We made our own suns! We tore up yellow and 

orange tissue paper to make our suns bright!

We traced lowercase letters on the whiteboard.

We decorated popsicle treats with a variety of shapes!

We reviewed circles, squares, diamonds, and triangles.

So much excitement about reading!

Ms. Tremmel tries to trick the class by 

switching some of the words - but they always

figure it out! 

 The students made their own frisbees and 

tried to see how far they could throw them.

The students spelled their names using scoops of ice-cream.
