Theme: Our 5 Senses
Woot! I just shared this with a teacher picking up books for her classroom (they are starting a unit on the 5 senses). Talk about validation-- she loved it!
Skill Tip:
Help build your child’s vocabulary using the mask. Discuss how different parts of our bodies help us make observations about our environment. Ask your child to point out the parts of his body that helps him see, hear, smell, and taste things in the world around him.

Introduction/Modeling skill:
Me and My Senses by Joan Sweeney
Discuss
with the children that we all have five senses, and they are all important.
Tell them that
sometimes we use only one sense, and sometimes we use more than one sense.
Highlight
the words see, smell, taste, hear, and
touch while reading. Identify the first letter and sound
of each word. After reading the book, ask the children to stand up and point to their
body parts as you call out the senses.

All About Me
I have two eyes so I can see,
All the things around me.
I have two ears so I can hear,
All the sounds that are far and near.
I have a nose so I can smell,
The beautiful spring flowers I love so well.
I have a tongue so I can taste,
And not let anything go to waste.
I have ten fingers so I can touch.
There are many things to feel, it’s way too
much.
Now you know all about me,
Senses made from body parts, one, two, three.

Pa' bebe que esta feliz.....this is similar to pat-a-cake. Spanish speaking participants can teach it to English speaking participants, and in turn they can teach them Pat-a-cake:
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man.
Bake me a cake as fast as you can;
Roll it, pat it and mark it with B.
Put it in the oven for baby and me.

Voy a muchos lugares con abuelita
Esta es mi familia enterita
Display the rhyme “My Family.”
Read it aloud, having group chime in and do the motions. Say: Some families have lots of people; they are big families (stretch your arms out, to indicate big). Some families have just a few people. They are small families (hold two fingers just barely apart, to indicate small). Have children copy your arm motions and repeat the appropriate words with you.
Have each parent/child draw a picture of a member of his or her family. Have parent/child take turns standing up to show their pictures. Help each parent/child tell which family member he or she chose to draw. Label their pictures, and have the child repeat the family name with you.
