ALL ABOUT ME UNIT

Our class has started an "ALL ABOUT ME" Unit.  We began by talking about how every one of us is special. Morah handed out mirrors. We looked inside and saw...Ourselves! We each have eyes, a nose, a mouth, ears and hair. Our class discussed that although we are similar in this way, each persons face/body is different. We looked at Brandon's hair and Manya's hair. Their hair is light. We then looked at Arik's, Naomi's, Mariella's, Leyla's, Tova Leah's, Leah's, Inna's, Shimon's, Mark's, Benjamin's and Morah's hair. Their hair is Dark Brown. Our class read a book about everyone being a special individual. 

 The book is called "What I Like About Me!"

We decorated special magnets with our pictures on it. We are proud to be special!  Nursery friends also created miniature paper cutouts of themselves.

 Our friends got to play with mini "people" in the block center. These mini "people" have pictures of each child. Through this, children get to expand their imaginations in innovative ways.  This enables the children to "go" places or "be" people they want to be (ie. a fireman riding on a fire truck...etc.) It also helps them play out scenarios they deal with or imagine. 

Here are some of our friends playing with their own mini "people".

Our friends also enjoyed playing pretend play. Their imaginations soared with the endless possibilities of what they can be when they grow up. Mark and Mariella decided that when they grow up, they just want to be grown ups.

Mark and Mariella are all grown up! Mark is a Daddy wearing a tie and holding his baby. Mariella is a Mommy.

We will continue our unit with exploring our families!
