keeping Healthy #7


Harry is a dog who hates to take baths. Harry hid his bath brush, then went out to play. He played, and played, and played. When Harry returned home, his family didn't recognize Harry. His family thought that Harry was a strange dog. Then Harry ran and got his bath brush. His family washed him, and were surprised that this dirty dog was actually Harry.
Today we talked about the importance of keeping hands, face, and our bodies clean. Another great thing for our bodies is exercises, sleep and eating healthy foods.
Sometimes our bodies get sick so doctors and medicine can make us feel better.
For a craft, we painted a Harry the dirty dog, and colored and matched healthy food on to a plate. We then passed around the plate and named our favorite "healthy" food or snack.
The number for today was #7. I introduced another time challenge called a "week" A week has 7 days. We go to preschool 2 days of the week. Time is a little hard to comprehend for little ones. However, I taught them the week song, (sung to the Adams family theme), and that seemed to help along with the familiar calendar they see in their own homes.
