Our letter of the week is "x." It is one of those letters that doesn't really have to much to offer with snacks, books or art projects; so we had some fun the concept of the "x-ray." Now since getting an x-ray can be scary, we had a good time putting together an x-ray puzzle. The children enjoyed this child sized skeleton puzzle and it inspired some very thoughtful conversation during our circle time. They were amazed by the way the bones all work together. This was the first time most of them had seen an entire skeleton and they had fun laying beside it and looking at where the bones would be in their own body. We also talked about ways to keep our body healthy and how to make our bones strong. What a great way to start 2012...being healthy!
