What can the animal do that you can do as well?ġ. To continue and promote the interest of the Prekinder students of this topic, we continued to discover animals through a various of classic children´s literature such ¨The Very Hungry Caterpillar¨ by Eric Carle,¨The Animal Boogie¨ by Debbie Harter and ¨The Three Little Pigs¨. Each student participated in creating our ¨From Head to Toe¨ Collaborative Class Book to share, read, discover and learn about animals and their own capabilities. They drew and wrote down their observation of the animal (What can it do? What does it look like? Can I do it too?) and with the observation they acted out the animal. After discovering the many movements of animals through the book, the Pre-kinders researched and closely observed one animal of their interest through visiting online zoos and aquariums, books, photos, etc. The book involves the narrator to ask the children to mimic an animals´ movements and the children boldly answer ¨I can do it! ¨. Teacher: Are there other ways you can move The following are examples of ways you can coach further exploration.
After moving as the animal does, encourage further movement exploration. Discuss how Eric Carle wrote all of those books, and he draws the pictures too.The students read the participatory book ¨From Head to Toe¨´ by renowned children´s book author Eric Carle. You may use a drum or your own voice cue to do the particular movement. Eric Carle’s books ( Brown Bear What Do You See, The Very Hungry Caterpillar…).Song “ Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes“ and “ If you’re Happy“.Encourage students’ creativity by having them ideas for other animals that could have been in the story (cat, dog, fish, tortoise, mouse.), and then have them demonstrate how those animals move.
Grammatical structures There is/there are, What is it?/What’s this? It’s a … (+ animal).You can play charades having others guess whig animal you are. The kids can use these in a variety of ways.
(See more of my book activities for kids ) These activity cards have all of the animals from the book and the action that they do. It shares the idea of individuality and acceptance. I made a set of printable From Head to Toe Activity Cards.
