Theme — All About Me!
Poems/Fingerplays
Songs
- "Where is Thumbkin?" from Circle Time by Lisa Monet
- "If You're Happy & You Know It" from Six Little Ducks
- "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" from Here We Go Loopty Loo and Songs to Make You Move by the Learning Station
- "Skinnamarink" from Great Big Hits 2 and many other recordings by Sharon, Lois and Bram
Activities
- Do the hokey pokey! You can use a recording (like the one found on 1-2-3 for Kids by the Chenille Sisters) however, singing it yourself allows you to tailor it to your own child's abilities and lets you set the pace
- Create an "All about me" or "My body" mini book at the DLTK All About Me Craft section
