This week we celebrate our strong skeletons.
I call this our Happy Bones theme.
It helps children digest with a positive view the imagery all around us for Halloween and Dia de Los Muertos that can otherwise feel perhaps quite frightening. We read a story about our skeleton and touch our bones through our skin and muscles. We dance shapes by moving our bones. A special anatomy book I brought shows the children pictures of the bones inside of other living animals. While bones make up our human skeletons, it's fun to notice what helps other things hold their shape. Wood might be the skeleton of the tree for example.
