We have already reached October, I can hardly believe it! As we continue our understanding of building community I thought it would be a good idea to start with the first and most important person in a community, yourself. Today, the boys took some time to explore themselves through play with some skin tone colored playdoh, mirrors, and loose parts.
B began the study of himself by looking in the mirror and making silly faces.. He named different parts of his face like eyes and mouth as he pointed to them in the mirror. B LOVED to look at his reflection, giggle, and then look straight at me. This game lasted for a few minutes before he put some loose parts onto the parts of his reflections face.
N, on the other hand, started straight with the playdoh. He rolled it around and flattened it out to make a pancake shape. He first just began putting different pieces in and naming the shapes he saw. He placed them in carefully and created a mosaic of sorts.
This is just our first day of the study of ourselves and self portraits. We will continue to talk about the different features of our faces, our skin color, and the many amazing parts that make ourselves who we are.I am excited to see what the boys bring to the table the rest of the week!
