This week we continued to talk about about hygiene. We asked WHO takes a bath and WHO takes a shower? Do we have MORE people who take a bath or MORE who take a shower?
We also sang The Bath Song by Super Simple Songs.
We jumped from this song to naming other body parts. Ankles, wrist, forehead, chin. We talked about how keeping our bodies clean is part of good hygiene. We need to be clean so we don't get sick.
FYI: Your kids may talk about how we need to wash our hands and cover our mouths and nose when we sneeze or cough because Miss Carrie does not want to get sick. I'll remind them to wash hands or cover mouths and they will often respond "So you don't get sick." Exactly!
