Materials: Laminated Letter H, Song: Wave Your Hands Up High by Music For Moving Preschool Action Songs
Today we put all of our Healthy Habits together and did some heart-pumping exercise. We followed the directions for the song Wave Your Hands Up High (one of the most popular songs I use). We waved our hands up high, we hopped and jumped, we twisted and swam. In between verses, we would shake. Every could choose what body part to shake. Hair, heads, shoulders, arms, legs, or our whole body. One of the kids discovered that we could shake our faces (and make funny noises with our mouths while doing it). Then we sat down and felt our hearts. My heart was beating fast. Exercise that makes our hearts beat faster is good for us.
Goodbye, Letter H! Next month we will start with letter P. Get ready for lots of popping. Miss Carrie might even break out her mad breakdancing skills. Or maybe not. It's been a long time since she was an 80's teen.
