In this bilingual program, we’re celebrating body positivity as we read From Head to Toe by Eric Carle, sing songs, move our bodies, and make a butterfly magnet.
At Amigos Time, Spanish and English languages are intertwined. This month, we will celebrate our amazing bodies, from head to toe. We’ll read De la cabeza a los pies/ From Head to Toe by Eric Carle. Through stories, music, and simple movement, children will learn to name body parts in both languages and by practicing body positivity, feel strong, happy, and confident in their unique and wonderful selves. We’ll wrap up by creating a butterfly magnet, reminding us that our bodies grow, change, and do amazing things, just like butterflies!
En Amigos Time, los idiomas español e inglés se entrelazan. Este mes celebraremos nuestros increíbles cuerpos, de la cabeza a los pies. Leeremos De la cabeza a los pies / From Head to Toe de Eric Carle. A través de cuentos, música y movimiento sencillo, los niños aprenderán a nombrar las partes del cuerpo en ambos idiomas y, al practicar la aceptación y el amor propio, se sentirán fuertes, felices y seguros de sí mismos, tal como son. Cerraremos la actividad creando un imán de mariposa, que nos recordará que nuestros cuerpos crecen, cambian y hacen cosas maravillosas, ¡igual que las mariposas!
