Kindergarten: Our Bodies

For the past 6 weeks, kindergarteners have been learning the names of our body parts in Spanish.  We have had fun singing Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes in Spanish - ask your child to sing this for you! We have also learned a new Spanish song about making music with our bodies - "Mi Cuerpo Hace Música!"

Check out the vocabulary below and see how many your child can name for you if you point to that body part! 

Head = cabeza (cah-BEH-zah)

Shoulders = hombros (OM-bros)

Knees = rodillas (row-DEE-yahs)

Feet = pies (PEE-es)

Eyes = ojos (OH-hose)

Ears = orejas (oh-DEH-has)

Mouth = boca (BOH-kah)

Nose = nariz (nah-DEES)

To go along with our study of body parts, we have played a lot with monsters!  We read the book "Go Away, Big Green Monster" in Spanish - the students loved it!  Then we also explored several other monsters and made observations in Spanish about how many of each body part they had.  We even created our own class monster in Spanish!  To finish up our mini unit, today students drew themselves as "monsters" and were able to describe their body parts in Spanish - check out your students' work in their take-home folder!
