Learning Body Parts / Aprendiendo las partes del cuerpo

Music and singing are a fun and effective way to help young children learn. We are pairing singing with movement and this is allowing Ian to not only hear the music, but also feel and move to the rhythms, express himself and learn new words.
At this moment, he is learning his body parts just listening and dancing these songs:
  • One Finger One Thumb Keep Moving
  • Head Shoulder Knees and toes
  • Doctor Knickerbocker, Knickerbocker, number nine
  • Dry Bones
  • Where is Thumbkin
At bedtime he likes to rub cream and talcum powder on his body. He enjoys this sensorial activity as well as recognizing and naming the parts of his body.
I am looking forward to having a whole body mirror. It will be very helpful for Ian to learn more about his body.

La música y el canto son una manera divertida y efectiva para ayudar a los niños pequeños a aprender.
Con Ian combinamos el canto con el movimiento. Esto le permite no sólo escuchar la música, sentir y moverse al ritmo de ella sino también aprender nuevas palabras. En este momento, el está aprendiendo las partes de su cuerpo escuchando y bailando estas canciones:

  • One Finger One Thumb Keep Moving
  • Head Shoulder Knees and toes
  • Doctor Knickerbocker, Knickerbocker, number nine
  • Dry Bones
  • Where is Thumbkin
Antes de acostarse a Ian le gusta echarse crema y talco a su cuerpo. El disfruta mucho esta actividad sensorial así como el poder reconocer y nombrar las partes de su cuerpo.
Espero que pronto tengamos un espejo de cuerpo entero. Este será muy útil para que Ian siga aprendiendo sobre su cuerpo.
