Pre K learns about faces part 1

This week Pre K is learning about faces. We started with a poem about our nose and then examined our faces.  We used a printout of actor Hugh Laurie's face that had all the features blanked out and those features printed on another sheet of paper.  Students practiced holding their scissors and their cutting skills to cut out the features and put the features in the right places.
These students have grown so much!  I can remember the difficulties they had the first time they used scissors and now they're pros. :)

Be Glad Your Nose is on Your Face

Jack Prelutsky, 1940

Be glad your nose is on your face,
not pasted on some other place,
for if it were where it is not,
you might dislike your nose a lot.

Imagine if your precious nose
were sandwiched in between your toes,
that clearly would not be a treat,
for you’d be forced to smell your feet.

Your nose would be a source of dread
were it attached atop your head,
it soon would drive you to despair,
forever tickled by your hair.

Within your ear, your nose would be
an absolute catastrophe,
for when you were obliged to sneeze,
your brain would rattle from the breeze.

Your nose, instead, through thick and thin,
remains between your eyes and chin,
not pasted on some other place--
be glad your nose is on your face!
