The Best Part of Me

 
We read the book: "The Best Part of Me" by Wendy Ewald.

The children were intrigued by the photos and began to discuss what they knew about the body and what part they liked the best on themselves. We recorded what they said.

We then took pictures of their favourite body part and had them write down what they had said during our discussion.
