The students read the participatory book ¨From Head to Toe¨´ by renowned children´s book author Eric Carle. The book involves the narrator to ask the children to mimic an animals´ movements and the children boldly answer ¨I can do it! ¨. After discovering the many movements of animals through the book, the Pre-kinders researched and closely observed one animal of their interest through visiting online zoos and aquariums, books, photos, etc. They drew and wrote down their observation of the animal (What can it do? What does it look like? Can I do it too?) and with the observation they acted out the animal. Each student participated in creating our ¨From Head to Toe¨ Collaborative Class Book to share, read, discover and learn about animals and their own capabilities. To continue and promote the interest of the Prekinder students of this topic, we continued to discover animals through a various of classic children´s literature such ¨The Very Hungry Caterpillar¨ by Eric Carle,¨The Animal Boogie¨ by Debbie Harter and ¨The Three Little Pigs¨.
