Body Letters!

Today Mrs.Brisley's small group wondered what were different ways they could create letters. We can draw them or paint them! said Aya. We can also write them down or make them out of clay, Tony explained. After the topic was discussed the idea of creating letters with their bodies was introduced. Children got the opportunity to recall letters they were familiar with to individually or collaboratively create them using their bodies.

You can be the long part of the B and Aya and I can scrunch and be the other parts of the B. - Brooke

Although not all children were creating letters at the same time, they all had the chance to suggest other body movements to create the letters by observing their classmates.

Maybe if Makayla moved her feet closer to David's and stretches her hands it can look more like the letter M. - Annabella
