This document outlines a unit project on the parts of the body for children. It includes 4 lessons to teach children about different body parts through songs, stories, activities, and games. The lessons incorporate various grouping strategies and aim to increase children's vocabulary, understanding of communication, and ability to identify body parts through meaningful and scaffolded activities. Assessment includes tasks like modeling clay bodies, sticking body part labels, and drawing faces. The goal is for children to learn about their own bodies in an engaging, interactive way.
