coordination); To associate some senses / actions with the
corresponding organs.

the body (head, eyes, mouth, nose, etc)
Materials and resources:
- Puppet
- Balloons
- Body parts labels
- 1 box

flour, cream of tartar, edible cake coloring, oil, salt, warm water)
- Cardboard plates
Possible contingencies:
- Children talking at the same time when teacher asks questions;

Classroom management strategies:
- Start each activity explaining what it is;

make a movement with the hands over the ears saying clo clo clo “to
open the ears, close the mouth and listen to the teacher or classmates”.

shoulder, or saying his/her name in a low voice.

necessary to calm the class down, Little Monster is made to sing the
silent song: “Little Monster ´s calling clo, clo, clo.”
- Give clear instructions to do the tasks to each student:
- If time is short and they were not able to assemble and paint the
monster crafts, continue the activity next class.
Assessment: collecting information and reporting your findings
- Asking questions about the last class;
- Observing children working individually and together;
- Help or guide them if necessary
