small group lesson:

all about me

looking at our ink thumbprints through magnifying glasses

i say, "look at your thumbprint on paper, what do you see?" "now look at your friend's thumbprint, does it look the same or different?" "how is it different?"  "can you see any lines or swirls?"

marco says, " i see lions, squirrels AND pandas!" 

arrr! arrr! arrr!

a pirate, a pirate, a pirate says "arrr!"

it might seem strange, just a bit bizarre,

but they know you're a pirate,

when they hear you say "arrrr!"
