My Body Theme/Thematic Unit

my body thematic unit My Body

Grade Level: 1st, 2nd, 3rd grades
Price: $7.99
Product #: 1000211
Sample Pages

This book has been a classroom favorite for years! It is designed to provide information about the human body for the primary child. Parts of the human body are explained and illustrated. Patterns are included for life-size replicas that the children can make and take home.

It is our hope that if children learn about their bodies at an early age, they will not abuse them later. We hope they will join with us and become excited about learning what is going on inside the body and strive to stay healthy!
