Salto Grande and Body Songs

The sixth-graders got to visit Salto Grande Dam one day when we weren't in school (lucky kids!), so we brought an activity to compare Salto Grande and Hoover Dam.


Then in first grade we're working on using songs and games the kids already know, like "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" and Simon Says, to get the parts of the body straight.



This handsome fellow was a collaborative effort on the part of the kids. Check out the detail on the fingers and the strapping shoulders he has there, keeping the arm bone connected to the neck bone.
