H is for Hearts

Hearts

Math

Heart Counting Sheet – Students count the number of hearts and write the number next to the hearts.

Heart patterns – We will be making patterns using hearts and

Science

Find Your Heart Quick Activity - Cut small pieces of paper into heart shapes and write “My Heart” on each shape. Make one for each child. Ask children if they know where their hearts are located in their bodies. Have them point to the spot. Help children secure the shapes on their chests with safety pins or tape to mark the spot where their hearts are located.

Listen to your heart - We will use a stethoscope to listen to each others hearts at rest. Then we will do some quick cardiovascular activities and listen to how our heart beat has changed.

Take a Look Inside – Each student will receive a print out of the body showing hearts, veins, arteries, and lungs. We will discuss what each of these are and what the do in our body to help us everyday.

Art

Body Model – each student will get a piece of paper with an outline of a body. Students will draw in the eyes, mouth, and nose. Then each student will glue a heart to the area they think the heart is located. We will decorate the body with hair and clothes.

Music

My heart is inside me.

Here, here, here. (medium voice, touch chest)

It beats very quietly.

Hear, hear, hear. (soft voice, touch ears)

My heart keeps me happy.

Cheer, cheer, cheer! (loud voice, arms up and out)
