Healthy hearts

We looked at real hearts vs. valentines today. The preschoolers were interested to see that the picture of a real heart didn't really look like the shape of a valentine heart. We learned that our hearts are about the same size as our fists and that it is important to keep your heart healthy. Since your heart is a muscle you can keep it strong by excercising - just like you make your other muscles stronger. We used a stethescope to listen to our hearts and felt our hearts at work when we went to the gym. We also finished up the valentine holders and made heart name puzzles. We are pretty excited gor our valentine party tomorrow!
