Clare's Creative Corpus

Clare had her teacher trace her body, painted it, and then added anecdotes about her senses. She took a while to finish this, but had a great time doing it.

"I use my brain to think. I like to think about dinosaurs. I use my imagination to pretend I'm a dinosaur. I use my imagination to think about what my baby brother/sister might be like. When it's Easter I think she might try to take my Easter candy. " (Ahhhh, the worries of a 5 year old.)

"I use my mouth for eating a piece of broccoli. I use my eyes for looking outside the window to see the houses and stuff. I use my ears to listen to Harry Potter music. I use my nose to smell cinnamon."

"I use my arms for eating and drawing. I use them for climbing. I grab onto the climber and I pull. I use my arms for drinking. I use my arms to throw balls into my basketball hoop."

"I use my hands for grabbing a ball. I use my hand for crafts, art, beads, gluing. I use my hand to my daddy make coffee."

"I use my legs and feet to kick the soccer ball. I like to run a face. I use my legs to run and play tag and chase at school with my friends."
