Didactic Unit The Magic of My Body

DIDACTIC UNIT:
“THE MAGIC OF MY BODY”
From birth, the boy or girl discovers his or her body through exploration. As he
grows, his abilities and motor skills increase, which provides him with greater control,
mastery, autonomy and self-confidence.
Boys and girls at the Initial Level know the main parts of their body, little by little
they discover the functions that regulate their body, often finding non-scientific
answers.
