The 5 Senses

A huge thank you to all the parents for sending your students' spotlight items with them this month. It was so fun to get to know all the kids! Next week we will be starting show and tell. Be sure to check the newsletter for your child's assigned day!

This week we had lots of fun learning about the letter B and words that start with B (including body!). We also learned about shapes and the number 1.





We finished up our body unit this week by talking about the 5 senses.


On Tuesday we tested our sense of touch and taste by wearing blindfolds and trying to figure out what different items were. The kids were all super good at it! The only one that stumped them a little bit was a piece of yarn. They got some good observations on that one as they were trying to figure out exactly what it was.




We also explored our bodies through some fun games like Simon Says and Tissue Dancing. For Tissue Dancing each child got a tissue to put on their head and tried to keep it there while dancing. It was a lot harder than they expected it to be! Some kids tried ripping it in half to see if that would make it easier and some tried crinkling it up in a ball. It was fun to see them experiment with it!
