5 Senses

This week we learned a lot about our 5 senses, the letter "S", and the number 5!  We had a great new center that was full of things to explore with our senses.  We had rubber gloves full of different things to touch, eggs full of different things to hear, canisters full of cotton balls and smelly things to smell, magnifying glasses to look at things, and all sorts of different textures to touch.  It was a big hit! The kids love trying to figure out what was inside!

After we investigated ALL day, the kids had a blast trying to guess what was inside.  They did a great job and got almost all of them right!  I was very impressed.

The kids also got to make a book about their 5 senses.  They worked real hard to make the number 5 on the cover and cut out all their senses.  Then they had a lot of fun putting stickers on the pages.  Their favorite stickers were defenitly the smelly ones.  They were completely amazed that the stickers really smelled!

We also reviewed the letter S.  They all did a GREAT job remembering the sound it made, and they really enjoyed painting a big letter S!  I think they turned out SENSATIONAL!

We also had a little extra fun with the sense of hearing.  The kids got to paint a couple plates and we put a bell inside to make a noise maker.  The kids loved painting the plates, but the best part of this project was making all that music.

It was another great day with a great group of kids!  Can't wait to see them all next week!
