                       Our 5 Senses


 This week, we began learning and exploring the five senses of touch, sight, smell, taste, and sound. During this theme, children identify, compare, and classify items as they investigate the world around them.

 Morah read us a book on our 5 Senses. We learned which parts of our body's we need to use for each of the senses. For a protect, we glued Mr. potato head's body parts.





We learned a song on 5 senses. 

  Five Senses  
 (Tune: Where is Thumbkin)
 Five senses, five senses 
 We have them. We have them. 
 Seeing, hearing, touching, 
 Tasting, and smelling. 
 There are five. There are five.

TOUCHING- Morah put different objects on the floor and we each took a turn to cover our eyes and guess what object we were touching. 















We then compared the objects. Some were SMOOTH or RUFF, BUMPY or STRAIT, OR HARD or SOFT.  
  



TASTING- We compared the taste between sweet and sour.
We each got a turn tasting lemon and honey.








SMELLING- We each got a turn to cover our eyes and guess the smell of a food spices, coffee, or perfume. 









HEARING- We played with musical instruments and compared the different sounds they make.






SEEING- Morah read us a book (BROWN BEAR), and we took a turn spotting and seeing different things in our classroom.
