Theme for the month:
My Five Senses!
Enduring understandings that the student should have by the end of the unit:
• There are five senses. They are smell, taste, touch, sight and hearing.
• We use our senses to understand our bodies, learn what they need, and keep us safe.
• We use our senses to learn about the people, places, objects, and environment around us.
• We experience and interact with the world differently when our senses, such as vision or hearing, are impaired.
Lessons and activities for the week:
Pretend Play- The dramatic play center will be transformed into an apple orchard. Students will be able to explore apples with their senses.
Art- Play-doh will be added to the art center as children discuss how the play-doh feels, looks, and smells
Science- A "Feely Box" will be added to the science center. Students are invited to put their hands in the holes of the box and identify the object using only their sense of touch.
Math- Students will be able to sort animal manipulatives by color, size, type, and texture.
Library- Students are invited to look at our classroom books and discuss what they see with their peers.
Writing- Ziploc bags will be filled with hair gel and securely sealed. Students will be encouraged to use their finger to practice drawing and writing on the surface of the bags.
Sensory- Sand and water, or play-doh.
Some of the books we will read this week are:
• Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See? by Eric Carle
• Our Senses by Adrienne Betz
