Our Senses

This week we used our eyes, ears, noses, mouths and hands to explore everything! "Senses" was a great theme to find many activities to do that involved multiple skills. This was definitely one of our favorite themes, especially the tasting part! :)

Working on self portraits

We used our sense of touch to feel around a sock to figure out what shape was inside. Then we drew the shape on our paper.

Sense of taste! We closed our eyes and Mrs. Tracy put a jellybean in our hand and then we tasted and thought long and hard and guessed which fruit flavor we thought it was.

Hmmmmmm...maybe apple?

Thinking hard....maybe grape?

It must be lemon!

We also used our sense of touch to feel many different items and figure out what describing word best fit it. Was it smooth, rough, soft or something else?

We painted some colorful flowers to go on the walls for a nice open house decoration. :)

We also wrote and illustrated our own stories this week! Yes, we are that big! We drew ourselves in any environment we could imagine and then dictated to Mrs. Tracy what we were doing. We are great storytellers!

We used our sense of smell to make flowers with scented cotton balls inside. We hope they made your home or car smell extra good!

We studied a tray of random school items and then Mrs. Tracy made one disappear while our eyes were shut. We used our sense of sight and our good memories to remember what was missing. We loved this game!

We had SO much fun learning about our senses!
