You are invited to our Hispanic
Heritage Performance on Wednesday October 12th at 9:00 a.m.
Theme for the month:
My Five Senses!
Goals for
students understanding 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:
Blocks- Children are encouraged to use
blocks that are covered with green and/or brown paper to make them look like
tree parts. Students will be able to explore how they feel and look compared to
the other blocks in the block area.
Pretend Play-
Children are invited to explore lengths of fabric in various textures
(silky, burlap, terry cloth, etc.). The students will be able to discuss
the way the fabrics feel as they select which pieces they would like to
use.
Art- Various leaves
collected from a neighborhood walk will be added to our art center. Children
will be invited to use finger paints and discuss how the paint feels.
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- Materials of
various textures will be added to the manipulative area.
Library- Students are
invited to look at our classroom books and discuss what they see with their
peers.
Writing/Technology-
Weekly learning games on iPads are provided.
Sensory- Sand and water,
or play-doh.
