Week of October 9th, 2017
My Five Senses
Goals for student 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 the
green blocks feel and look compared to the other blocks in the block area.
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 objects by color, size, shape, and texture.
Library- Students
are invited to look at our classroom books and discuss what they see with their
peers.
Writing- Students
will be able to write letters in shaving cream and discuss how it feels.
Sensory- Sand
and water, or play-doh.
Some of the books we
will read this week are:
Our Five Senses by Aliki
