Week of October 23rd, 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:
• My Five Senses by
