5 Senses!

This blog has been neglected...I apologize!  I forget how busy the "fall time" of year is!  It is by far my most favorite season, but it seems like there's so much going on!  At the beginning of October we spent a week learning about our 5 Senses:
SMELL with our NOSE
SEE with our EYES
HEAR with our EARS
TASTE with our MOUTH
TOUCH with our HANDS

I am amazed every year how well Kindergarteners do with this topic and how they are great about remember their 5 Senses.  We even talk about if we are missing one of our senses how hard it is to carry on with our daily activities and how we would have to do things differently.

To kick-off our unit we sat in a circle and air-popped popcorn!  This was definitely a highlight!  As the popcorn popped we had a class discussion about what we saw, heard, and smelled.  Once the popcorn was finished we discussed what we tasted and felt like!  We used all of our 5 Senses to pop popcorn!!   

Some other 5 Senses Activities we did was sorting real objects by their 5 senses, watched a 5 Sense Brainpop Video, made a 5 Senses Book, and sang a 5 Senses Song!!
