"...we moved on to learning about the Five Senses. We spent almost two weeks feeling different textures and talking about the sense of touch. It seems as though the children enjoyed this segment of the senses the most so far. They loved feeling the slimy inside of a pumpkin as well as crinkle paper, foam paint, bioputty, and more. It is fun for them to learn hands on about touch, and we encourage you to continue to explore this sense with them at home when you come across an interesting texture they may or may not have encountered before. Second, we explored the sense of hearing. We listened so well to all sorts of sounds. Traffic out of our window, instruments in out class, and voices are just a few of the noises we listened to. We talked a lot about noises that are soft, medium, and loud. Then, we moved on to the sense of sight. We are still learning about how we see with our eyes. To help understand this, we played games like Hide and Seek and I Spy. We also watched paint change colors when we mixed certain colors and looked through blocks of different colors to see how they change what we are looking at. We are looking forward to exploring the last two senses (taste and smell) over the upcoming weeks." Jill, Teacher, Green Room News, School for Friends
