MAKING SENSE OF OUR SENSES

These past weeks we have focused on our healthy teeth and heart, and what we can do to keep them healthy. The unit on the senses provided many hands on activities and experiences which led to a sensory awareness.



We welcome our new friend, and introduce him to snack time.



Shake, shake, shake. Match the two that make the exact same sound. Harder than it sounds.

Sometimes we use more than one sense to enjoy our surroundings. Here we have a rock band singing,"I Like Myself," a song we learned in class.

Some of the contents in our bottles were bananas, pickles, onions, and chocolate.

Maybe if the bottle is closer to my nose, I can smell it better?????

In these pictures we could only feel or touch to guess what was in the gloves and the socks.

No one minded taste testing this treat. Students guessed the flavors of jelly beans, and learned what part of the tongue sends messages to the brain to tell it this is sweet and yummy.

The students learned which foods were good for your teeth and which ones weren't. We discovered the good foods for your teeth were also good for your heart.

We learned more about teeth with Dr. Jenkins and his puppets. Thank-you for your information and our bags of goodies.

With a real stethoscope, we could hear our hearts beating. Lub-dub, lub-dub.

Whether it was Lincoln logs or real timber logs, our creations look fantastic!!!!!!
