5 senses continued........

We learned about the last 2 of the 5 senses this week.....touch and hearing.

We had some bags filled with different objects that we had to stick our hands in and try to find the matches by just feeling....no peeking allowed.

We learned about the letter 'O' this week.  We had fun with an O ring toss and making our cheerio O's.

We also learned about the penny and the nickel.  Here we are counting our pennies.

We learned about different textures this week.  The textures we talked about were soft, hard, smooth, rough, squishy and bumpy.

For some of our hearing object lessons, we had containers filled with different materials (rice, corn kernals, beans) and listened to the different sounds each made.

We also listened to story readers. Who doesn't love to read (and hear) a good book!

And, we made these wonderful quacking ducks!  (I know you love them :))

To make them quack, just dampen the sponge with water, and run the sponge down the string.

We also played with Mr. Potato head and friends.  We have now finished our five senses and what better than to give Mr. Potato all of his parts.....eyes for seeing, ears for hearing, nose for smelling, mouth for tasting, and hands for touching!

We learned our days of the week song this week.  We will begin practicing our program next week, so watch for your child's part to come home and please help them start to memorize their line. Thanks!!
