5 Senses

This week we learned all about our 5 Senses and the letter X. 

What better way to learn about our senses than to play some games that used each one. We used our sense of sight and played Eye Spy. We used our sense of hearing and played a game where we had to guess what was making each sound inside our mystery box. We used or sense of taste when we tasted sweet, salty, and sour foods. We used our sense of smell when we smelled 4 different cups and decided what was in each one. 

To finish off our week we created a silly little bear to help remind a how we use each sense.

For jobs this week we made a Xylophone X and we placed the colorful bars in order from biggest to smallest

We made x-ray x's and we also placed the bones in order from largest to smallest

We painted with different flavored paints to create pictures we could smell

We created flap books by cutting out pictures and placing them under the sense we could use for each one.

And we sorted different sized bones into small, medium, and large columns

X-Ray, 5 Senses, and Health Oh My!

 This week learned all about our Bodies. Our letter is X and since there are so few words that actually start with and X what better way to learn about our bodies then to learn about X-Rays. We also learned all about our 5 senses and being healthy to make it a well rounded week.

Monday we learned about our bodies and what is inside them. We learned that X-rays are special pictures taken of the insides of our bodies that show our bones. After learning about X-rays we made our own X-rays of our bodies. Everyone cut out bones to create their own skeletons to go on the inside and they drew a self portrait for the outside. 

Tuesday we learned about our sense of sight by playing Eye Spy and then we made our 5 Senses Bear with bells on his ears, sandpaper on his paws, googly eyes, gum for his tongue, and cotton balls with lemon scent to smell. 

Wednesday we learned about our sense of hearing by playing a game where I hid different I objects and the students had to guess what the object was from the sound it made and then we made moroccos out of plastic eggs, beans, and plastic spoons. 

Thursday we worked on X-ray X's

We also learned about our sense if smell by smelling different cotton balls and guessing what each smell was. 

Friday was our favorite day because we had another special snack, but this time we had some work to do. We tasted an apple, potato chips, pretzels, teddy grahams, ritz crackers, and m&m's. 

For jobs this week did a lot of fun activities. 

We made Xylaphone X's

Played an eye spy game where the rude at had to find the pictures on their card and circle the matching picture on their game board.

Cut out pictures and matched them with the sense they went with

They felt balloons and tried to match what was inside with the picture on their board

Then they placed corn cobs in order from 1-10 and then placed the correct number of kernels on each one.
