Yell "Yes" for Our Senses

Daily Question: Do you know your senses?



Toys: Play Kitchen, play foods, wooden food puzzles, and Wooden cookie set.
It never fails to amaze me how creative children are. Preston was bored and so he was "hiding" under a black bean bag. The other children saw it and Susie suggested a game of "Charades." Children took turns being various animals: turtle, wolf, lizard, etc.


Snack Time: Popcorn, clementines, and chocolate Zingers.
I explained that today we are making microwave popcorn because we are studying our Five Senses--hear, touch, taste, see, and smell. We had fun hearing the popcorn, smelling it, seeing it, touching it, and then tasting it! Yum!



Eva's Birthday Celebration: Our youngest class member turned two! We had fun ALL making wishes and blowing out her two candles. Eva loves Elmo's World, preschool, her family, to climb and to draw.


Some fun comments from our circle discussion on Popcorn:
How does it feel? "Like butter on my fingers!" said Hugh. "Bumpy!" said Preston. "Smooth in some places."
What does it taste like? "Popcorn and butter!"
What does it smell like? "Delicious!" smiled Preston.
What does it look like? "Candy! (?)" said Susie. "Yellow! Like bananas or butter," suggested Hugh.
What does it sound like? Popping noises and crunching with our teeth.

"Hey! There is an ant down here."

"I can see my shadow!"

We reviewed X the Fox who had to get x-rays
and Y the Yak who liked to play with a yellow yo-yo.

X the Fox and Y the Yak pages will be completed and sent home with the students on Wednesday.
