Our theme this week is based on the five senses. Our story for today was titled Forest Friends Five Senses. How do you use your five senses, and what do you do if something goes wrong with them? The forest friends — Hawk, Rabbit, Bear, Skunk, and Squirrel — know, and their stories show children what happens when a sense needs a little help to work better. When Hawk bumps into a mountain, Owl prescribes glasses. When Skunk catches a cold, Owl gives him syrup to help him smell again. And when Squirrel gets a paw full of thorns, Owl pulls them out and Squirrel learns to be more careful about what he touches!
Today we had two centers based on the sense of hearing. At the first center the children played sound bingo. Various sounds were recorded on a CD. Miss Sue played them one at a time on our laptop. The children listened to each sound and found its corresponding picture on their Bingo board. At my center the children experimented with hearing by using plastic eggs that were filled with various items. The children took turns shaking the eggs and predicting what was making the sound that they herd. The children recorded their findings on a recording sheet.
