Letter Y, Yell "Yes" for our Senses

Daily Question: Do you know your five senses?

Toys: Play Kitchen, play foods, wooden food puzzles, and Wooden cookie set, (Hungry, Hungry Hippo games, Operation, and Dr. Drill and Fill).

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!



We read about our five senses and played several games.

Seeing: We sang "Do what I'm doing" and the children got a turn leading. Everyone had to use their eyes to see what to do!

Hearing: We had many Easter eggs filled with different items. We listened to the items and guessed what was inside. It was hard! We only got one right (including me!)

Touching: we had a bag filled with random items. Each child got to stick their hand in the bag and describe what they felt. They then guessed what item it was. 

Smelling: we used our noses outside! 

Tasting: snack!

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

They were very good at coming up with Y words!

X the Fox and Y the Yak pages will be completed and put in our ABC books.

Show and teach!

We miss our classmate Raegan and drew her pictures to send her in the mail!
