The Five Senses: Sight and Hearing

We started our new theme by learning about our sense of sight and our sense of hearing. The girls had fun using flashlights to see how our pupils adjust to the light. They talk about it every time we come inside. Zoe especially loves to point out that our pupils are getting tiny when we go in the sun and then how they get soooo big now that we are inside!

When learning about our sense of hearing, we did a fun activity where the girls sat facing away from me. I had gathered different objects (a xylophone, an egg shaker, some jingle bells, a toy phone and a toy pepper grinder) and had the girls use their hearing to guess what each item was.

One day we did the letter "G", which the girls decorated with gold glitter and goldfish crackers.
We also brainstormed words that start with the letter "g".
Sophie's copy work for the day. She is working on being able to write her full name by herself. She can do her first name no problem, but she still has trouble with her last name - she usually gets the first three letters before she has to look.
