Today we finished learning about the five senses. After our morning routine, we sat down and read about how the sense of touch works. We then took turns touching lots of different objects and describing the way they felt. We made a chart so we could see all of the descriptive words we used. I also had the girls go find objects that felt different ways. For example, I said, "Go find something that is soft," and the girls had to come back with their own object that matched the description I gave them.
Next we moved on to learning about taste. The girls had fun looking at their taste buds on their tongues and talking about all their favorite foods and why they like them. Then they got to try samples of the three out of the four tastes. We tried sugar for sweet, salt for salty, lemons for sour, and we skipped bitter. Check out Sophie trying the sour lemon! Zoe kept getting stuck on the texture instead of the taste. She said the sugar and the salt were scratchy.
At the beginning of the month we traced Sophie's body. We have been adding the body parts as we learn about them, and we've also added descriptions of how the body works.
We ended our lesson with this idea I got from The Mailbox. We decorated a hat (a la Dr. Suess) with the rime -and. We then added -and words. These will be Sophie's spelling words for her test next week.
