At our hands-on science day we explored our five senses- by tasting, feeling ,smelling, listening, and looking. The kids tasted many different items, lemons, sugar, pickles, pretzels, sweet tarts and chocolate. We talked about the different taste buds that we have and how each section of our tongue is used for different tastes. The look on their faces when they tasted the lemons was priceless. We also used our noses to determine what smells we were smelling. I think my room smelled like vinegar for a couple of hours afterwards. I am so grateful to all you parents who come in to help with these experiments, as you can tell they really enjoy science day! So thank you so much for your commitment to our class.
This week coming up in class we will talk about Dental health. February is dental health month and I have some activities planned that are centered around our teeth. We will also start our unit on Dr. Seuss. His birthday is March 2, We've got some Seuss activities planned for the end of the week and into the following week. We will be watching the movie "The Lorax" (the old version of course, but I can't wait to see the new version at the theater) which has a wonderful lesson on appreciating and respecting the world God created for us , as well as how important trees are to our lives.
Well thanks for checking in.... Send me a note and mention the next movie I will be seeing at the theater and your child will receive a sweet treat!
