This week we learned all about our bodies - inside!  We made diagrams of a few of our important parts!

Our 5 senses- Touch Away!

Our 5 senses activity this week was Touch!  We got to guess what we were touching inside each bag and use descriptive words to tell each other what it felt like.  We heard some fabulous words like slimy, soft, mushy, powdery, and gross!

 Here are the things we got to touch:  a banana, an apple, flour, spaghetti, a furry skunk and the shaving cream is missing from the picture.

Our 5 Senses

This week we had a fabulous time exploring some of our senses.  We started out by examining the sense of sight.  We got to play Eye Spy!  Next we explored the sense of hearing and played the game "what is my sound."  The kids were WAY too good at this!  I thought I had put a few hard sounds in there!  On Thursday we studied the sense of taste by having a tasters table.  We tried 4 different tastes:  sweet (fruit snacks), bitter (chocolate), salty (popcorn), and sour (lemon) and then we tallied our results.  

Here are a few picture perfect moments from our "sour" lemon tasting.

Inside Our Bodies!

We had a fantastic week learning about our bodies inside.  We learned that our skeletons are very important in helping us stand and walk and move.   We got to see real x-rays of bones and put together a skeleton.   On Thursday, we painted our skeletons and I am so impressed with how amazing these preschoolers can listen and follow directions!  I know you can enjoy your own child's art work but I thought you might find it as funny and interesting as I do how CUTE these skeletons turned out!  We watched Mrs. Gillespie paint each bone and then made our own.  (the top one is the teachers - I never claimed to be a great artist - just that we would get to paint :)
