Senses
By Jenn

Clip to ScrapBook   
When I student taught it was in a first grade setting. I did a unit on the five senses. I did a lot of activities that were hands on. I had a hands on bulletin board that the students loved.
( I bought it from the
teacher's store).
-When I taught smell I bought small tubberware and cut slits in the top. I filled each container with a different object. (lemon, onions, maple syrup, etc) The children used their sense to firgure out as a small group what was in each container.
-Hearing. I made a tape with all differet noises that they would know such as the phone ringing, the car horn, a doorbell,
water running, even the toilet flushing. THey loved it and learned a lot.
-Touch. I filled containers with all sorts of objects and even included food. The students put their hands in containers that could only fit a small hand.
THese are just a few ideas that I used for my unit. If you have any questions just email me.
