Senses packet
By Joy

Clip to ScrapBook   
I do a sense a day and have a page for each sense in the packet. For sight I have them draw (and write for those who can do invented spelling) things they see.
For smell, I do a blind smell test where two kids buddy
up and pick out of familiar smells in a box at their table like paint, wood, crayons, etc and they write if they got them right or not.
For taste I have a sheet with the word bank for the parts of the tongue (salty, bitter, sweet, sour) and we try lemon, brown sugar, salt, and coffee grinds on the four parts of the tongue to see where they taste it best and then label a tongue with
the word bank words.
For touch I do feeling boxes like the other person that wrote.
For hearing I bring in different instruments from the music room. We talk about the different instruments and hear their sounds. Then I do an eyes closed test where I play an instrument and they draw them in the order that they are heard.
