five senses - sight
By Cathy-Dee

I thought the post might get too long so I'm breaking it up. I won't do all five tonight but I will finish them up before the end of the week.

Sight
- This one and taste I do not do as centers as it's easier to just
do the activities as whole group activities.
- make 3-D glasses - this one is always fun to do. I have a template and we order in the blue and red plastic to glue on each lens to make them 3-D
- Braille - we re-look at braille and I went to the National Institute for the Blind and was able to obtain a number of braille books for free.
- Optical Illusions - we do this one more as

a class and we look at a variety of optical illusions.

- Camouflage - I have the students find a picture of an animal in a magazine and cut it out. Then they colour and draw a picture that will camouflage their animal.

- This is the one section that I spend some time reading books and showing videos that discuss how eyes work and how to take care of our eyes.

- If you live in a city or large town you might also be able to invite in a blind person who has a seeing eye dog to talk with the class.
