Our 5 Sesnses!

This week our unit was I am Fantastic from my Nose to my Toes. We talked a lot about how wonderful and unique each child is and we discussed our 5 senses! The children are doing so well in Circle Time! The first week our circle time was very short (about 5 minutes) their attention is growing so quickly we are almost at the point of doing a full Circle Time! This is amazing!! They are enjoying singing many of our Circle Time song. He are some fun shots of us singing our Peek a Boo song!
In Art this week, we worked on a Texture Collage. We discussed how different all of our materials felt.We also made a 5 senses book!When we talked about the sense of taste, we had lots of fun tasting many different things. We tasted some salt and vinegar chips, unsweetened baking chocolate, and lemons! But of course we had to end our food sampling with some Hershey's Kisses!


When we discussed the sense of smell, we were able to smell different scents. We then graphed our favorite. Can you believe that Moth Balls were the winner??




If you come to our room and it smells like moth balls, there is a very good reason why! We (Cassie and Jen) had some fun hiding moth balls (which are VERY strong) is some of the other teachers rooms. They are out to get us now...we have been finding them ALL over our room. Cassie even found some that were tossed in her purse :) In Centers this week we worked with these Nuts and Bolts.We played in our Dramatic Play center in the kitchen.We worked very hard on matching colors with the Color Game.We also worked with Play Dough.We have said it before but, one of the main things that we work on in the 2's class is our independence. They are doing great! Here are some pics of a sweet friend cleaning up some spilled water at snack time and some friends opening their own food! Much Love, C & J
