The 5 Senses

We did a 5 senses rotation on Monday and Tuesday of Thanksgiving week.  Every kindergarten student received identical lessons presented by each kindergarten teacher.

Mrs. Davis helped us to identify sounds and noises by focusing on the sense of hearing.
Mrs. Campion prepared a taste test with bitter, sour, sweet and salty foods.
Mrs. Bartlett had food in covered jars. The children had to use their sense of smell to identify the food.
Ms. McCluskey taught about the sense of touch by using  feely boxes for the children to identify hidden items in each box.
Mrs. MacDougall brought all 5 senses together as the children built a senses bear.

Learning through work and play!


Applecrest Orchard

We had a wonderful time at Applecrest Orchard.  The children learned a lot about a working orchard and had lots of fun.
