- Extended Day 4′s – Wow! This week was full of science and fun! We discovered all 5 senses, sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste, through different experiments!
- Sight- We used different color glasses to look and find different objects in the room! We always played “I Spy” in small groups!!
- Hearing- We played an interactive game between two teams! We played different sounds for the teams to guess what the sounds was! It ended up as a tie!!
- Touch- We had a blind touch test experiment! Blind folded, the students had to touch different objects and describe what they were feeling! They then had to do guess what the object was! This was so much fun!!
- Smell- With their eyes shut, the students had to smell different spices to see which scent they liked the most and which they liked the least! Ask the students how they felt about nutmeg!! Seemed to be the number one least liked!
- Taste- We tasted bananas, raisins, lemons, and pretzels! Ask your child how their taste experiment went!
