5 Senses

Today at my center the children experimented with hearing by using plastic eggs that were filled with various items.  The children took turns shaking the eggs and predicting what was making the sound that they herd.  The children recorded their findings on a recording sheet.

At another center the children used their sense of sight.  They used the binoculars they made on Tuesday to go on a hunt around the classroom looking for letters.  Once they found a letter they recorded it on their recording sheet.  Using the world around us to teach letters is very effective, for they are everywhere.  This activity also encourages the children to take notice of their environment.
