Five Senses

We explored our five senses this week. We touched several different textures and made a texture collage, we talked about things we like to see and made binoculars, we smelled mysterious things and guessed what they were and painted noses with smelly koolaide paints, we tasted mysterious foods and guess what was put in our mouths, we listened to noises and guessed what we were hearing and we painted ears with cue tips.

Snowman week

We had a fun week with snowmen:
-We read "Snowmen at Night" and the kids decided what is was their snowman would do at night, then we made melted snowmen like at the end of the story.
-We made snowmen out of marshmallows and ate them
-We read "The Hat" and acted it out with all the characters and then a made a special hat to go on top of our big snowmen.
-We drew snowmen at night with chalk on black paper.
