Five Senses Workstations

Workstation #1 Taste and Smell:

The kiddos were asked to try four different kinds of ice cream (each kid got a small spoonful). Then they were asked to smell the spoonful and then taste it. 

Next, they needed to write down there guess on what flavor it is. 

Most kids said this was their favorite station... I wonder why?????!?!?!?!?!?????

Layne's Mom was helping with this station. Making sure everyone got to taste the ice cream.

 

Workstation #2 TOUCH:

This station is where the kiddos made touch boards. They were asked to glue different textures to their paper. Many of the kids enjoyed all the different kinds of things there were able to feel at this station. 

 

Workstation #3 TOUCH (again):

This one was called Block in a Sock. The kids had to use their hands to feel for a shape that was inside each sock. Next, they were asked to draw the shape on to the paper. 

Hayden is feeling for the block. 

Mia is drawing her shapes. 

 

Workstation #4 Sight:
This is the station where the students made sight boards. They were asked to find different kinds of colors, hues, designs, and patterns to add to their paper. It was loads of fun when the sparkly glue came out! 

 Workstation #5 Hearing:
At this station the students used their ears to listen for sounds they could hear on the stereo. I set up a tape with different sounds on it.  Each student had a worksheet and they had to put an "X" on the pictures that matched the sounds they heard. There were 12 different sounds. The kids loooooooved listening and using the big blue earphones! 

Dean's mom helped out at this station. 

Here is our classroom busy at work. It's so great to see all the kiddos engaged and working hard at learning about their senses.

A Big Mahalo to the Moms and one Grandma that helped out on Wednesday!!!
