Five Senses

     This week our theme was the "Five Senses." We learned about each of our senses and how they help us throughout the day. We were able to go on a nature hike through the Kuse Nature Preserve near our school! We saw leaves that had changed colors, a deer trail, birds, and heard crickets and the wind blowing through the tall grass. We made a touch and feel book to help us describe textures of things around us. We also made a fruit scented book to help us test our nose's sniffing ability. Our letter of the week was the letter Yy. 

     Next week our theme will be "Fire Safety." During this week we will make a fire scene and decorate a Dalmatian. We will talk about what we need to do to be safe and prepared  in case of a fire. We will even have a visit with a real firefighter and get to see a fire truck up close! Our letter of the week will be the letter Ff.
