The Five Senses!

We have been very busy this week learning about the 5 Senses! On Monday we used our sense of smell to identify three mystery odors. We used learned that our memories on life are connected to our sense of smell. Certain smells trigger certain memories about places, people or events! The mystery smells that we uncovered were vanilla, coconut and peppermint! On Tuesday we discovered our sense of touch and used just our hands to make guesses about a mystery object that was hidden in a sock! Yesterday we played Auditory Bingo and listened to many common noises and identified them! And today we discovered our sense of taste! Miss S and Miss Fisher taught us about our tongues and the four tastes that our taste buds taste! Sweet, Salty, Sour and Bitter! We learned the areas on the tongue that have the most taste buds and we learned how our sense of smell is connected to our sense of taste! We taste tested a variety of foods: gummy worms, skittles, cocoa powder, pomegranate juice, lemon, chips, popcorn, etc. We labeled a diagram of the tongue with the foods we tasted! Ask your child about it! Great job Miss S and Miss Fisher!
