We officially finished studying Five Senses today with a sticker sort, which demonstrated what the students have learned during the course of the unit. Before this culminating activity, students engaged in a few hands-on activities. First, when they were exploring their sense of sight they looked through both magnifying glasses and kaleidoscopes, and illustrated what they saw in their Five Senses Notebook.

Students also used their five senses to describe a banana. Below is an example:

On Monday, we will begin our Owl and Bat Unit by finding out what students already know about these fascinating animals.

During the course of the unit, we will chart what we learned and note any misconceptions we may have had.
