I was commenting to a friend this week that I can't believe the difference I'm seeing in my daughter...just in 2 weeks of working on our units. It's really amazing to see how she "sponges" up the information and just enjoys all of the fun things I plan. Even if they only last 20 minutes (max) until we have to move on to something else, it's sticking with her and she's learning.
We enjoyed reading many books (which we'll read next week too), playing with the rice table (sense of touch), labeling our body parts (overall senses), eating tomatoes from our garden (sense of taste) and probably our favorite activity of the week, our nature walk (overall senses).
The park was a great way to start the walk...seeing lots of other kids and listening to what they were saying.
Then we made our way to the ducks. We loved hearing them quack, smelling the grass, trying to touch them, seeing the daddy's "fight" for the bread and tasting the bread (more than sharing with the ducks).
We are excited for next week where we get to go more in depth with some of our five senses. Already my daughter can "point to her ears, nose, head, eyes and mouth" when asked. I think that's pretty good progress for week one!
How has your week gone? Any suggestions for activities with the 5 senses?
