The Gingerbread Man ran to the ___________.
We
measure with Gingerbread Cookies to see how long
items are in our classroom!
Using
our Sense of Smell we smell Pine, Mint, Vanilla, and Cinnamon.
We record
on our data sheet if we liked the smell,
thought it was okay, or disliked the smell.
The students LOVE the surprising smells!
Using our
Sense of taste we have a Holiday tasting
party! Be sure to have your students check
out their taste buds in the mirror!
We taste the following items: cider, candy cane,
nuts, and chocolate.
I place
objects to feel in little stockings.
Students reach in and record on their data
sheet what they think they feel! I like to
use shapes in my stockings...as this
reinforces shape recognitions.I
stick in a block (square), peppermint (circle),
crayon, plastic cookie cutter, and a pretend
present.
For
experimenting with our Sense of hearing I
have the students close their eyes and
listen to some sounds I make.
