Helen Keller Preschool Lesson

Today we learned about Helen Keller. We read a book ("Young Helen Keller: Woman of Courage ") all about her and the amazing things she did even though two of her senses didn’t work.

We played a cold/hot game with the blindfold on so they could get a tiny glimpse at what life is like without vision. We did a few of the favorite activities from last time (freeze dance and touching game). The kids finished up their five senses books (they worked really hard on these) and had a wonderful time!

Five Senses Preschool

Today at preschool we learned all about the five senses.

Seeing, tasting, smelling, hearing, and touching!

First we tried taste testing: Sweet

Sour

Bitter

Salty

Then we tried mixing sweet and sour together to try some lemonade...much better!

Then we did freeze dancing to use our sense of hearing (a very entertaining experience)!


Then we played, "I Spy With My Little Eye...." and tried to guess what everyone was thinking of while we used our sense of sight!


Then we tried our sense of smell by smelling cinnamon, vinegar, vanilla, and molasses.
To try out our sense of touch we closed our eyes and reached into a bag and tried to figure out some common objects were without looking at them. They were pretty good at it!

We also spent some time working on a project, which they will finish up next time to bring home.
We missed you Maylie and Bradford...hope to see you Thursday!
