Dear Families,          

I apologize for the temporary hiatus.  We finished up our Dr. Seuss unit and know we're learning about the five senses.  We've been idenifying different body parts (eyes, nose, mouth, tongue, ears, hands and fingers) and how each of the body parts has a special sense (seeing/sight, smelling, tasting, hearing, and touching/feeling).  We explored various objects from our environment; such as food, toys, and musical instruments to see which senses we use when the objects are manipulated. 

This past week we learned about our sense of touch.  We hid different toys inside socks and had to guess which toy was inside.  We touched a variety of textures and used different adjectives to describe them; such as bumpy, smooth, hard, soft, wet, dry, hot, and cold. 


This week we are learning about our sense of sight.  We're mixing primary colors and making predictions about what new color we'll make.  We will use our knowledge of textures from last week to play an ISpy game and we will practice our positional vocabulary and memory to find the missing object in a sequence.
