What We Did This Week: (Nov. 28-Dec. 2)

This week we were learning about the letter

Cc and our 5 senses. We did lots of cool

experiments to understand our 5 senses

a little bit better. The kids really enjoyed

the taste and smelling experiments.


Exploring our sense of taste:

Georgia likes the sweet taste of syrup.

The sour lemon juice had mixed reviews.



Ava thought the lemon juice was too sour!

The turtle table explores the bitter taste of

vanilla extract.

Sweet: syrup

Bitter: vanilla extract

Salty: salt water

Sour: lemon juice

Ask your child which one they preferred. :)

Mariah works on her 5 senses paper.

Jayden explores the sense of touch

while writing his passwords in shaving cream.


Exploring our sense of smell with smelly jars.

Salma smells the vanilla extract. Mmmmm

Zoey didn't like the smell of garlic.

Emmy writes down her smelly jar predictions.

The kids had to smell the jars and make predictions

about what they thought they were smelling.

Most were correct but a few kids got the syrup

and smell of vanilla mixed up.



Center time:

Georgia and Tyler spell out their passwords

as they beat the drum.

Salma traces the cookie cutters

and then writes Cc words in the midde.

Check out the FANTASTIC Independent Study Character Projects:

I was blown away! The kids got to present their projects

in front of Mrs. Petty, Mrs. Nelson, Mrs. Stewart and Mr. Degar.

They got rave reviews!

Somehow a congo line started in my room this morning...

Everyone got to take their picture

with the turkey and a pilgrim.

Earlier in the week, we made headbands.

I opted out of using real feathers and we water colored

our own feathers instead.

(fyi: more and more birds are being killed

in order to keep up with the high demand for feathers...

so we went with the animal friendly version)
