Week of 2/25

Hello Koala Bear PM Families!
 
The Koala Bears made sense of a lot of things this week when we learned about…The Five Senses! Here are some of the sensible things we did:
 
Theme: 

• The Five Senses

​Books We Read:

• You Can't Smell a Flower With Your Ear, by Joanna Cole
• The Five Senses, by Nuria Roca
• My Five Senses, Aliki Brandenberg

Centers:

• The Koala Bears learned all about each of their five senses. They were so fascinated to learn that even animals have five senses too!
• We used our sense of touch when objects were hidden in a box and each student had to find different items inside using only their hands. No peeking allowed!
• Using different types of materials and cardboard, we created a textile board. Some words to describe our materials are hard, soft, fuzzy, rough, and silky.
• Using their sense of hearing, the Koala Bears identified sounds by shaking wooden boxes filled with different objects, and tried to identify two matching sounds. They also played a few rounds of Sound Bingo!

 
Person of the Week:

• Maite!
• We had a great time learning about Maite's family and reading about Little K's adventures.

Letter of the Week:

• B! A “B”eautiful letter!

Dates to Remember:

• 3/15 Last day of school before Spring Break!

 
Have a great weekend!
