Our senses: Touch, see, hear

We are talking about our senses.
Today we played some senses games.
We had a feely bag filled with nature objects.
We talked about shape, texture, hard/soft, rough/smooth, hot/cold.
We answered questions and took guesses before finding out what was in the bag.

Next we had a hearing "find the shell" game.
One child went outside the door.  When he came back again we clapped slowly if he was far from the shell and we clapped more quickly if he was close to the shell.  This was a fun game.

Lastly we put on a blindfold and got a friend to help lead us around the classroom without bumping into things.  We also tried using a sight stick.  We are glad that all of our senses work so well!
Teacher found some medicine at home that has Braille writing on it.
She brought the boxes to school so that we could try reading the dots with our fingers.
Reading Braille is very difficult, it is not like the reading we do in our class.
It is great that we can all use our sense of sight and touch.  We are very lucky!
