Five senses

This month, our unit of study is the five senses, and many of our activities - academic and play - are centered around this theme. Whether it's a game matching an object to its sense (cat = touch, rose = smell) or a song describing what we see, smell, taste, etc., this unit is reinforced throughout each day.

Today Mrs. Connie got out the musical instruments, and we played "Guess that sound." They closed their eyes as Mrs. Connie brought out each instrument and played it; then she'd hide it behind her back while they tried to guess it. Items included a drum, jingle bells, maracas, cymbals, and a triangle! After each sound was identified, the children were able to spend a short amount of time playing the instruments (Some were shorter than others ... 14 3-year-olds banging cymbals for 30 seconds is a very. long. time.) ;)

Fun with cymbals!

Ringing bells!

Stay tuned to see what we did next! Here's a hint ...

It may look like a simple coloring project, but it's much more! :)
