Glasses and Sense of Hearing

February 23, 2012 - Another great day at our little park in Virginia. It was pretty bright, so Reed and Eve wanted to sport their sunglasses. Reed was especially excited because he got new sunglasses! All-in-all a successful day.

February 27, 2012 - I taught preschool on the sense of hearing. Can I just say how much I love teaching about the 5 senses? I think it's one of my all-time favorite things to teach. There are so many things to talk about and experiment with. The kids always have a great time - especially at this age because they are just so curious about everything! Well, we started off just playing. They all had a blast!

Then, we talked about the letter W and decided to make one with our bodies. :)

Our shape was a circle and we tried that with our bodies as well. It did not work quite as well as the W, but it was still fun.

We experimented with different instruments, rhythms, and also played a game where they guessed what something was by what it sounded like.

We made banjos out of paper plates, rubber bands, and stirring sticks (the ones you use for paint). The kids loved decorating everything and playing their banjos after it was all done. Great day!
