2 week unit- Five Senses

 The Five Senses Unit is always a favorite in Pre-K.   We had a blast learning about each individual sense and also how we can use more than one sense at the same time.   Ms. Glass, our JSU intern, taught our unit and did a great job!   I know that the students really enjoyed all of the hands on activities during the unit.  
The students learned by using the Five Senses glove!
We used our sense of sight, touch and hearing when we used our SmartBoard.  This week the students played alphabet bingo.   We had to listen very carefully to match the letter sounds.  They are doing a GREAT job!   Most of the students have learned all letter sounds!

In the writing center, the students used sensory bags to write letters.   The sensory bags were made of lotion and paint.  They smelled so good! 

The students categorized shapes.   They used their sense of sight and touch.

QR codes are always a hit in our classroom!  We listened to videos about the Five senses. 

Smelling jars are always included in our unit.   It was one of my favorite activities as a child.  


The students created a Five Senses Big Book.   Each day, they cut out pictures that represented the sense of the day.

We used our sense of touch to feel items in our mystery bags.  The mystery bag really forced us to use only one sense.   It was a little tricky!

Andrew is showing off his Five Senses boy!  We hung our work in the hallway.

We used herbal tea bags to make the letter T!   Our room smelled so good...and so did our paper!!! 

We also had a taste test.   We tasted salty, bitter, sweet,  and sour.   Can you guess which was the class favorite?  SWEET! 

Kaylan's face after she tasted sour!! 

We made eggs that held different items.   We had to match the sounds.

We wrapped up our unit by taking a Five Senses walk around campus.  We used our binoculars that we made to look at different things.

  1. Love Luc's "Tea-Bag T." And Kaylyn is totally photobombing Luc in that picture! Lol. Was that strawberry tea? Luc said something about strawberry tea when he showed me this.
    He wants to talk about the five senses every day.

  2. Wow!! All these kids are so cute. The one in third pictures is looking like my son. Well my son goes to Phoenix preschool and he learns a lot of new things there. I feel it is the best school for my kid.
