         <description><![CDATA[<div>The theme of this unit is the 5 senses. It is important for children to understand their bodies and how we use them to experience the world around us. This unit is designed to teach children higher order thinking skills such as observation, comparing and contrasting, and categorization. It is also an excellent way to introduce new vocabulary that can be used in every day life as well as future academic settings. As students engage in read alouds, centers, and other theme related activities they will learn more about their own abilities as well as characteristics of different objects.&nbsp;<br><br>PK3.I.A.3 Child begins to show awareness of own abilities.&nbsp;<br><br>PK4.VI.A.1 Child observes, investigates, describes, and discusses characteristics of common objects.&nbsp;<br><br>PK4.VI.A.3 Child uses simple scientific tools to learn about objects.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>These centers are designed to promote child directed play. Each morning, the teacher will spin the wheel to decide which group goes to each center first. From there, each group will spend 15 minutes in their center before rotating to the next in line. <br><br><strong>Sensory Play: </strong>This is an ideal center choice for a unit on the 5 senses. Children will be able to focus on their sensory perception of objects as they play in sensor bins.&nbsp;</div><ul><li>Materials: Rice, beans, funnels, beach shovels, bags of shaving cream, water, bathtub toys, etc.&nbsp;</li><li>Guidelines: PK4.I.B.1.b Child takes care of and manages classroom materials.

PK4.II.D.3 Child consistently understands (receptive) and uses (expressive) new vocabulary acquired through books, conversations, and play.</li></ul><div><strong>Play Dough: </strong>In this station, children will use their hands and sense of touch to create shapes and objects out of colorful playdough.&nbsp;</div><ul><li>Materials: Playdough, shaping tools, molds, etc.</li><li>Guidelines: PK4.I.B.3.a Child sustains attention to personally chosen or routine (teacher-directed) tasks until completed.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The teacher will create the "Jungle" by scattering yarn balls, beanbags, and other soft items around the floor. Students will then be grouped into pairs and one student will be blindfolded and must cross the room without stepping on any of the items on the floor. The other partner will be tasked with giving oral instructions on how to get to the other side safely. The instructions might sound like: “Take a big step to the right. Now walk forward 2 small steps.” This activity is designed to promote oral language skills as well as practice listening and following directions while reinforcing the theme of the use of 5 senses. By removing the sense of sight, students must rely on other senses to complete the task.<br><br>Guidelines: PK4.IX.A.2 Child coordinates sequence of movements to perform tasks.&nbsp;<br><br>Adapted from: https://www.ssww.com/blog/5-pe-blindfold-activities-for-elementary-school/</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>For this activity, students will step from one bin to the next and experience the sense of touch while moving. The teacher will ask questions as they walk to encourage the students to think about and discuss the textures that they are experiencing. This is a great way to incorporate the vocabulary words for this unit. For example, as they step on black beans they would discuss how they feel hard and then compare that to the water beads that feel cold and squishy, etc.&nbsp;<br><br>Guidelines: PK3.IX.A.1 Child masters basic skills of running, jumping, climbing, and pedaling. PK4.IX.A.1 Child demonstrates coordination and balance in isolation.&nbsp;<br><br>Adapted from: https://teachingmama.org/sensory-walk-exploring-the-sense-of-touch/</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The class will conclude this thematic unit with a field trip to a children museum such as the one linked above. This will be an immersive sensory experience where children can observe a range of new sights, smells, tastes, feelings, and sounds. To prepare the students for the trip, I would show them images of the museum for a few days leading up to the trip. I would discuss with the class how we will change our daily routine to be able to go on this sensory adventure. </div>]]></description>
