We played a memory game to test our sense of sight.

 We learned that our eyes are like a camera that takes a picture and sends a message to our brain.

Here is a sample of our sound matching containers.  Mrs. Brockhaus put things in the mystery containers, and we had to match them to the pictures by listening.

We are learning the Sign Language Alphabet.  Sign Language is a way that people communicate when they cannot hear.

We made sound waves and felt the vibration of the waves on our lips with wax paper.  We could tell the difference when we made low sounds (daddy sounds) and high sounds (baby sounds).

Another fun thing that we did with sound waves was create our own "musical" instrument.  We filled glasses with different amounts of water.  The deepest water made the lowest pitch, and the one with the least water made the highest pitch.  Mrs. B promised to teach us more about this in music class.

This is our smell game.  Again Mrs. Brockhaus filled mystery containers with smells.

 We had to match the smells to pictures without peeking into the containers.

When we learned about our sense of smell, we painted with Jell-o.  It was fun and made our room smell great!

We put our sense of touch to work by reaching in the Feely Box and trying to guess what was in it.  We tried to give our friends clues to guess what we were holding.

Friday, we finally got to test our sense of taste!  We all enjoyed the 'salty' treat.  'Sour' wasn't so great for some of us.

Others liked it.

Only one of us enjoyed the 'bitter' treat.  I was told, "Mrs. Brockhaus, this is gross!"  I had to agree.  I don't appreciate unsweetened chocolate much either!

Bitter' chocolate is icky!!  Bring on the 'sweet' chocolate kisses.

Here's our graph of favorite tastes.  Which had the most?  Which had the least?  Were there any equal?

Here are some sentences that we wrote about our senses.  Our word of the week was "my".
