The Five Senses

  Our investigation with the senses was sparked during a group time where the book Sense Suspense was introduced to the class. The teachers observed how much the children enjoyed looking at the pictures in the book and guessing what each picture was. Following this interest, the teachers decided to do an in depth study of how we use the senses to help us interpret the world.
