It's Carnival!!
Look at us... The children were very excited and we couldn't actually have much done but...Thank you PC, for the great after school party!
Sensory Walk
We went to the duck pond for a Sensory walk; we saw snow and some animals; we smelled smoke from the highway and chocolate from the chocolate factory; we felt the cold air and touched snow; we heard some birds and cars passing. When we went back to school, we tasted hot tea. Nice and warm...

Kindercity - continues...
At Kindercity, our children have done a tasting and smelling workshop and visited the "wissensweg" (the senses center). A lot of interesting facts for the children to explore and learn!
Touching
Hands on textures, "our super senses" sign and a Feely wall... all different activities to permit touching!
Senses - Tasting 3
More tasting... fruit salad with Miss Helga (our German teacher) and fresh lemon juice. Look at the happy chefs...
Senses - Tasting 2
We are tasting... with Stefan (thanks for coming again!), we tasted all different sorts of things and flavors. We also did some tasting of our own: we baked brownies. They tasted yummmmy...The children also had fun playing the senses bingo.

Senses - Tasting
Our 3rd sense is: tasting. Did you know that we have more than 3000 taste buds in our tongue and 4 different tastes? So, the children had to taste and decide if they were sweet, salty, sour or bitter. We've made really funny conclusions...
Language lesson
Learning sight words. Here is how we do it: playing the "around the world" and the "tic tac toe" games. Our "kigas" love it!
Senses - Smelling
Stefan (Lukas' dad) came to the class to help us inquiring about the different smells and how we know what we have smelled. We've learned so much... Did you know, for instance, that smells have colors?
Senses - Smelling
We've made our own perfume. We even got a name for it: "L'eau des fees." It smells like... well I think you should come over to try it. The children were proud of this. If you want to know more, check our "Senses Journal". We also played games like: "can you guess these smells". The kids had to guess (blindfolded) what they were smelling. Funny!
A Math lesson
Maths is fun... we use uni fix cubes and other manipulative.We are doing addition and subtraction.
Children inquiring about senses
Seeing and hearing... 2 of our super senses. Children inquiring at the sensory center.

Senses, senses, senses
Our senses... Children see the world with special glasses and they play the "Blinde Kuh" game.
Parent Involvement
It is always very nice to have parents cooperating with anything going on in the class. This time, they came to tell us how they celebrate Christmas at their home countries. Interesting! Thank you again...
\the winter show and new unit of inquiry: Super Senses
The Winter show took place on December 12th, where all classes have participated. It went really nice. Thanks to all the parents that helped us in this.Our new unit: Super Senses. It has been so great. Here we were learning about Sight. What would we live without this sense? Very interesting...
