Our Five Senses:
Miss Biedl has been teaching us all about the five senses. We learned how our nerves and our five senses are connected and how our fives senses help to keep us safe.
Sense of Smell:
Sense of Touch:
We used only our sense of touch to feel objects placed in a bag and discover what they were. We rotated throughout the room feeling different objects and writing down our predictions. At the end of the rotation we opened each bag to see if our predictions were correct. We found that our sense of touch helped us figure out what WAS in each bag...most of the time!
Sense of Taste:
We learned all about our tongue, taste buds and where we taste sweet, sour, salty and bitter on our tongue. Today we spent some time tasting each of these tastes. We discovered that our face usually shows what our tongue is tasting!
(This is how our faces looked after we tasted bitter, unsweetened, baking chocolate!)
(This is how our faces looked after we tasted sour lemons!)
(This is how our faces looked after we tasted a salty, salty pretzel!)
(This is how our faces looked after we tasted a sweet, sugary gummy!)
Popcorn and the 5 Senses?
On her last day with us, Miss Biedl planned a popcorn Fun Friday! We popped popcorn using a hot air popper. Using all 5 senses we watched, tasted, heard, felt and smelled the popcorn. What a yummy lesson!
Good Bye Miss Biedl! We Will Miss You!
(Miss Biedl finished student teaching in our class right before break. We were so happy to have her with us. We will miss her very much!)

Hello Spring!
We always know spring has sprung when our earthworms arrive. This exciting unit takes students through the process of developing an earthworm habitat, observing their behaviors, learning earthworm anatomy and life cycle as well as becoming aware of how an earthworm benefits our environment. We will be releasing our earthworms into a new habitat at the end of the unit. We've only just begun! Here are a few pictures of the first few earthworm lessons!
Creating An Earthworm Habitat:
(Sharon and Emilee add lettuce to our habitat; food for the earthworms.)
(Athena, Isaac, Jasmine and Josh add wet newspaper to the habitat; also food for the earthworms.)
Observing Earthworms:
More pictures to come...
