WEEK 6: 1,2,3 COUNT WITH ME
Our focus this week is one to one correspondence, simple addition/subtraction, and basic multiplication/division (grouping)
WEEK 7: SENSORY EXPLORATION
Seeing, touching, tasting, smelling, and hearing are the most common senses that we use everyday! Have you ever heard of the streognistic sense? The stereognostic sense is the capability of recognising an object without seeing it, hearing it, smelling it, or tasting it! We will be conducting taste and smell tests and exploring our mystery box. OR Blindfold drawings, mystery sound eggs, scented Playdough, taste tests, and homemade finger paint, touch scavenger hunt and five senses matching are all part of the exploration of our senses.
