Five Senses 2

After lunch, while I'm making Jello for Joy School, Luc comes up to me and says "If we are talking about our bodies again in Joy School, I don't want to join." I told him that it was okay with me but I was still going to do it with Hailey. Luc looks at me and says "fine but I will still have Jello!" Ha! That's the catch, I explained, the jello is for Joy School. When Joy School started, Luc was definitely there and involved.

Tuesday was the second part of the senses discussion. I had flannel board cut outs of the senses and we played a game to guess what the missing sense was. Generally, Luc is more outspoken and quicker so Hailey surprised me a couple of times when she answered correctly before Luc.

We focused on our sense of touch. I had ice cold water in one cup, hot water in another, a piece of sandpaper, the prickly weed from outside, flannel, a rock, and glue that we supposed to be sticky.
Then they helped me make pudding and was able to paint with it.
Luc was mostly busy with eating it.
Then I had paper bags with different items for them to use their senses to guess what it was. Since Luc saw the jello early, he kept saying Jello for each bag. I got annoyed with that quickly.

Finally, to end the day, they got to cut out shapes in the jello and eat it with their hands while I read a book. Hailey wanted snowmen and Luc wanted stars.

It was a fun lesson and I had almost everything already expect for the second box of Jello of a single flavor.
