Trip to Leslie Science Center's "Sensing Nature"



 Kindergartners used all five senses to explore and investigate the wonders of nature.  Our program coordinator, Stefan, was knowledgeable, interesting and fun!  He led us through many activities including a "feely" box exercise, a taste test, partner sound recognition challenge, a "spot the metal animal in the tree" eye spy game, and of course up close and personal observations and handling of lots of adorable critters in the Critter House.  We also pretended to assist a baby skunk that attempted to smell out its mom!
We ended our visit with lunch and a fun-filled play date at Eleanor's house before returning to school.  






                              Feeling!

A snaky sense of touch!











         Tasting! 

Critter Room & Classroom!



Deer you hear me now?


Our sense of touch compensates for our lack of sight!

We listened and found our sound match partner!
