Touch and Blue water slush

We had one last sense to learn about this week for science. We talked about touch and the different things that they like to touch. The kids said they love to touch animals, their clothes, blankets and their moms and dads. I had a different item in each bag and they had to describe to the class using adjectives of what the object felt like. Then the class got to guess what was in the bag.  A lot of them did a great job describing their object and were able to help them guess the correct answer.

Also this week we talked about animals and things that live in the water. For cooking we made a blue slushie that was our water and then the kids got to put fish inside their water to eat at the end. It amazes me how every week that we make something they think it is the best thing ever! They really loved this recipe so I included it for those of you that would like to make it at home. You can use any flavor of kool-aid. I just used blue raspberry to make it the color of water.
