English Parent Letter

Dear Parents,

Today we learned that by using our five senses we can learn more about the world we live in. The book we read today was, My Five Senses by Aliki. In this book a boy is talking about how he discovers all the things in his world by using his senses. At the end of the book he says, "Wherever I go, whatever I do, my senses are working. They make me aware." When you are together with your child ask him/her, "what senses are you using? What have you discovered?" You may use the following vocabulary when asking you child about what senses he/she is using:

1. different, same
2. sight: eyes, see, shape, low, high, color, size
3. smell: nose, odor, strong
4. hearing: ears, loud, soft, sound
5. touch: skin, hard, rough, smooth, cold, hot, feel, texture
6. taste: tongue, sweet, salty, bitter, sour, cold, hot

We are making a friendship fruit salad. Please send in one cup of your child’s favorite fruit on ______________________. It could be canned fruit or fresh. If you are sending a banana or any other fresh fruit, please do not peel it and cut it up. We will do it when we make our salad.

Thank you very much!
