In this unit, “The Five Senses”, students will be introduced to each of the five senses that we have such as sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.

Students will be diving deeper into what each of these senses means and what we do with each of them. They will explore each of the senses in daily activities and be able to describe how the five senses help people, and recall facts about each of the body parts in which we use the five senses.

Students will also be introduced to icons Ray Charles and Helen Keller to explain diversity within the five senses.
