 Hi, this is one way I like to teach about the five senses. The five senses are taste, see, hear, smell and touch. Today I'm gonna work on the sense of smell. First I always start each sense with a song. And here is the song. I use my nose to smell, I use my nose to smell. Everybody will use their nose to smell. Then we like to give a little sniff and practice smelling things. And after we learn that song, we have our scent bottles. So you can use a little jar, you can use a box, you can just use something in your hand that you really like to smell. I have little bottles. So each child will get a chance in a small group, maybe two or three students with me to smell what's in the bottle. Sometimes I'll put some vanilla or some cinnamon, something familiar to them. And they can squeeze the bottle and a little bit of that smell comes out in the air. And then they have a chart that practices graphing that is smells good with a smiley face to help them remember what good means and smells bad with a sad face just so in case they forgot. And then they can smell their bottle and then if they thought it smelled good, they can color in the smiley face. And then they can close the lid, practicing with their fine motor skills, the closing and opening. And then they can take a new bottle and then they can squeeze it. This one smells pretty bad. So they're gonna fill in one first smells bad. And I put things that I know they won't like. So something like vinegar, I know will burn their nose a little and it's just gonna make them sneeze. So they're gonna smell it. And then they'll say, oh, I don't like that. Other things that they don't like is maybe coffee. It's very strong. And then they can talk with their friends. They can talk with me. This one is stinky. This one smells like my feet. This one smells like bread. They can tell me all these words about describing vocabulary, what they thought. And then after they filled in their chart, they can also take this around the classroom with their friends and show them, oh, I had one, two things that smelled good, but one of them smelled bad. And it gives them a chance to experience smelling in a more controlled way.
