We read the book Lentil by Robert McCloskey in co-op today. The fifth graders split from the rest of the group and went on location to a building site to learn more about architecture and how a house is built. I taught the younger children, so I can't tell you much about what they saw or talked about beyond these pictures.
The younger kids learned about Veterans' Day and wrote an acrostic poem entitled Freedom to give to a vet. Then they explored their 5 senses at different learning stations.
Listening station - sound bingo
Touch station - match the shape game (by reaching in a bag and finding the missing puzzle piece only by touch)
Smell station - smell and identify scents inside paper bags
Sight station - Matching game
Finally, the taste station we did together. We used a soft candy cane to suck the lemon juice from a lemon.
Hopefully I can get pictures soon. Since I sent my camera with the 5th graders, I will have to bum pictures from one of the other moms. ;)
