Five Senses Sorting for Pre-K and Kindergarten Students

Here's an activity your littles will be sure to enjoy!  This 13 page resource comes with 5 mats that you laminate and 30 cards that you cut out (5 for each of the senses) - SIGHT, SOUND, TASTE, SMELL, AND TOUCH.  Students look at the picture and word on the card and decide which of the five senses categories that it belongs in and place it on the correct mat.  

You could start out with 12 cards and two mats, or give your students all 30.  This game/activity is best played in pairs when you use the full 30 cards!

Introducing Computer Science to Kids with Google's FREE CS First Curriculum

I am so excited to try these clubs with our students in the Hazelwood School District.  My first club will be held at Twillman Elementary in a wonderful teacher's room who always lets me try new things and trusts me to introduce technology to her students and integrate technology into her lessons.  Google's CS FREE Curriculum has several Clubs you can use with your students to teach them coding. 

These are the seven that I chose to start with the kiddos in our district. 

Storytelling - Students use computer science to tell fun and exciting stories. 

Friends - Students are encouraged to make friends in the club and use computer science to start a business together. 

Fashion and Design - In this club, students are introduced to how fashion and design are used in the computer science industry.

Art - In this lesson, the students create interactive artwork and designs, as well as learn how to use photograph filters.

Social Media - In this club students learn how to create social media applications and games.

Sports - Here they get to make their own sports commercials and create commentary for a sporting event.

Music and Sound - In this club they use the computer to make their own musical notes and create music videos.

All of the materials you need for your students are FREE from Google.  They come with a teacher's guide of solutions, a passport, a club signage poster, a roster sheet, and badges students can earn throughout the club by completing various tasks.  

There are other CS subjects, but you will have to head to their page to check them out.  Click on the link below to get these resources for your classroom to use with your kiddos!

If you have used this curriculum, I would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and/or ideas you had to make it smoother for me and our district!
