This Week in JK

Our 5 Senses

We have enjoyed studying our senses over the last two weeks. Here, students are using their sense of smell. They were asked to smell the liquid in the cup (vanilla, lemon juice, coffee) and decided whether they thought it was a good smell or a smell they didn't care for. They were very good at guessing what each item was.

We also studied the sense of touch. Students used their hands to play with play dough in the sensory center. They also got to take home a block of clay at the end of the week.

Field Trip to the Dacotah Prairie Museum

What did our land look like before Groton was built? Miss Mary taught us all about wildlife on the prairie many years ago.

There is an exhibit at the museum dedicated to the history of our local football teams. We got a chance to see old jerseys and helmets and even pretended to be announcers at a football game.

Miss Mary showed us many different animals, some of which we knew and some of which we had never heard of before.

Here are two fancy dinner guests at the "Ward Hotel and Diner."

Even more guests came to join in the fun.

We even visited an old fashioned bank.

 We also pretended to be engineers and passengers on the railway.

Thank you Miss Mary for teaching us so many incredible things this year. We will miss you tons, but hope to visit you at the museum this summer with our families!
