Students cut the sandpaper into squares and punch a hole at the top of each square. They put a piece of yarn through the hole to make a necklace. Students verbally express what a cinnamon smell reminds them of. In the center of each flower, glue a cotton ball or fabric dipped in aromatic oil or extract. Children display their flower garden and describe it using appropriate vocabulary related to the senses.
Students write descriptive words on butterfly cutouts and hang or staple around the flowers.
At the Drama Center, the students pantomime smelling different smells such as flowers, smoke, mud, perfume, dirty socks, rotten eggs, etc. One of the students pantomimes one event, and a partner guesses what the smell is. They take turns. Our nose helps us know more about the world we live in than we do when we just touch things and people or just see them. We say that some things smell good and that some don't.
