Today, students used their senses to feel a monster!

We had 4 different bags that contained a monsters teeth, brains, eye balls and fingers. Students did not know what was each bag. 

The monsters teeth were popcorn kernels, the eye balls were wet cotton balls, the fingers were baby carrots and the brain was noodles!

Students closed their eyes and put their hand in each bag to feel the different textures and described each one.
