Group, Setting, and Activity Name: Setting : Bright Horizons I work in Preschool classroom with 5year-old children Activity Name : "My Five Senses Scavenger Hunt" This lesson plan is developmentally appropriate for preschool children as it aligns with their Natural curiosity about their surroundings and the way they perceive things through their senses. It is essential for young children to explore and experiment with their senses as they learn about The world around them. This activity will provide opportunities for hands-on exploration, Observation, and critical thinking.

Introduction: I will begin the lesson by reading a book about five senses “Hear a Pickle: and Smell, See, Touch, & Taste It, Too ” by asking children if they know what our five senses are and why they are Essential. I will then explain that we will be going on a scavenger hunt to explore and observe Our senses. Connecting to previous knowledge: I will connect this lesson to children's previous knowledge by asking them to share any Experiences they had where they used their senses. For example, they might talk about smelling Flowers or feeling the texture of a pet's fur. Implementation: Introduce each sensory station and explain how it works. Give each child a scavenger hunt worksheet and explain the instructions. Allow children to explore each sensory station and find an item related to each sense. Encourage children to discuss their observations with their peers and compare their sensory Experiences. As a group, review the findings and discuss any similarities or differences. Support for All Learners: To meet the needs of all learners, I will provide additional support for children with special needs Or limited English proficiency. For example, I will provide picture cards or verbal prompts to Help them identify sensory items. Additionally, I will make sure to have materials that accommodate sensory preferences, such as different textures or scents. To avoid bias, I will not assign roles based on gender or cultural stereotypes. Closure: I will reflect on this lesson by asking children to share their favorite part of the scavenger hunt
