What do we use to help us learn about things? We use our 5 senses. Ask your child to name their 5 senses for you. You can practice this skill at home by asking them which of the 5 senses we use to learn more about our soundings. For example. How do you know when someone is cooking? We smell it. So, we are using our sense of smell.
