sensory laboratory nursery Educational proposal through the 5 senses
The child's kindergarten receives and responds to all messages through the "self" and therefore through the whole body.
The child is constantly immersed in a world made of various sensory stimuli (visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, gustatory)
E 'is therefore necessary to accustom the child to recognize and discriminate between different stimuli, and help them to good use, creating exciting educational experiences.
The project stems from a desire to accompany the children to explore the 5 senses and thereby the acquisition of perceptual skills and the ability to express feelings and emotions
This workshop also was born from the need to highlight, through recreational activities, numerous capabilities that allow the child to express themselves creatively through the use of the 5 senses.
The route will originate from stories and nursery rhymes are easy to understand and storage that will allow children to live through the manipulation of sensory experience, verbal language, graphic activities - painting, the "experimentation".
The sensory sphere is closely related to the affective sphere, therefore, the activity will take place on a route that involves both knowledge of reality, objects, materials, but also the emotional participation taking into account the feelings, expectations and desires.
will be a cross-cutting methodology involving all fields of experience-based Proposals for recreational-type motor based on the principles of "doing to learn" and "learn to turn." Purpose
Development, control and maturation of the sensory system, highlighting any sensory deficits in both diagnostic and emotional.
Time Every Tuesday from 10 am to 10:30 am. During the months of December, February and April, at Christmas, Carnival and Easter will be made two additional monthly lessons for making sweets in the classroom. At Christmas, we will prepare the "gingerbread man" like the cartoon Shreck, to prepare the carnival frappe and chocolate Easter egg packaging.
