Weekly Senses Agenda Slides

A dynamic three-session outdoor preschool STEM unit that blends early physical science and engineering with heavy-work sensory integration and gross motor challenges. Cadets explore propulsion, terrain navigation, and structural engineering across hands-on mission stations.

A hands-on early childhood science exploration lesson where older toddlers (36–48 months) investigate natural textures and living things aligned with TN-ELDS S.37-48.1.

A 12-slide visual presentation for Transitional Kindergarten guiding learners through autumn changes, the rain and water cycle, community helpers, and polite everyday manners.

A multi-session outdoor preschool STEM sequence combining space exploration with sensory regulation, heavy work, and calming transitions. Young learners explore propulsion, geology, engineering, and orbital motion through whole-body outdoor play.

An authentic early childhood science lesson for preschool children aged 37 to 48 months exploring physical properties aligned with TN-ELDS Standard S.37-48.1. Children engage in hands-on sensory stations to feel, compare, and describe real-world natural textures and weights.

A 2-page teacher accommodation and differentiation guide detailing targeted instructional strategies for 36–48 month toddlers with diverse learning needs, including sensory avoidance, sensory seeking, dual language learning, motor delays, and attentional pacing.

A comprehensive five-day early childhood science and literacy unit exploring the apple life cycle. Students investigate seeds, sprouts, mature trees, blossoms, and fruit through hands-on inquiry, structured sequencing, and sensory-supported classroom routines.

A hands-on collection of weather clothing sorting activities where early learners classify wardrobe items across various weather conditions such as sunny, rainy, hot, cold, snowy, and windy.

A 2-page family engagement and take-home exploration guide that extends toddler tactile science inquiry from the classroom to home and neighborhood walks, featuring a scavenger hunt, conversation starters, and sensory safety tips.

An active, sensory-focused Pre-K curriculum unit where young children explore key science, math, and self-awareness topics. Through physical play, fine-motor tracing, and dramatic roleplay, students discover the marvels of the world and themselves.

A hands-on, accessible science lesson exploring climate change and coastal salt marshes for diverse learners. Students investigate how salt marsh grass and mud protect shorelines and capture carbon through multisensory slides, interactive activity mats, and tactile sorting games.

A 3-page set of printable classroom station display cards and tactile cue cards for older toddler sensory exploration. Features tabletop station signs with educator facilitation prompts, gesture cues, and cut-and-sort visual vocabulary cards in English and Spanish.
