Students will know that touch is one of the Five Senses.
Students will know different textures of objects.
7. Lesson Beginning:
The trigger song will be played to signify the start of the five senses unit. The teacher
will start a conversation discussing by asking What body part do we use to touch?
The teacher will then tell the students that this book will describe different textures that
we are able to touch.
The teacher will read the book
8. Instructional Plan:
After the read aloud the students will be dismissed to their table by table color. As they
are walking back to their table, the teachers will pass out the necessary objects and the
hands the students will be using.
The teacher will then tell the definition of texture. (This word along with the definition will
be pasted on the palm of the hand.)
One each of the fingers there are five different words for texture. These included Soft,
Smooth, Rough, Hard, and Bumpy. The students are going to touch the objects so they
know what they feel like. The teacher will then ask the students Which one of these
objects is rough? The teacher will call on two or three students to get their answers.
The teacher will then give the appropriate answer after the class has come to a
consensus. The teacher will repeat this procedure for each of the texture.
o Differentiation:
The teacher will add pictures, if necessary, to the different types of textures if the
student does not understand the word.

o Questions: List key open-ended questions you are going to pose in each activity.
Consider Blooms Taxonomy as you write your questions.

walk to their rows for the days sing-a-long.
The teacher will then play a video titled Touch! A Five Senses Song
