Description

The program Our World - A Special Place has been designed to allow students to use their senses in an exploration of the natural environment. In the classroom, students discover how useful their five senses are by listening to a story about the senses. Students then focus on a special place of their own and use their sensory recollection of the place to describe it either verbally or by drawing a picture. The in-class exploration is followed by a field study of Planet "E", where the students use their senses and observation skills to explore an outdoor setting. As observation skills are sharpened, the participants have an opportunity to gain a greater awareness of how interesting the world is.
