CORE KNOWLEDGE
Five Senses - Students will learn about each of the five senses as well as how we gather information about our environment through the use of the senses. Students will also learn about what happens if the senses of sight and hearing do not function properly. Students will hear the stories of Helen Keller and Ray Charles, two individuals who overcame very significant challenges posed by disabilities related to sight and hearing.
