Blue Point Students Learn the Five Senses

As an extension of their classroom work, kindergarten students at Blue Point Elementary School in the Bayport-Blue Point School District learned about the five senses during an in-school program with the Long Island Center for Arts and Science.

During the program, the students discussed each of the senses and how they are used to interpret the world around them. They also learned about the heightened senses that some animals possess and how they aid their survival in the wilderness. Additional topics included how individuals with diminished senses successful navigate their surroundings.

At the end of the event, students created sheets of Braille and learned several phrases in sign language.
