It Feels Like Spring: How We Experience the Seasons Through Our Senses PDF

Lesson summary:

After listening to the book, “Naomi Knows It’s Springtime” by Virginia Kroll, the students will consider how Naomi experiences springtime, and how they experience springtime with the senses they have. Then, they will further explore the tactile experience of springtime objects combined with a Math lesson. 

The students will begin to understand that we all experience the world through the senses we have even though our senses may differ. 

Literature centered on a disabled main character will set the tone for inclusive lessons in various subjects so that disability, diversity, inclusion, and accessible, welcoming environments are portrayed as ordinary parts of everyone’s life.
