My Body, My Senses & Movement
Objectives
- D03.S1.02.01 Match each of the five senses to the body part that does the sensing and describe one thing each sense tells us.
- D03.S1.02.02 Notice where a feeling shows up in the body, such as a fast heartbeat when excited, and name the feeling.
- D03.S2.02.01 Combine movements in a sequence, such as running and catching or hopping and turning.
- D03.S2.02.02 Throw, catch, and kick a ball with developing control using both hands and both feet.
Essential questions
- How do my senses tell me about the world, and how does my body tell me how I feel?
- How can I move my body with control, alone and with others?
Big ideas
- My five senses each tell me something, and my body sends signals I can learn to read.
- I can combine movements and throw, catch, and kick with growing control.

Unit 2 — My Body, My Senses & Movement
Overview
This unit returns to the body, building on Grade 1’s naming of body parts and Kindergarten’s five senses. Learners match each sense to the body part that does the sensing and describe what each sense tells us, notice where a feeling shows up in the body (a fast heartbeat when excited), combine movements into a sequence, and throw, catch, and kick a ball with developing control using both hands and both feet. The body is honored with dignity and joy, and the wide range of bodies and abilities is welcomed.
Essential questions
- How do my senses tell me about the world, and how does my body tell me how I feel?
- How can I move my body with control, alone and with others?
