table gets a turn to feel what is inside.
During this time, the students will write three describing words pertaining to their
mystery object.
They students will get a chance to draw a picture and guess what they think it is.
There will be four bags rotating around the room, labeled A through D.

Bags will rotate when the timer rings and when the teacher tells them it is time.
Teachers will monitor and make sure the bags and their contents are being handled
properly.
o Transitions:
The smallest table will be broken up amongst the other tables so there are only three
groups to work with.
A timer will be set for the amount of time they have either each bag. The buzzer will
sound and the teacher will tell them to pass their bags clockwise around the room.
When all three groups have felt all four bags, the teachers will collect them and the
students will head to the rug for a big reveal.
The students will bring their packets to the wrong where the closure will take place.
