Sensory education

These are exercises in perception, observation, fine discrimination, and classification that play a major role in helping our children to develop their sense of logic and concentration. They begin at age three and lay the foundation for later work in science, geography, sociology, music, art and other areas where skills in observation, sorting, patterning and classification are important.

 Discrimination of length, width, and height
 

 Discrimination of volume
 

 Discrimination in multiple dimensions
 

 Discrimination among color tones
 

 Discrimination among geometric shapes for shape and relative size
 

 Discrimination among solid geometric shapes by sight and touch

 Solving of complex abstract puzzles in three dimensions
 
 Discrimination of intensity and nature of sounds
 

 Discrimination among musical tones
 
 Discrimination of texture by touch
 
 Discrimination of weight by touch 

 Discrimination of temperature by touch
 
 Discrimination of scents

 Which, in the older students, lead to such exercises as:

 Precise observation of the natural world

 Culinary discrimination
