We have so many feelings.
Sometimes we feel happy. Sometimes we can even feel sad.
Sometimes we get really, really excited.
to
speak
And sometimes we can even feel mad.
Do you know how you're feeling today?
now.
Oh, well, today we're going to learn something new.
And sometimes when we learn new things, we can be a little nervous.
But I want you to know, when you learn something new,
you just take your time and learn all about
Okay? How about we sing a song about feelings.
Get ready. Here we go.
I have many feelings, feelings are what I have.
I have many feelings, feelings are what I have.
I have many feelings, feelings are what I have.
Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm sad.
Sometimes I'm silly, sometimes I'm mad.
Sometimes I'm sleepy, sometimes surprised.
When I'm scared of something, I close my eyes.
And you
friends,
today
we're
going
to learn
about
the five
senses,
our five
helpers.
They help us everywhere we go,
and we're going to use each one of them, one by one.
Friends, we're going to see with our eyes.
Hear with our ears, smell with our nose,
taste with our mouth, and use our fingers and hands
to feel.
Are you ready?
Oh, wonderful.
Okay, let's go.
Friends, it's time to use our five senses and explore.
But first, let's go over those five senses.
Let's sing a fun little song.
Follow me.
Eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
Use your hands to touch your toes.
Let's do it one more time.
Are you ready?
Here we go.
Eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
Use your hands to touch your toes.
Let's start with our first helper, our eyes.
Use our eyes to see.
Everyone, close your eyes.
You can cover them with your hands or just shut them.
Open your eyes.
Do you see my, what color?
Red ball.
Do you see my red ball?
Now you see it.
Now you don't.
Now you see it.
Now you don't.
We just used our eyes.
That's one of our five senses.
So we can see the red ball.
Friends, let's go to another helper.
Number two, our ears.
Our ears help us hear.
Everyone touch your ears.
Listen to the sound of my rhythm sticks.
Listen.
Did you hear that?
Good.
Listen again.
That was a little softer.
Did you hear it?
Okay.
One more time.
Listen
again.
Did you hear?
Oh, wonderful.
Okay.
I'm going to tap three times and I want you to try to clap.
See if you can hear your clap and hear my tap.
Here we go.
Did you clap along?
Okay.
Let's do it one more time together.
Here we go.
We used our sense of hearing.
Okay, let's go on to our nose.
Everyone touch your nose.
Touch, touch your nose.
Our nose helps us smell.
Hmm, I want to smell something on my table.
How about this lemon?
The smell of the lemon doesn't smell too much.
How about I smell cut lemon?
I cut pieces of lemon.
They're like slices.
So let's smell the smell of lemon.
Let's smell again.
Oh wonderful! You can give it a try. You smell.
You can try smelling something where you are.
Oh the lemon smells fresh. Now let's use our sense of touch.
We're going to use our fingers
and hands to touch something.
How about my foam?
This foam feels sticky. It's sticky.
You can also use your ears to listen while I touch.
It feels sticky.
That's the foam.
Oh, now there's one more helper, our sense of taste.
We use our mouth to taste.
Can you point to your mouth?
Yes.
Oh, I have two things I can taste here.
I can taste a lemon and I can also taste applesauce.
Let's taste the applesauce first.
I'm going to use a spoon.
Okay, I'm going to use
my sense of taste.
The applesauce tastes.
It tastes. Now I'm going
to taste a slice of lemon.
Lemon tastes sour.
It tastes sour.
I think I need a little more applesauce again.
Mmm, that tastes sweet.
We used our five senses to explore everything on the table.
Friends, now remember, when you're tasting different foods,
always ask your grown-up first.
And only taste things that your grown-up says is safe.
Always want to be safe.
Mm-hmm.
Friends, it's me, Duck Duck.
I wanted to know if we can use our five senses on these cookies.
Can we smell the cookies?
Smell the cookies.
Can we touch the cookies?
The cookies with my beak.
Can we taste the cookies?
It tastes
good.
Can we hear the cookies?
Wait, let me see.
Hello, cookies, can you hear me?
No, we can't hear the cookies.
Can we see the cookies?
Looking at the cookies right now.
Mom, can you see the cookies?
Who can see the cookies?
So out of our five senses,
we can see the cookies.
We can smell the cookies.
We can taste the cookies, we can touch the cookies,
but we can't hear the cookies.
Let's see if Miss Monica can find me.
If she uses her nose to smell the cookies, she can find me.
I smell something.
It smells like cookies.
There are cookies baking somewhere. We have to find those cookies.
Will you help me find them?
Oh, great. I have an idea. Let's go on a cookie quest.
We're going to look for these cookies.
And as we get closer, we'll keep filling up our cookie jar.
Now, friends, since we're going on a quest,
make sure you get your pointers ready.
Or your pointer finger.
Are you ready?
Great.
Here we go.
There's
so many
doors,
friends.
Which door do we go to?
Friends, we made it to this room.
We have to find a cookie key here.
Let's use our eyes to look around.
Do you see a cookie key?
Is it over there?
Key.
Is it up there?
Where is this cookie key?
Where could it be?
What's that?
It's where?
No.
Where?
To the cookie key.
I see it.
The door opened.
Friends, look at that.
Our cookie jar is filling up.
We have one cookie.
We need to get three cookies in this jar.
We have some more work to do.
Come on, let's go.
There's so many doors, friends.
Which door do we go to?
Friends, we made it to the listening room.
We have to use our ears to listen.
And when we hear a sound, the door will open.
But we all have to hear it.
Okay, everyone, cup your ears like this.
Listen.
Do you hear anything?
I don't hear anything.
The door still isn't open.
Listen, friends.
Do you hear anything?
If we don't hear it,
we can't get out of the room.
The door.
Still isn't open.
Okay, listen even harder.
Listen really, really closely.
Did you hear it?
Try again.
Listen.
We
heard...
Look at that, friends.
Our cookie jar is filling up.
There are two cookies inside, but we need three.
That means we only need one more cookie.
Two plus one more equals three.
Okay, let's go.
We have more work to do.
There's so many doors friends. Which door do we go to?
This room friends.
Oh this is the feeling room.
I have to use my sense of touch to feel around
and find the toy cookie and that will unlock the door.
Okay let's get ready. I'll use my hands and my
fingers. Oh my goodness. I'll have to put my hands inside.
What am I feeling?
I think I feel something.
Oh, but it's getting sticky.
Where's that toy cookie?
I have to find a toy cookie.
Toy cookie friends?
It feels like I have clouds in my hand.
I think I feel it.
Is this it?
I have to get rid of all of this fluff.
Oh my goodness.
Is this shaving cream?
I think this is shaving cream.
But look friends, I think I found the toy cookie.
Clean
my
hands.
Our noses led us all the way here.
Actually, our five senses helped us get here.
And look at what we found.
Cookies.
Oh.
Quack, quack.
Look who's here.
It's Duck Duck.
Hello, Duck Duck.
Hello, Duck Duck.
Hello, Duck Duck.
We're happy you're here today.
Hi, Duck Duck.
Hi, Miss Monica. I'm so glad you found our cookie.
Oh, we sure did. My friends and I could smell them all the way here.
Our quest letter's here.
Mm-hmm.
May we have a cookie?
Sure. You can have a cookie, Miss Monica.
Oh, wonderful. Oh, but wait. There's steam coming from the cookies.
Do you see that little bit of steam?
That means the cookies must be hot.
Did they just come fresh out of the oven?
Yes, we just made them, me and the lunch lady.
Oh, wow, they look delicious.
I think we should wait and let them cool down.
Quack, quack.
Can we count while we wait, Miss Monica?
Oh, that's a good idea.
Friends, will you count with us?
Oh, great.
How about we count to ten, everyone?
Okay, here we go.
One, four.
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
Tin!
I think they're a little bit cooler now.
It's safe to try one.
Would you like to try every one?
Wonderful.
What kind of cookies are these, Duck Duck?
We made chocolate chip, me and the lunch lady.
Oh, before I eat them,
I wanna take a big, big smell one more time.
I'll use my sense of smell.
Ready?
On the count of three.
One, two, three.
They smell delicious.
Now we can use our sense of taste.
Our mouth lets us taste.
Let's taste the cookie.
Can you feed me one?
Yes, Duck Duck, one for you.
Here you are.
How did it taste?
Yummy.
Oh, wow.
I'd like to taste one too.
Oh, I'll take
this one.
This cookie is delicious.
Thank you, Duck Duck, for sharing.
Let's share with our friends.
Here you are, friends.
Take one.
Oh, don't take them all.
We have to share with everyone.
Enjoy your cookies, friends.
Oh, Duck Duck, thank you for sharing with us today.
These cookies are delicious.
Well, friends, it's time for us to say goodbye to Duck Duck.
Everyone wave.
Bye bye, Duck Duck.
Bye bye, Duck Duck.
Bye bye, Duck Duck.
We'll see you again soon.
Bye, Duck Duck.
Thank you for the cookies.
Well friends, quack quack!

Friends, we learned that our five senses
are our helpers everywhere we go.
They're kind of like our superpowers.
They help us see, hear,
taste, smell, and touch.
And remember, when you have to wait for something wonderful,
you can count.
Well, I hope you had fun, everyone.
Thanks for coming to the classroom.
It's time for us to say goodbye, but I'll see you again soon.
