[bright music] - Hi friends, my name is Darlene Thomas and I am so excited to read the story for you today.

The title of today's book is called "How to Wake Up Piggy".

Written by Pingjoing Xu and illustrated by Ying Huang.

After the story, I'll show you how you can pretend that you're helping the author to write another page in the story and act at a scene.

So if you're ready, let's get started.

"Piggy has fallen asleep.

"He has sound asleep, snoring loudly.

"Snoring and snoring.

"The loud snorers wake up all his little friends.

"The little puppy brings a bell and shakes it.

"Tinkle, tinkle.

"The little bunnies grab their gongs and bang them.

"Clang, clang.

"The little hedgehogs hold their horns and blow them.

"Hoot, hoot, hoot.

"The little moles dance and beat their drums.

"Rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub."

"The little frogs open their mouths and croak."

"Ribbit, ribbit.

"Rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub.

"Hoot, hoot, hoot.

"Clang, clang.

"Tinkle, tinkle.

"Ribbit, ribbit.

"But Piggy keeps snoring and snoring.

"How will his friends wake him up?

"Just then, the little ladybug flies over.

"She whispers something into Piggy's ear.

"Dinner is ready.

"Piggy turns over and rubs his belly.

"Is dinner ready?

"So if Piggy falls asleep again "and snores and snores and snores... "how will you wake him up?"

Wow, all of the characters in the book tried so hard to wake Piggy up, but it wasn't easy.

They were trying to get him to use one of his five senses.

Do you know what our five senses are?

Let's go over them together.

We use our eyes for our sense of sight, our nose for our sense of smell, our tongue for our sense of taste, our ears for our sense of hearing, and our hands for our sense of touch.

What sense do you think the characters were trying to get Piggy to use?

Did you say his sense of hearing?

You're correct.

Now at the end of the story, the author asks how would you wake Piggy up?

I'm going show you how you could pretend play being Piggy or someone trying to wake him up and see if you can get him to use his sense of hearing.

Before I get started showing you how you can act out a scene from the story, you can choose to either act out being the snoring Piggy by using your body, or you can create a stick puppet.

And I'll quickly show you how.

All you'll need to create your Piggy puppet is a sheet of drawing paper, a crayon or marker.

In my case, I'm using a marker.

And you'll need to just cut out two circles for his body and two triangles for his ears.

I'm gonna use the cover of my tin.

And make one large circle.

And another circle for his body.

[chill music] Here we go.

You can get a trusted adult to also help you.

Next I'm gonna just make two triangles for his ears.

And we know that pigs have two ears.

I'm gonna draw one and two.

Next I'm going to get a crayon and I'm going to color them in.

Okay, friends, I'm all done coloring in my two circles and two triangles.

It's okay if you go outside the lights a little bit because either you or a trusted adult is going to cut them out.

I'm going to tape these together and add some details like two eyes and nose and a mouth, and I'll be back to show you my Piggy puppet.

I am all done.

I cut out the two large circles for the Piggy's body and the two triangles for his ears.

And then when I was all done, I added some details and taped it to a colored pencil for my stick puppet.

You can do the same at home.

Now if you're playing the character that's trying to wake up Piggy, you're going to have to get a little creative about what items you're going to use to make a lot of noise.

Let's see which items I found around my house that I'm going to use to wake up Piggy.

I gathered some items around the house that I thought would make some noise, so that Piggy can hear it and wake up.

I found these two metal hangers and when you bang them together, they make a chiming noise.

I wonder if that can wake Piggy up.

I also found a tin of some beads that I use in a crafts.

And when I shake it... [beads rattling] It sounds like maracas.

I wonder if that would wake Piggy up.

Well, now I'm gonna show you how I would pretend that I was helping the author to write another page in the story.

Listen carefully, because you are gonna get a turn to try it.

Ms. Darlene grabs two hangers and bangs them.

[hangers clanging] But Piggy kept on snoring and snoring.

Ms. Darlene grabbed a tin of beads and shook them.

[beads rattling] But Piggy kept on snoring and snoring.

Did you get it?

Did you wanna try?

Now it's your turn.

You can find some items around the house or you can use parts of your body to make noise.

What parts of the body would you try?

You can clap your hands.

[hands clapping] You can scream with your voice.

Ah!

Or you can whisper like the ladybug in the story.

Whatever you try, have fun doing it.

Grab a friend, a family member, or trusted adult and take turns pretending to be Piggy or someone trying to wake up Piggy.

Use your body or find items around the house that make noise and have fun using your sense of hearing.

Enjoy, goodbye.

[bright music] - I can't get my daughter to wake up in time for school.

What are things you do to wake someone up?

Oh.

I like those ideas, like appealing to their senses, like making a loud noise or waving something yummy underneath their nose.

All right, I like those ideas.

I'm gonna have to save some of those and try to figure this out later.

But let's get to our work for today.

I'm Anna, and we're gonna do some fun activities today with sounds.

But first, let's get our ears ready and let's add some words.

In order to do this activity, I'm going to say a word and then I'm gonna have you add another word to make a completely new word.

Sounds cool, right?

So for example, if I said the word board and I told you to add the word card at the beginning, what would that word be now?

Well, card, board, cardboard.

All right, you see what we're doing?

Okay, say butter.

Add fly to the end.

What's the word?

Butterfly.

Say pan.

Add cake to the end.

What's the word?

Pancake.

Say foot.

Add ball to the end.

What's the word?

Football.

Okay, now try this.

Listen carefully, say bow.

Now add rain to the beginning.

What's this word?

Rainbow.

Okay, say brush.

Add tooth to the beginning.

What's the word?

Toothbrush.

All right, last one, say fish.

Add star to the beginning.

What's the word?

Starfish.

Awesome.

Today we are going to work with open syllables.

So these are words or word parts where the vowel is making its long sound or saying its name.

So before we can do this, we need to know which letters are our vowels.

So which letters are our vowels?

That's right.

Our vows are A, E, I, O, and U.

Okay, so now let's quickly review their long sounds.

I want you to repeat after me.

Everyone say the long sound of A is A.

Good.

A, A, acorn.

Awesome.

The long sound of E is E. E, E like me.

The long sound of I is I. I, I like hi.

The long sound of O is O. O, O, no.

The long sound of U is U. U, U like flu.

[Anne sneezes] Okay, great.

So today we're only gonna be focusing though on three of these, we're gonna be focusing on our long E sound, which is?

Awesome.

Our long I sound, which is?

And our long O sound, which is?

Beautiful.

E, I, and O.

All right, let me erase these first.

And what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna write some words and we're gonna blend them together knowing that we're working on the long sound of these vowels.

So let's take a look at this first one.

Okay, how would we blend this?

Okay, remember now E is going to be making its long sound.

So it's going to be saying E. Be.

What's the word?

Be.

How about this one?

Me.

Me.

How about this one?

Beautiful.

We.

We.

Okay, let's throw a diagram in there.

What's this word?

Let me hear you.

Good.

She, she.

Okay, so we're doing pretty well with the long E. Let's switch it up and try another one of our long vowels.

Here we go.

How about... Now what is I going to be saying in this?

That's right, it's gonna be saying I.

So what's our word?

Hi, hi.

Okay, now with our long I, watch this because this is gonna help you guys with your reading.

What would this say?

Si.

Si.

Like the word si-lent.

You see?

We were talking about our open syllable working, so it can be words or word parts.

Cool, right?

All right, let's do one more with our long I.

What would this be?

Bi, bi.

Now this is not bi like bye, bye.

This buy actually means like two.

So for example, if I were to pair it with this, we would get bicycle, right?

Like two wheels.

Okay, let's go on to our last one.

So we said we were gonna work with E, we were gonna work with I.

And what was the last?

Does anyone remember the last sound?

It was... That's right.

O, that long O.

Okay, so here we... What's the word?

Go, go.

Here we go.

Okay, that was a little tricky.

Here we go.

What's the word?

So, so.

No, no.

Now let's try this one.

This is a word part.

Let's see if we can figure this one out.

So fo, fo, like the word focus, right?

When you're paying attention to something.

Okay, I have a bonus word for you guys.

Let's see if you can figure this out and I'm gonna help you 'cause I'm gonna break it up for you.

So we have two open syllables.

So how do we say this first syllable part?

He, he.

And then what about the second one?

Ro, ro.

He-ro.

What's the word?

Hero.

Do you see how understanding how these open syllables work can help you read bigger and longer words?

This is so cool, right?

Okay, let's get ready for the lightning round.

You are gonna read some words all by yourself.

Don't worry, I know you can do it.

Okay, just remember we're working on those open syllables, so we're going to be hearing those long vowel sounds.

Some of them will be actual words like hi and go and no, but some of them will just be word parts, but you're still focusing on the long vowel sound.

Are you ready?

Get to it.

Let's review.

Think of our sounds for today, and let's see how you do with these questions.

What sound does this letter make in an open syllable?

That's right, O.

What sound does this letter make in an open syllable?

Correct, E. What sound does this letter make in an open syllable?

That's right, I.

Okay, you ready to read some words.

Go.

Did you say go, si, be, mo, hi, and de?

If you got all six correct, give yourself a high five.

You all did such a great job working with open syllables today.

See if you can find more open syllables when you're reading books in school.

Okay, now remember, this is just one way to help you break up words.

Try breaking it up and see if the open syllable or long vowel sound works.

Well until next time friends, bye.

[bright music] - Hi, my name is Camila and today I'm gonna show you how to play the piano.

And today I'm playing "Fleur Elise".

[piano playing] That's how you play "Fleur Elise".

[bright music] - Hi friends at home.

Look what I have today.

I have a mystery box, and inside this mystery box is an object, and I'm going to use my five senses or some of them to try to figure out what shape the object is.

Let's see.

Hmm, thinking about what I'm feeling, I feel 1, 2, 3, 4 straight sides.

Let me see what else?

1, 2, 3, and 4 corners.

Hmm, I think I have an idea what shape this is.

Let's take a look.

I was right.

It has 1, 2, 3, 4, straight sides and 1, 2, 3, 4 corners.

This sounds like it's a square.

What do you think?

You're right, this pattern notes is in the shape of a square.

Did you guys notice how I used some of my five senses and thought about some clues to help me figure out what shape this is?

Well, guess what?

We can learn more about the world around us by using our five senses, just like I did with this mystery object here.

Hmm, what are our five senses?

Well, just like you saw, I used my sense of touch and my sense of sight.

Those are two of them.

Some other senses that we have are our sense of hearing, we use our ears for that.

We have our sense of smell, we use our nose.

And our sense of taste with our mouth.

So those are all of our five senses.

Seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching.

Friends, you did such an awesome job helping me figure out what shape was hiding inside my mystery box.

I've got another one for you.

Remember, let's use our sense of touch and our sense of sight to help figure out what shapes hiding inside of here.

Let's give it a try.

Hmm.

Ooh, this one's different.

This one feels round.

There are no corners.

Hmm.

No straight sides.

I think it's a circle.

Let's check and see if I'm right.

It is.

We know this is a circle because it's round and curved and there's no straight sides or corners on it.

Did you see how my sense of sight and my sense of touch helps me find some clues to figure out what shape this object is, just like I did before with my pad of notes?

Okay, now friends, let's play a game together.

I'm gonna ask you guys to be some shape detectives, and you're gonna have to use your sense of sight to help me decide if the object I show you is like a triangle.

Let's first try to remember what do we know about triangles?

Well, we know that triangles have three straight sides and they also have three corners.

And another word for corners is angles.

So I'm gonna hold up an object and I want you to remember, use your really good sense of sight and tell me, is this like a triangle?

Let's look at our first one.

This is a pretend piece of cheese.

Let's think.

Hmm.

Triangles have three straight sides and three corners.

I feel three straight sides, and I feel three corners.

I can see that too with my sense of sight.

What do you think?

Do you think this is a triangle?

Hmm?

I think so too.

Great job.

All right, let's do another one.

Take a look at this.

This is a pretend piece of pizza, some of our play food here at home.

What do you notice about it?

Is this a triangle?

Let's check.

Remember, triangles have three straight sides and three corners.

I see one, two straight sides.

I'm not sure about this one.

What do you think?

Looks a little curved to me.

Hmm.

Maybe this one isn't exactly a triangle.

Because of this curved side, I think it's like a triangle, but not quite.

Let's do one more.

This is a pretend piece of cake.

What do you think?

Let's use our sense of sight and let's see.

One, two, hmm, another curved side.

I'm not quite sure if this is a exact triangle.

It's like a triangle.

It only has one, two, only two straight sides though.

I don't think this is quite a triangle.

Okay friends, now I'm gonna show you another shape and I'm gonna need you to use your shape detective skills, your sense of sight to help me figure out if the shape is like a rectangle.

Let's remember what a rectangle is.

Here's an example.

This is a rectangle.

Rectangles have four straight sides and four corners.

1, 2, 3, 4.

So let's see if we can put our detective skills together and see if the shapes I show you are rectangles or not.

Here's my very first one.

I bet you guys know what this is.

It's a phone.

What do you think?

Is this a rectangle?

Hmm.

It has 1, 2, 3, 4 straight sides with two that are longer on top and two shorter on the sides.

Let's check the corners.

One.

Hmm?

Two.

Wait a minute, I noticed something about these corners.

This has a curved corner.

I remember that rectangles, because they have straight sides the corner comes together.

I'm not sure if this is an exact rectangle because it has curved corners.

This might not be a real rectangle.

Hmm.

Hmm, I have another object.

Let's look at it.

[chill music] What do you think?

Let's use our detective skills.

Let's count.

1, 2, 3, 4.

It's got four straight sides.

Let's check the corners.

[chill music] Hmm.

I think I see what you guys are noticing.

This has curved corners also.

This is not a real rectangle.

It's like a rectangle.

But without those straight corners, we can't call this one a rectangle.

Last one.

We're back to this shape.

What do you notice?

It's like a rectangle.

It has four straight sides and four corners.

Do you guys think that this one is a rectangle?

Hmm?

Did you know that squares are a special rectangle?

They have four straight sides and four corners.

Squares are a special type of rectangle.

Friends, can you find anything around you that is a square?

I bet you can.

So today we learned that we can use our senses to learn more about the world around us, like the shapes of objects.

I hope that next time you might be playing at home in the park or at school, you can also use your senses like your sense of sight or your sense of touch to learn more about the things around you.

You might notice some shapes like we did today.

See you next time.

[bright music] - Hi, my name is Suzanne.

My husband Roberto and I have three kids, Ian, Zoe, and Lucas.

My kids and I love to read together.

The kids are in different reading levels, but we make it fun for all of us.

We put the phones away, we each choose at above and read for 20 minutes and then we'll talk about it.

- So paper or himself?

- Yeah, like a paper of himself.

- [Suzanne] Another activity we love is having one of the kids read a book.

- The flowers are beautiful.

- [Suzanne] We act out to make it it fun.

- There can be no spring.

- It's great when the kids can help each other.

- And you know what council means?

- Counsel.

- I love to encourage them to discuss the story.

What do you think is happening?

- The lakes will never melt.

- Okay.

- And neither will the ice.

- [Suzanne] Reading is so wonderful because it is a way that we can get together and make a connection, have a fun time and we learn from each other.

[bright music] - Hi everyone and welcome to the Memphis Zoo here in Memphis, Tennessee.

My name is Devon and I'm an animal interpreter here at the zoo, and that means I have the very special job of getting to help take care of some of the amazing animals here and getting to introduce them to people just like you.

Now I have a pop quiz for you, everybody.

I want you to look around and tell me what can you see?

Now, can you hear anything?

Can you smell anything?

Can you touch anything?

And can you taste anything?

If you answered any of those questions, great job you just used your five senses.

We have five senses.

Sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.

We use our senses to help us learn more about the world around us.

All new information comes from our senses, and just like us animals use their senses to learn as well.

Now our first sense today is sight.

Let's see if we can find an animal friend to help us learn more.

This is our American bald eagle exhibit.

Have you ever heard that someone has eagle eyes?

That just means that someone has incredibly good vision, just like the bald eagle.

They actually have some of the best eyes in the entire animal kingdom.

Eagles are predators, which means that they need to hunt other animals for their food.

They need to have extremely good eyes in order to hunt those predators from above.

Quick everyone, I want you to look to the left.

Now look to the right.

Did you turn your head?

Now I want you to try looking left and right just with your eyes.

Ready?

Left, right.

Were you able to do that?

If you could, you can do something that the eagles can't do.

Eagle eyes are fixed inside of their head and they're unable to look side to side.

So if an eagle needs to look in a new direction, they have to turn their entire head.

Eagles and other birds of prey use their powerful eyes to spot food from high in the sky.

Not only do they have better long distance vision, but eagles can also see in more colors than we can.

That's right.

The human eye can only see so many colors, but some animals can see colors that we can't even imagine because our eyes can't process them.

Eagle eyes may be great, but they have very poor sense of smell.

In fact, most birds can't smell at all.

Let's go meet an animal with a super nose.

Say hello to Toboga, the Madagascar hedgehog tenric.

While he may not have a great sense of vision, he does have excellent smell, and that's because Toboga is another nocturnal animal and he won't be able to rely on his sight to find his food.

Think of your favorite food.

Can you remember how it smells?

What about a really yucky smell?

Gross.

Even if we aren't around the smell, we can sometimes still remember it.

Our senses are so powerful, but how does it work?

Tiny pieces of the environment float into the air and travel up our noses.

Those tiny pieces send signals to our brain to tell us about what we're smelling.

Smell is important because animals need to be able to locate their food and know if it's safe to eat or not.

What's your favorite smell?

Like we learned earlier in the episode, most birds have a poor sense of smell.

Just like my friend Maggie here.

Maggie is a barn owl and she's nocturnal, which means that she's usually going to be awake during the night.

But Maggie can't rely on her nose to find her food and it can be really difficult to see in the dark.

So what sense do you think Maggie uses to find her food?

Can you guess what it is?

It's her hearing.

Yeah.

It may not seem like Maggie has ears, but I promise you she does.

Her ears are small holes on the side of her head that are covered by feathers, but they're extremely powerful.

For owls like Maggie, one ear is higher than the other, which makes it easier to pinpoint exactly where her food is.

That is extremely helpful when owls are hunting for mice and other small animals in the dark.

Our ears are an important sense, but we can damage them if we aren't careful.

It's important to avoid loud music and other noises that could potentially damage our hearing.

As we get older, we can lose our sense of hearing.

So it's important to help protect our ears while we're young.

Now, what was our next sense again?

Hmm.

Oh, that's right.

It's touch.

Touch is one of our most important senses because it helps us to navigate the world around us.

Animals can use their sense of touch in many ways, but one very special way is with whiskers.

Now, do you have a cat or dog at home?

They have whiskers, just like the big cats behind me.

Whiskers are very sensitive.

Light touches can tell an animal if they're close to something, they're so sensitive that they can even tell if there's a slight change in the air.

This helps them to hunt and navigate small places.

But whiskers aren't the only way animals use their sense of touch.

Animals can use their sense of touch all over their bodies, and some animals have special body parts that help them to feel like the lateral lines of fish.

That's a special set of scales that help fish to detect tiny changes in the water.

Insects have antenna which can help them sense objects around them as well.

Next, let's meet a surprising animal when it comes to learning about taste.

An animal here at the aquarium has an amazing sense of taste.

Can you guess who it is?

It's the catfish.

Now everyone stick out your tongue.

Ah.

Our taste buds cover our tongue and they help us to pick up different chemicals to taste, but catfish actually have taste buds all over their bodies.

Catfish live in dark, murky water, so having a strong sense of taste means they can find even tiny amounts of foods.

Catfish aren't the only animals with a surprising sense of taste.

Tarantulas use their feet to taste the world around them.

While tasting may look different in different animals, it's just one more amazing way that animals can learn about their environment.

What are your favorite flavors?

I like salty food.

So far today we've learned that even if an animal has a sense that isn't very powerful, they make up for it with their other senses.

Some animals even have extra senses that we as humans don't have, like Monty here.

Monty, like other snakes, has a special organ at the top of her mouth that can actually help her to basically smell the air around her.

Isn't that incredible?

Now let's go meet some more animals with extra special senses.

Some animals, like bats can use at echo location to hunt their food.

They make a special sound that bounces off their food and tells the bat where it is.

Others like birds can sense magnets in the Earth to help them find their way.

And some animals like snakes can even see an infrared and ultraviolet light, which humans can't see unless we use special tools.

There may even be more senses that we don't know about.

Just like the animals we met today, we use our senses to learn more about the world around us.

We use our eyes to see, our ears to hear, our nose to smell, our tongue to taste, and our hands and skin to feel things.

Remember, we may not all have the same senses, but that's okay.

We all use our senses in one way or another to learn more about the world around us.

I have a question for you, my friends.

What will you use your senses for today?

I think I'm going to enjoy seeing all of the amazing animals here at the zoo.

Thank you so much for learning with me.

Have a nice day everyone.

[bright music] - Hi everybody.

My name's Aaron and I'm here to get you moving.

Today we're gonna learn a dance using our senses of touch, sight, and sound.

You ready to get going?

Let's do it.

Okay, we're going to clap our hands together two times, nice and slow.

Will you count with me?

All right, here we go.

Ready?

And one, two.

[hands clapping] Perfect.

Now we're going to slap our thighs four times a little bit faster.

You ready?

Ready.

And 1, 2, 3, 4.

[hands smacking thighs] Can we put 'em both together?

Here we go.

From the top.

Ready?

And 1, 2.

[hands clapping] 1, 2, 3, 4.

[hands smacking thighs] Good.

Now we're going to clap our hands together two more times, nice and slow.

Count with me.

Ready?

And one, two.

[hands clapping] Good.

Now we're going to feel the ground and march around four times in a circle just like this.

We have 1, 2, 3, 4.

Can you do that with me?

All right, just the stomps.

Ready?

And 1, 2, 3, 4.

Are you still counting?

Great.

All right, here we go.

From the top.

Ready?

And 1, 2.

[hands clapping] 1, 2, 3, 4.

[hands smacking thighs] 1, 2.

[hands clapping] 1, 2, 3, 4.

Awesome.

Now can we do that two times, all together?

So we'll clap, we'll slap, we'll clap, we'll stop and then we'll repeat the whole thing.

Are you ready?

Let's do it.

Ready?

And 1, 2.

[hands clapping] 1, 2, 3, 4.

[hands smacking thighs] 1, 2.

[hands clapping] 1, 2, 3, 4.

1, 2.

[hands clapping] 1, 2, 3, 4.

[hands smacking thighs] 1, 2.

[hands clapping] 1, 2, 3, 4.

Great job everybody.

Thanks for moving with me.

[bright music] - Hello, hola.

My name is Brenda.

[speaks in Spanish] And today we're gonna be learning about the five senses.

[speaking in Spanish] Do you know what your five senses are?

They are touch, tacto.

Hearing, oido.

Sight, vista.

Smell, olfato.

And taste, gusto.

These are different things that our body can do to better understand what is all around us.

Let's do five, cinco, activities, actividades, to learn more about our five, cinco, senses, sentidos.

First we will explore our sense of touch, tacto.

I have in front of me three items that a friend has put in front of me.

I can't see them.

All right here I have, it's a squishy ball.

It's like a fidget toy.

Okay, and it feels like it has, like balls inside of it.

It's really squishy.

It feels kind of funny.

Okay, next it's...

Okay, it feels really smooth and it's hard and it's a little cold.

I think it's a shell.

Yeah.

And finally here, I think I have a stuffed animal.

It feels really soft.

And yeah, I don't know what type of stuffed animal it is though.

Maybe a bear.

No, I don't know.

All right, so let's see.

These are a lot of balls inside a squishy one.

This is really cool.

This is a shell.

It's really pretty.

And then this is a stuffed animal.

It's a giraffe.

I would not have guessed it's a giraffe.

Next I want you to get a piece of paper and also something to write with.

We will explore our sense of hearing, oido.

Oido, hearing.

I want you to get into a comfortable position and we're going to close our eyes.

And after that we're gonna take a moment and listen to the first five things, cinco cosas, that we hear.

[speaking in Spanish] All right, so let's try it together.

Get into a comfortable position.

Close your eyes and let's listen to the first five things we hear.

[fridge humming] [footsteps stomping] [people chatting] [engine rumbling] [car puttering] Okay, we can open up our eyes now.

What are the first five things that you heard?

I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna draw out the first five things that I heard on the piece of paper.

The first thing that I heard was actually the fridge.

[fridge humming] I also heard some walking on the floor above me.

[footsteps stomping] After that I also heard, I believe it was like talking outside.

[people chatting] After that I heard like a helicopter or a plane outside I think.

[engine rumbling] And lastly, I heard a car pass by outside.

[car puttering] What did you hear?

What do we learn when we listen?

[speaking in Spanish] We learn about what is all around us.

We learn that some sounds are louder than others.

Some sounds might even make us feel scared.

Sounds are important because they let us know what is around us and sometimes they can keep us safe or also they can serve as a warning and some other sounds can even make us feel calm.

Sounds can make us feel many different things.

Let's explore our sense of smell, olfato.

Olfato, smell.

We're gonna be looking at some videos and we're gonna pretend that we are in those places that we see.

We have to figure out what kinds of smells are in that place.

This is a bakery and I can imagine smelling freshly baked bread.

Here we see someone is mowing the lawn.

I can imagine the smell of grass.

This place is a park and it's raining.

I can imagine I'm smelling the dirt because it's raining.

All of these smells are smells that I really like.

They make me feel calm sometimes.

What are some smells that you like?

I also like the smell of the food I cook.

And another smell that I really like is smelling books.

Some people like to smell books, others not so much, but there's a smell there that I really like.

Maybe try it out sometime.

Now I'm going to show you some pictures to learn more about our sense of taste, gusto.

Gusto, taste.

We usually taste things that we eat, so let's look at these pictures of things that we might have already eaten before and let's try and guess how they might taste.

This is a green apple and I can feel my mouthwatering.

It's sour.

This is a banana.

I can definitely say that these are sweet.

These are chili peppers.

I know they are spicy.

I usually eat them with food, not by themselves because they're really spicy sometimes.

Next we have these potato chips and these are salty.

I make sure to have some water after eating them.

What faces do you make when you eat something?

What about when you eat something sour?

What face do you make?

I usually go like this.

That's the face that I make when I eat something sour.

What about spicy?

What face do you make when you eat something spicy.

If I eat something spicy, I usually do this and I don't like this with my hand 'cause it's really spicy.

We can communicate with others with our faces to show them how we are feeling.

Our last sense to explore is sight, vista.

Vista, sight.

What are everyday things we see?

The TV, a phone, or tablet.

What about a book or when you look in the mirror?

The light coming through the window in the morning.

Outside we can see people doing their jobs.

Walking.

We also see birds and trees.

I like to go outside sometimes and watch birds.

I like to see the way that they fly, how big or small they are, or just to see what color they are.

I do this activity to not think about so many things that make me upset.

I do it to take a break and to keep calm.

It's really nice sometimes to just be calm and not think about so many things.

Let's review the five senses they are touch, tacto.

Tacto.

Hearing, oido.

Oido.

Sight, vista.

Vista.

Smell, olfato.

Olfato.

And taste, gusto.

Gusto.

Thanks for exploring the five senses with me.

I hope you had fun in doing these activities and I hope you do them with a friend and maybe even teach them some of the Spanish words that we went over.

Thanks again, gracias.

Adios, bye.

I'm very proud of my job because I get to help you when there's an emergency.

I'm a 911 operator.

I'm trained to provide emergency services over the phone.

I can help you stay calm, talk with you about how to assist others, and connect you to other helpers like police officers, firefighters, and paramedics.

911 operators can be located in police or fire stations, an emergency operations center, or other rescue organizations.

You most likely won't see me when I'm working, but you can feel safe knowing I'm on the other end of the phone if you need me in an emergency.
