1st Grade Science - The 5 Senses

Imagine, you just came home from school and you HEAR your mom ask if you want to help make cookies. You walk into the kitchen and the first thing you SEE on the counter is all of the ingredients. Mom tells you to wash your hands before you start to help. You FEEL the slimey soap and warm water hit your hands. Now that your hands are all clean you can help mom mix all the ingredients together in the bowl. After mixing it all together you make the dough into little balls and place it in the oven. A few minutes go by and you start to SMELL the delicious chocolate chip coming to a finish. Now it is time to TASTE the yummy cookies you made!
