In Sesame Street season 45 episode 1, titled "School for Chickens," the gang from Sesame Street sets out to teach some chickens how to read. Farmer Grover is in charge of leading the class, but he quickly realizes that teaching chickens isn't as easy as he thought it would be.
The episode begins with Elmo and Abby Cadabby walking down Sesame Street when they hear a strange noise coming from a nearby coop. They investigate and discover a group of chickens clucking and pecking at some books. Elmo and Abby are surprised to see that the chickens are trying to learn how to read, but they quickly realize that the chickens could use some help.
That's when Farmer Grover comes on the scene, eager to teach the chickens how to read. However, he quickly discovers that teaching chickens is no easy feat. The chickens are easily distracted and quickly lose interest in the lessons. Farmer Grover tries everything he can think of to keep the chickens focused, but nothing seems to work.
Just when it seems like all hope is lost, Elmo and Abby come up with an idea. They suggest that Farmer Grover make the lessons more interactive and engaging for the chickens. With their help, Farmer Grover comes up with a series of fun activities that not only teach the chickens how to read, but also keep them entertained.
Through these activities, the chickens learn to associate different sounds with different letters, and eventually learn how to form words. They start with simple words like "cat" and "dog," and progress to more complex words like "butterfly" and "dragonfly." Each time the chickens successfully read a word, they earn a treat, which keeps them motivated and excited to learn.
As the episode progresses, the chickens become more and more proficient at reading, and Farmer Grover becomes more confident in his teaching abilities. By the end of the episode, the chickens have developed a love of reading, and are eager to continue their studies.
Overall, "School for Chickens" is a fun, engaging episode that teaches kids the value of perseverance and creativity. Even when things seem impossible, with a little bit of ingenuity and teamwork, anything is possible.
