I'm so happy you're here today.
Oh my friends, I need to find my pointer, my Circle Time pointer, so we can review the Circle Time board.
Are you ready?
Great!
Let's start by finding out what day it is today.
Will you help me sing the days of the week?
Wonderful!
Remember, when you sing days of the week, you can clap your hands, you can snap your fingers,
or you can just sing.
Whatever you choose.
Get ready?

Here we go!
Sunday and this Monday, this Tuesday and this Wednesday, this Thursday and this Friday, and then it's Saturday.
Days of the week, days of the week, days of the week, days of the week, days of the week.
One more time.
Sunday and this Monday, days of the week, days of the week, days of the week, days of the week.
Yesterday was Wednesday.
To the next day.
Today is Thursday.
Thursday.
Can you say Thursday?
Thursday.
Today is Thursday.
Yes!
Yes, my friends, today is Thursday.
Let's put it on the board.
Tap, tap, tap.
Let's fix that a little bit.
There we go.
And now we can read it together.
Will you help me?
Great.
Here we go.
Today is Thursday.
Let's read it one more time.
Today is Thursday.
It sure is.
Oh, what do we do on Thursdays, my friends?
Oh, that's right.
It's a dance party Thursday.
Oh, and today is a very special dance party Thursday.
I can't wait.
But first, we need to finish our entire circle time board.
Let's keep on going.
Okay.
Oh, what's the weather?
What's the weather?
What's the weather out today?
Is it sunny?
Is it cloudy?
Is it raining out today?
What's the weather where you live?
You may have to go peek out your window, then come back and tell me what you see.
I'll give you some time.
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.
Oh, hello.
Are you back?
Great.
What did you see?
What's the weather where you live?
Ooh.
Well, thank you for sharing.
Now it's my turn to share what the weather is here, where the circle time classroom is.
Oh, my friends, I'll need your help.
And I'll need Koala's help, too.
But first, let's help Koala move from Wednesday
to Thursday.
Here we go.
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, tap, tap.
OK, I think Koala's ready.
Are you ready?
Let's use our imaginations and head over
to our imaginary window.
Here we go.
All right, my friends, we made it to our imaginary window.
Hi, Koala.
Hi, my friends.
What do you see?
Is it a sunny day out today?
No, it's not a sunny day.
Oh, is it a cloudy day today?
No, is it a rainy day today?
Yes, it's a rainy day.
That's right, it's a rainy day.
Oh, thank you, Koala, and thank you, everyone.
Now, we need to find a picture that represents a rainy day.
