Oh, look at this. Shape of the Week. Oh, what's that Shape of the Week? Remember, it has four sides. Oh, and you know what? I remember us talking about a waffle yesterday. It looks like a square. Some waffles are shaped like a square. Have you thought of anything else that's shaped like a square? You can shout it out at home. Oh, my friends, if you find things that are shaped like a square, make sure you take some pictures and share, share, share. Families, if you share on social media, you can tag me.

When you're writing it, it goes across. Down and around. Let's give it a try in the air. Get out your crayons. Let's pretend we have a crayon on. I'm going to use yellow today. What color crayon are you going to use? Let's draw or write the number five. Are you ready? Here we go. Across. Down. And around. Good job. Number five. Let's put it on the board. Tap, tap, tap. You did it again. You completed the entire circle time board. Look at this. You helped me with all of this. Today is a very special day. It is craft Wednesday. Because it is craft Wednesday, we are going to do a very special craft. We are going to make something that starts with the letter W. Wagon. We are going to make a wagon. Have you ever seen a wagon before? You can sit in a wagon and someone can pull you. You can put toys in the wagon. Lots of different objects in a wagon. You can pull it along by the handle. A wagon has wheels. When you pull it, the wheels will move and the wagon will move. Today we are going to make a wagon. It starts with the letter W. Wagon. Can you say that with me? Say the sound first and then the name wagon. Here we go. Wagon. One more time. Wagon. You did it. Let's go over to our art area of the classroom. Come on, let's go together. We are going over here. This is our art area. This is where we will make all of our crafts. Today's craft is... Here it is. I have it. The wagon. Here is our handle and the wheels. The wheels, not the whale. The wheels down below. When you pull it, it moves along. What's inside of our wagon? Letter W. That's right. I'm going to show you all the things you need so you can make a wagon at home. If you don't have all of the things, it's okay. You use what you have. You use what you have to make the wagon. Alright, my friends. Let's get ready to make our wagon. Now it's time to make our craft. We're going to make it here on this side of the easel. I had to turn it around. Remember, this is what the wagon looks like. Let me show you what we will need. First, you'll cut out a letter W. Actually, I used paper that has two different colors on the side. Cut out a letter W. Uppercase, lowercase, whatever you choose. You'll need a medium-sized rectangle. This will be our wagon. The part that we put things in. You'll need a handle for your wagon. A smaller, skinnier rectangle. Use the colors that you like. I'm using red and black. Lots of wagons are red. You'll need two circles like this. Two medium-sized circles that are black or whatever size or color you choose. And then two smaller circles. I'm using white and that will be for our wheels. Of course, you'll need scissors so you can cut all of your pieces out. You'll need scissors and you'll also need some glue. You'll need some glue so you can glue the pieces together. That's what I'm going to show you how to do. Let's do this together, my friends. First, let's start with the large rectangle. I'm going to put my pieces here that I don't need right away. Take a large rectangle or it's a medium-sized, really. I'm going to use some tape so I can put it on the easel so you can see it. You start with your rectangle. Tap, tap, tap. Our rectangle first. Then, let's put on the wheels. Let's put on the wheels. Let's go ahead and put on the wheels. I need to get my little bowl out here. This is where I like to keep all of my materials in the little bowl as long as they fit. I'm going to use glue. I'll use a glue stick. Glue sticks are really easy to use. I'm going to use a glue stick to put on my wheels. First, remember, we have two sizes for the wheels. The large circle and the smaller circle. First, I'm going to put a little glue on the smaller circle and then put it right in the middle of the larger circle. Tap, tap, tap, right in the middle. Tap, tap, tap. Here's one. I'm going to do the same thing for the other one. Put a little glue. Round and around and around we go. Tap, tap, tap, right in the middle. Now, we can put them right onto the wagon. At the top, turn around the wheel and at the top, you put a little glue. Just round and around. Then, go ahead and put it right here at the bottom of your wagon. Tap, tap, tap. You decide where you want the wheel to go. A little more glue at the top again. Tap, tap, tap. My wheels are on. Now, I'll need my letter W and my handle. Let's put on the handle next. I need the handle. Remember, you need a skinnier rectangle for the handle. That's what someone will pull when they're pulling the wagon. I'm going to put a little glue at the tip right here and then just stick the handle on right here. You can put it down. You can put it up. It's up to you. I'm going to put my handle just like that. Like it's hanging down. This handle, I did the accordion style. You can fold it over if you want. You can do different designs. You can fold it up one time if you want. Whatever you like. The last thing for your wagon is the letter W. I think I may have to bring this down a little bit more so my W will fit. My W is pretty, pretty large. Let's see. I'm going to move my tape down a little bit because this W is kind of large. Let's see if it fits. Here's my W. I'm going to put some glue on the back of the W at the top. Actually, not at the top. At the bottom. On the bottom of the W, my friends, so we can sit right on the wagon. We pretend it's right inside of our wagon. There we have it. Our letter W wagon. W wagon. Wagon starts with W. We did it. What do you think? I hope you try it at home. If you do, share, share, share your pictures. Alright, my friends. Now that we did our craft, it's time for our circle time song. Here we go. Now it's time for our circle time song. Today we're going to sing the five little ducks. Since our number of the week is five, I thought this would be a fun song to sing. We're going to pretend that our fingers are our ducks. Can you hold up five fingers? Five. Okay, my friends. Get ready. Now make sure you listen to the words because our ducks are going to go out one day over the hill. They're going to go far away. So listen to the words. Get ready. Here we go. Five. Five ducks. Get ready. Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack. Five little ducks went out one day over the hill and far away. Mother duck said quack, quack, quack, quack. But only four little ducks came back. One, two, three, four. Four little ducks went out one day over the hill and far away. Mother duck said quack, quack, quack, quack. But only ducks came back. One, two, three. Three little ducks went out one day over the hill and far away. Mother duck said quack, quack, quack, quack. But only two little ducks came back. One, two. Two little ducks went out one day over the hill and far away. Mother duck said quack, quack, quack, quack. But only one, one one day over the hill and far away. Mother duck said quack, quack, quack, quack. But none of the five little ducks came back. Said mother duck went out one day over the hill and far away. Mother duck said quack, quack, quack, quack. And all the five little ducks came back. Five little ducks went out one day over the hill and far away. Mother duck said quack, quack, quack, quack. And all of the five little ducks came back. All of the five little ducks came back. Yay! I love when they come back. Okay, my friends. We did it again. What a busy day we had today. Thank you for helping me with our circle time board. And we even did a craft today. So fun. My friends, it's time for us to say goodbye. But I will see you all tomorrow. Bye, friends. Yay! Quack, quack, quack. Five little ducks went out one day...
