Let's go together. OK, my friends, we are here at the Circle Time board. Oh, I need to find my pointer, my Circle Time pointer. I have it. OK, my friends, it's time for us to review our entire Circle Time board. Let's start with finding out what day it is today. Are you ready? Oh, great. Get ready. Here we go. There's Sunday and this Monday, this Tuesday and this Wednesday, this Thursday and this Friday, and then this Saturday. Days of the week, days of the week, days of the week, days of the week, days of the week. One more time. There's Sunday and this Monday, this Tuesday and this Wednesday, It's Thursday and it's 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. We did it, but we still need to find out what day it is today. Okay, let's go back to the board. Oh, yesterday was Wednesday. Oh, that means we need to go down to the next day. Do, do, do, do, do. Oh, today is Thursday. Today is Thursday, today is Thursday, today is Thursday all day long. Yes, today is Thursday. Today is Thursday. Today is Thursday all day long. Yes, yes, my friends, today is Thursday. Can you say Thursday? Great, let's put Thursday on the board. Okay, right up here, my friends. And now, let's read that sentence together. Are you ready? Okay, here we go. Today is Thursday. Let's read it one more time. Today is Thursday. Oh, and it's a very special day here in Circle Time. In the classroom, what do we do on Thursdays? We, we dance. It's Dance Party Thursday. And I'm wearing my Dance Party Thursday jacket. Are you ready to dance, my friends? Great, we're going to do the freeze dance and the color song dance. Oh, I can't wait. But first, we need to finish our entire Circle Time board. So let's keep on going. Okay, my friends, do, do, do, do, do. It's time for the weather. What's the weather? What's the weather out today? Is it sunny? Is it cloudy? Is it raining out today? Oh, what's the weather where you live? You may have to look out your window and then come back and tell me what you see. I'll give you some time. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Oh, are you back? Great. What did you see? What's the weather where you live? Oh, ooh. Well, thank you for sharing what the weather is where you live. Now it's my turn. I would like to share what the weather is here, where the circle time classroom is, but I need your help. Will you help me? Wonderful. We have to go over to the imaginary window so we can look out the window and find out what the weather is here. Here we go. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do. We're going to the imaginary window. We're here. OK, my friends, let's look out the window. Well, what do you see? Is it a rainy day today? No, it's not a rainy day. Oh, is it a snowy day out today? No, it's not a snowy day. Oh, my friend, is it a partly sunny day out today? And the sun, oh, the sun is shining bright. It's coming through those clouds. My friends, it's a partly sunny day. Yes. OK, so we need to find a picture that represents a partly sunny day. Will you help me? Let's head over to our circle time board and find that picture. Here we go. OK, let's see if we have a partly sunny day picture. How about this picture? No, this is lightning. Lightning, thunder, and lightning. OK, let's try again. It's OK, my friends. Let's keep on going. Is this a partly sunny day? Yes, it is. This is our partly sunny day picture. There are the clouds. Look at that sun shining bright coming through those clouds. It's a partly sunny day. Let's put it up on the board. Now, let's read that sentence together. Are you ready? OK, here we go. The weather is partly sunny. Let's read it again. The weather is partly sunny. It's a partly sunny day today. Thank you for helping me, my friends. Now, we need to help Bear Bear get ready for this partly sunny day. And it's nice out. It's a little warm. The sun is shining bright. It's coming out, out of those clouds. So I think we can help Bear Bear. Here we go. Let's see what Bear Bear has. Oh, let's start with Bear Bear's sneakers. Oh, oh, I think Bear Bear would like to wear green sneakers today. Can you find the green sneakers? You can point to them. Which ones are green? These are the green pair of sneakers. So if you chose this one, you're correct. This is blue. We'll save that for another day. Here you are, my friend, Bear Bear. Oh, now let's see. He has green sneakers. Do you think Bear Bear should wear his green pants or blue pants? What do you think? Why don't we find the pants that match his sneakers? Which ones are the same color? That means they match. His sneakers. Oh, his sneakers are green. You can point. Do, do, do, do. Oh, if you pointed to this pair of pants, you're correct. These are green. Green. It's the same color as his sneakers. Green and green. Thank you. It's a match. OK, let's keep on going. Oh, my friends, Bear Bear wants to wear a shirt that has a little bit of green in it. Let's see what we have. Do, do, do, do, or do, do, do. There's a hooded sweatshirt, blue. Here's a yellow shirt with green. Which shirt has green? Can you point to it? I just gave you a clue. Which one? You can point. Which one has green in it? Do, do, do, do, do. If you pointed to this one, you're right. This shirt has a harp. It's yellow, but it has green all around. Thank you, my friends. You're such great helpers. OK, now I think Bear would like to put a cap on. Let's see what we have. A green cap. I'm not sure. Oh, well, I have two caps here. Maybe you can help me decide. I don't know. Which one is the green one? Can you help me? Can you point to the green hat? Green. Do, do, do, do, do. If you pointed to this one, you're correct. This is the green hat. Good job, my friends. OK, we're going to put the green hat, or cap, I should say. It's a cap. We'll put the green cap on Bear. Bear, Bear, you now. Oh, what can Bear put his books and toys in? Do, do, do, do, do. Backpack. Oh, his blue backpack. Here you are, Bear. I think Bear Bear is ready for the day. Have a good day, Bear. Thank you for helping, friends. You're such a great helper. Let's keep on going. Do, do, do, do, do, do. Letter of the week. Who remembers? What the letter of the week is? Who remembers? What the letter of the week is? Do you remember? Oh, really? It's OK if you don't remember. Those of you who gave it a try, I'm going to hold up our letter of the week. Now you say the name of this letter. Here it comes. Da, da. T. Letter T. T is our letter of the week. Uppercase T and lowercase T. Every letter makes a sound. And T says t, t, T for turtle, table, toes. All of those words start with letter T. I want you to think of things that start with letter T as well. Think about it while you're at home. Say the sound, t, and try to think of something that starts with letter T. You can do it. OK, my friends, I'm going to put T on the board. Letter T, our letter of the week. And now let's go down to our do, do, do, do, shape of the week. What's the shape of the week? This shape has eight sides and reminds me of this stop sign here, do, do, do, do. Have you ever seen a stop sign? Yes, stop sign. When cars are driving and they see this sign, it says stop. It's red. It lets them know that they need to come to a complete stop. Stop their car or their vehicle. This is a stop sign. And it's shaped like our shape of the week. Do you remember the name of our shape of the week? Oh, let me pull it out. OK, here it is, do, do, do, do, octagon. This is the octagon. It's the same shape as the stop sign. That's right. The stop sign is shaped like an octagon. Now, the octagon has eight sides. Will you help me count them? OK, great. I'm going to use my pointer finger. I'm going to start at the top. You can help me count aloud. Here we go. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Eight sides. The octagon has eight sides. Can you say octagon? Great. Let's put it on the board. OK, octagon, we put it on the board. And now, we can go over to our numbers. It's time for us to count. How about we count with two claps today? So we'll count. We'll say 1, clap, clap, 2, 3, 4. You keep on going. Are you ready? Here we go. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. You did it. Oh, how did you do? Were you able to clap two times? Oh, wonderful. You're getting good at this. Good job counting with me. Thank you so much. And now, my friends, guess what? It's time for our dance party. Oh, my friends, we're going to start with the color song. Get ready. Here we go. Yes.
