and S says s, s, s.
That's the sound S makes.
Can you make that sound, s?
Good job.
Snake, s, snail, s, snow.
All of those words start with letter S
and you can hear the S sound
in the beginning of those words, s, letter S.
S is our letter of the week and tomorrow, my friends,
we are going to practice writing or tracing letter S.
So get ready.
Okay, let's put S on the board right here, letter S.
And now it's time for our shape of the week.

Oh, the pentagon is our shape of the week.
What does the pentagon look like?
It reminds me of a house.
Oh, some friends said a cupcake.
Oh, the pentagon is our shape of the week.
How many sides does the pentagon have?
Five sides.
Let's count them.
Are you ready?

Five sides.
Let's go the other way.
Start at the top.

Pentagon is our shape of the week.
And now my friends, it's time for us to count
our numbers from one all the way through 20.
Today, let's use the two clap method.
So we'll say the number and then we clap two times.
So it sounds like this.
One, clap, clap.
Two, three, four, just like that.
Now you clap and I will be tapping
because I'm holding the pointer.
So I can't clap and I can't clap and hold the pointer.
So I'll tap and you clap.
Are you ready?
Okay, get ready.
Get ready.
Here we go.
One, two, clap, clap.
Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12,

We did it.
Oh, now let's try it one more time
but this time I'm going to use my bells.
And if you have an instrument, you can use it too.
Same method.
We're going to do it two times.
So when we say one, I'll say two, three, four,
just like that.
You can keep clapping or you can use an instrument.
You can snap your fingers, tap the table,
whatever you choose.
One more time.
Here we go.
Get ready.
