Well, let's head over to our circle time board. Let's go together. Come on. Okay, my friends, we are here at our circle time board. So first, I need to find my pointer, my circle time pointer. P for pointer. My friends, let's start with the days of the week so we can find out what day it is today. Are you ready? Wonderful. Help me sing. Let's sing together, everyone. Get ready. Here we go. There's Sunday and there's Monday. There's Tuesday and there's Wednesday. There's Thursday and there's Friday. And then there's Saturday. Days of the week. One more time. There's Sunday and there's Monday. There's Tuesday and there's Wednesday. There's Thursday and there's Friday. And then there's Saturday. Days of the week. Days of the week, days of the week. We did it. Thank you friends for helping me sing, but we still need to find out what day it is today. Let's go back over to our board. Yesterday was Sunday. Can you say Sunday? Now, let's go down one. After Sunday is Monday. Today is Monday. Today is Monday all day long. Yes, today is Monday. Today is Monday. Today is Monday all day long. Yes, yes my friends, today is Monday. M for Monday. Let's put it on the board. Oh, can you say Monday? Monday, great. Now, let's read that sentence together. Help me read it. Today is Monday. Let's read it again. Today is Monday. Oh, thank you my friends. Today is Monday. It's the top of the week. That means it's the beginning of the week and we have so much to do. We're going to learn a new letter of the week. Oh, my friends, we're going to learn a new shape of the week. But first, let's find out 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? Oh, what's the weather where you live? You may have to go 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 do do do do. Are you back? Great, what did you see? What's the weather where you live? Oh, oh, well, thank you for sharing. Well, now it's my turn. I want to find out what the weather is here where the circle time classroom is. Will you help me? Great, let's go over to our imaginary window. Let's go together so we can look out the window and find out what the weather is here. Come on, everyone, let's go together. Okay, now we're here at our imaginary window. Ooh, my friends, what do you see? Do you see snow? No, it's not snowing out today. Oh, do you see rain? No, it's not raining out today. Oh, is it a sunny day? Yes, I see the sun as well. It's a sunny day out today. Now we need to find a picture that represents a sunny day. Let's head back to our circle time board and find the picture. Come on, let's go together. Okay, now that we're back at our circle time board, let's find a sunny day picture. Let me see if I have a sunny day picture here. Oh, oh, I don't know, friends, let's see. Is, oh, oh, my goodness, is this a sunny day picture? No, oh, this is a cloudy day picture. Let me try again, let me try again. Oh, how about this picture? Is this a sunny day picture? No, oh, this is a snowy day picture. Okay, let me try one more time. One more time, I can try again. Oh, my friends, is this a sunny day picture? Yes, it is, this is our sunny day picture. Yes, oh, let's put it on the board because it's a sunny day out. We've seen the sun when we looked out the window, so it's a sunny day. Let's read the sentence together. Will you help me? Great, the weather is sunny. Let's read it again. The weather is sunny. Oh, it sure is, it's a sunny day out today. Oh, now we can help our friend. Who are we going to help this week? Oh, whose turn is it? Which circle time friend is going to come so we can help them this week? Oh, my friends, last week it was Piggy Pig's turn. This week it's, can you guess? Oh, take a guess, shout it out. What do you think? Ooh, oh, my friends, if you said dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun, koala, you're correct, it's koala's turn. This week is koala's turn. We will help koala get ready for the weather each day. Okay, let's put koala on the board. Welcome back, koala. We're so happy to have you here. Now, it's a sunny day, it's warm outside. Let's help koala get ready. Okay, koala, let's see what we have for you today. Hmm, how about rain boots? It's a sunny, warm day. Should he put on rain boots? Nah, let's save the rain boots for another day. So no to the rain boots, we'll save them for another day. How about, ooh, blue sneakers? Koala has some blue sneakers. Yes, sneakers are a good idea. Let's put on his blue sneakers. Oh, wonderful, and then koala has what color pants? Or jeans? Blue, yes, blue as well. Blue sneakers, blue jeans. Oh, let's find a shirt for koala. Ooh, do you think he should wear a yellow shirt or a blue shirt? What do you think? All blue today? Oh, my friends, if you said blue, I agree. Why don't we try an all blue day? And we'll save the yellow shirt for another day. Okay, another day. Oh, koala, blue shirt, blue pants, blue sneakers. Oh, and I think koala has some books and some toys. He can put it in his blue backpack. Oh, so much blue today, a blue backpack. And guess what, my friends? Blue starts with letter B, blue backpack. Oh, so much blue. So many things start with letter B. Oh, thank you for helping me, friends. Koala, have a good day. Great, now we can keep on going. We finished the weather, and now it's time to learn the new letter of the week. Hmm, what's our letter of the week? I wonder. Oh, my friends, last week we were reviewing letter O. Remember? We practiced writing letter O. We found out the letter sound. O says ah, ah. And now this week, we're going to the next letter. Oh, my friends, what letter comes after O in the alphabet? Do you know? It's okay if you don't know. I have an idea. How about we sing the alphabet together? And then we can find out what letter comes after O. Will you help me sing? Oh, wonderful. Okay, everyone, get ready. Get ready, we're going to sing together. And let's sing it a little slow, not too fast. Get ready, get ready, here we go. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P. Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z. Now I know my ABCs. Next time, won't you sing with me? Oh, you sang with me now, and thank you for singing. And I hope you'll sing with me again. But guess what? After letter O comes P. Oh, letter P. My friends, this week's letter is P. Can you say P? Great, this is uppercase P and lowercase P. Oh, every letter makes a sound. And P says P. It's a very quiet sound. It's almost like you're blowing a puff of air. Try it, try it, just like that. P for pizza, pumpkin. What else do you think starts with letter P? Oh, penguin. Oh, my friends, letter P. Okay, let's put letter P on the board right here. P is our letter of the week. Oh, let's see if we can get it to stay straight. There we go, letter P. Oh, my friends, and now it's time for us to go down to our, do, do, do, do, do, do. Ooh, shape of the week. Oh, what's this week's shape? Oh, my friends, we've learned the square. We learned about the rectangle. We learned about the circle and the oval and the triangle. Well, this week, we're going to have a new shape. Oh, can you guess what it is? This shape, many people say, means love, love. What do you think I'm making here? A heart, oh, if you said heart, you're correct. The heart, oh, heart is our shape of the week. Heart, oh, thank you, friends. Oh, and the heart is such a special shape. Many people believe it means love, love. Can you say heart? Heart, oh, I love heart cookies, heart cookies. And this week, we're going to actually practice writing, not writing, but drawing the heart. We are, the heart has two sides. If you go down the middle, each side is the same. But we're going to talk about that later this week. This week, shape is the heart. Can you say heart? Wonderful, let's put the heart on the board. And what color is our heart this week? What color? Purple, oh, purple's my favorite color. I love purple, purple heart. Okay, let's keep on going. We have finished this entire side. And now, oh, we need to go over here. We have been counting from one all the way through 15 for a few weeks now. Oh, my friends and I wanna make sure we really know our numbers. So first, let's count from one to 15. And then I'm going to play a little game, okay? All right, here we go. Let's count together. Get ready, get ready, here we go. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, that's right, 15, 15. Now, my friends, I want you to get your pointer fingers ready. Get your pointer fingers ready. Come a little bit closer, a little bit closer, good. Get your pointer fingers ready. I want you to point to the number one. Point to the number one, let me move out of your way.
