Let's follow the pointer back to the board. Oh, yesterday was Thursday. Dance party Thursday. Oh, did you have fun during dance party Thursday? Oh, I did too. Now, let's go down one. Today is Friday. Can you say Friday? Friday, that's right. Today is Friday. All day long. Yes, today is Friday. Today is Friday. All day long. Yes, yes, my friends, today is Friday. Okay, let's put Friday on the board. Right up here, right here. Oh, and do you know that F is at the beginning of Friday? Friday starts with letter F, Friday. That's right. Now, let's read this sentence together. Will you help me? Okay, great. Let's read it together. Today is Friday. Let's read it one more time. Today is Friday. Oh, it sure is. Now, let's go down. 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? Well, my friends, 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-do-do. Are you back? Oh, wonderful. What's the weather where you live? Really? Oh, well, thank you for sharing. Oh, now it's my turn. I want to find out what the weather is here, where the circle time classroom is. Oh, my friends, I'll need your help. We can go over to our imaginary window so we can find out what the weather is. Will you help me? Oh, wonderful. Let's go together. Come on, let's go. Okay, now we're at our imaginary window. Oh, my friends, look out the window. What do you see? Oh, is it a cloudy day today? Ah, no, it's not a cloudy day. Oh, my friends, is it a rainy day today? Ah, no, it's not a rainy day. Oh, it's a sunny day. Yes, I see lots of sun. It looks like a bright and sunny day today. Oh, and it must be warm as well. Oh, let's go back over to our circle time board. Now we need to find a picture that represents a sunny day. Will you help me? Yes, oh, wonderful, let's go. Let's go find this picture. We need a picture that represents a sunny day. Oh, my friends, how about this picture? What do you think? It has lots of clouds. Hmm, is this a sunny day picture? Ah, no, this is a cloudy day picture, but that's okay, we can try again. Hmm, ooh, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Is this a sunny day picture? Yes, it is, it's a sunny day picture. Oh, I'm going to put it on the board right here, and now we can read the sentence together. Will you help me read it? Okay, let's read the sentence together. The weather is sunny. Let's read it one more time. The weather is sunny. Oh, it's a sunny day, and it's warm out. We need to help. Piggy Pig, you're ready for this day. Okay, let's help Piggy Pig. Let's see what we can give Piggy Pig today. Oh, let's start with the shoes. It's a sunny day, and it's warm out. Do you think Piggy Pig should wear red sneakers or green rain boots? What do you think on this sunny day? You can point, or you can say it out loud. Oh, if you said red sneakers, I agree. Why don't we save the rain boots for a rainy day? Okay, red sneakers it is. Red sneakers for Piggy Pig, and do, do, do, do. Oh, now I wonder if Piggy Pig is going to wear, red skirt or green pants. Which one is the same color as her sneakers? You can point, or you can say it out loud. Oh, the red skirt. If you said red skirt, you're correct. Red and red, same, same, the same color. Let's save the green pants for another day. Okay, red skirt for Piggy Pig, and then she already has her green and yellow top. It's yellow with green trim around, and what's in the middle? A red heart, a red heart. Okay, we'll put that on. Oh, Piggy Pig is ready. Oh, but I think she may need to take some toys and books with her today. Hmm, maybe she can put them in a, in a backpack, yes, in a backpack, backpack. Here you are, Piggy, I think she's ready. She's ready for this warm, sunny day. Well, my friends, thank you for helping. Bye, Piggy Pig. We'll see Piggy Pig tomorrow. Oh, I don't think we'll see her tomorrow because it's the end of the week. Oh, we'll see you next time, Piggy Pig. Thank you, my friends, for helping. Now, let's keep on going. Oh, it's time for the letter of the week. Do you remember what letter we've been reviewing all week long? Remember, this letter has no sides and no straight lines. This letter has no straight lines, and it goes around and it stops. Oh, what's our letter of the week? Who remembers, who remembers what the letter of the week is? What the letter of the week is? Who remembers what the letter of the week is? What the letter of the week is? Do you remember? Oh, the letter of the week makes the sound ah, ah. If you said, oh, you're correct. O is the letter of the week. Uppercase O and lowercase O. And guess what, my friends? Today, we are going to practice writing letter O. Every letter makes a sound and O says ah. Ostrich, ah, octagon. Letter O. Get something to write with and get something to write on and then meet me back here at our board. And I'm going to get a marker so we can practice writing letter O. Okay, let's see what color I'll use today. I think I'll try my red marker today. Okay, my friends, are you ready? Wonderful. Okay, find a space to write. If you're gonna write on your paper, notebook, a board, make sure you find some space and we'll start at the top. Let's write uppercase O and then we'll write the lowercase O. Now remember, the uppercase O is big and the lowercase O, it's the same thing but it's just a little smaller, just a little smaller. Okay, let's give it a try. Start at the top, find some space, start at the top. I'm going to start at the top right here, okay? Right here at the top. And I'm going to draw a curved line around, all the way around and then back to the top for my uppercase O. And now, let's draw the lowercase O right next to it. We're going to do the same motion but we're going to make it smaller, smaller. So let's go to the middle, the middle of uppercase O, right here, watch me if you need to. And start at the top and go around and back to the top for lowercase O. Now we have an uppercase O and a lowercase O. Let's do it again, one more time. I'll try down here, uppercase O and lowercase O. Let's start with uppercase, here we go. I'll start at the top and go around and back to the top for my uppercase O. Now let's try lowercase O. You can do it, right here, next to it. Remember, go to the middle of the uppercase O and now start at the top and go around and back to the top, lowercase O, wow. Uppercase O, lowercase O, again, uppercase O, lowercase O. You can try it again, go ahead. Try your uppercase O again, start at the top, right. Now go around and back to the top, there you go. And you can try your lowercase again. Remember, it's not as tall as that uppercase, it's a little smaller. So start in the middle, the middle of the uppercase and draw your lowercase O around and back to the top. The more you practice, the better you'll get. O is the letter of the, nice job, friends. Okay, let's keep on going. Now it's time for our shape of the week. Oh, my friends, I think we should even practice the shape. Do you remember what the shape of the week is? It has three sides and three points. Who remembers the name of this shape? Oh, what's the name of our shape of the week? Triangle, if you said triangle, you're correct, a triangle. Okay, I'm going to erase my board and I want us to try and draw a triangle. So I'm going to erase my O's, because we're finished with that. You can find some space on your paper or notebook or wherever you're writing, okay? Find some space and let's try our triangle, okay? I'll use brown this time for this triangle. Now remember our triangle has three points, three sides. So let's start at the top. Find the space, you're going to start at the top. Yes, that's right. And when we start at the top, we have to draw a straight line, but it's a special kind of straight line because it doesn't go straight down. It goes on a diagonal. Let me show you. Watch me first. I start at the top and then I draw my diagonal line to this side. See that? Then I go back to the top and draw a diagonal line to this side. See that? Then I'll make this a little longer and we need to draw a line across to close it. Across for our triangle. Let's give it a try together. Find the space, start at the top. Now I'm going to draw a diagonal line this way and stop. Go back to the top. Now draw a diagonal line the other way. Diagonal line this way. Oh, and now my friends, we need to close our triangle. So now draw a straight line across. There it is, our triangle, yes. And let's make sure it has three sides. Yes, it does. One, two, three, oh, it does. It has three sides. One, two, three, and three points. One, two, three, that's right. The triangle. And you can keep on practicing the triangle at home. The more you practice, the better you'll get. Keep on going. Okay, my friends, now it's time to go over to this out of our board for some counting. Let's count from one all the way to, what number? 15. 15, are you ready? Let's do it. Here we go. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. You did it. A little bit faster now. You ready? Here we go. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. Oh, 15. You've been counting all the way up to number 15 this week for the last two weeks. So proud of all of you. Keep on practicing at home and keep practicing counting your objects as well. Okay, my friends, it's time for us to sing our circle time song. Let's head over to our desk. Come on, come with me. We're here. Are you ready? Today, we're going to sing our letter name song. Remember, when you hear the first letter in your name, you can clap, clap, or you can clap, clap throughout the song. I want you to move your body and dance and clap or tap or use an instrument like I like to use my bells. You can use what you have. Remember, listen for the first letter in your name. Get ready, get ready. Here we go. Remember, friends, listen for the first letter in your name. If your name starts with A, clap your hands. If your name starts with B, clap your hands. If your name starts with C or D or E or F, if your name starts with E, clap your hands. If your name starts with H, clap your hands. Thank you! Thank you for singing with me. I had such an amazing day and an amazing week with all of you. Now my friends, it's time for us to say goodbye. It's time for you to spend the weekend with your family and I'll see you all again next week. Bye friends!
