Let's go down to the letter of the week, letter of the week. Oh, my friends, it's the beginning of the week, so that means we also get a new letter of the week. Last week, our letter was Miss Monica. This week, we're going to the next letter, so let's think. I'm thinking what letter comes after letter M in the alphabet? Oh, I have an idea, friends. Why don't we sing the alphabet together so we can figure out what letter comes next? Will you help me sing? Okay, let's sing together. We can do the whole alphabet. Here we go. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P. Keep going. Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z. Now I know my ABCs. Next time, won't you sing with me? I hope you will sing with me next time. Okay, friends, we found out that after M comes N. Can you say N? That's right, letter N. N is our letter of the week. N. This is uppercase N, lowercase n. That's right. Oh, look at the straight line the uppercase N has. I can't wait to write the letter N. Okay, friends, so this is letter N and every letter makes the sound and N says N, N. See that? N. Can you make that sound? N. That's right, letter N. Nest. Noodles. I like noodles. Yummy, yummy. Night. Oh, when it's not daytime, it's night. That's right. So many things start with letter N. Oh, I have another one. We all have this. We all have a nose. Nose starts with letter N. Nose. Oh, friends, you have all week to start looking around and look in your books and look around your home and outside to find things that start with letter N. Okay, let's put letter N on the board right here. Oh, perfect. There we go. Okay, there we go. Now, let's keep on going. Oh, there's a new shape of the week. Oh, well, what's the new shape of the week? I wonder what it is. I think I know. I want to give you a clue because maybe you know too. This shape looks like an egg. What is an egg shape like? I bet you know this shape. Oval. Can you say oval? Oval. That's right. The oval is the shape of the week. The oval reminds me of an egg. An egg. It looks like an oval. Yeah. The oval also reminds me of a circle, but a circle that is stretched out or stretched out this way. Yeah. And guess what? The oval has no sides. No sides. It just goes around this way, around and around, and it doesn't stop. The oval. Okay, I'm going to put oval on the board. Oval is our shape of the week. Whoa. Look, friends. We completed the entire circle time board on this side. On this side, we completed this side of the board, but we still have to count. That's right. We still have to count. Wow.
