Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Circle Time again. I'm so happy you're here today. This is our classroom, and this is where we're going to do Circle Time. Now, my friends, we have so much to do today. Let's head over to our Circle Time board so we can review some of our Circle Time skills. Are you ready? Great. Come on. Let's go. Follow me over here, and we are going to come over to our Circle Time board. Now, before we get started, I need to find my... What is that? My pointer. That's right. If you said pointer, you're correct. My Circle Time pointer. This will help me to review all of our Circle Time skills on our board. Let's start with the days of the week so we can find out what day it is today. Are you ready, my friends? Now, remember, when you sing the days of the week, you can clap your hands, you can snap your fingers, or you can just sing. Whatever you choose. 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 there's Saturday. 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 there's Saturday. We did it. Thank you friends for helping me sing the days of the week. But now we need to find out what day it is today. Let's go back over to our board. Follow the pointer. Follow the pointer, follow the pointer. Ooh, yesterday was Sunday. Can you say Sunday? Yes, yesterday was Sunday. Now let's go down one. Do, do, do, do, do. Ooh, today is Monday. Can you say Monday? Wonderful. Today is, today 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. Monday, M for Monday. Let's put Monday on the board. It will go right here, up here, right up here. And now let's read the sentence together. It says, today is Monday. Can you read it with me? Great. Today is Monday. It sure is. It's Monday and it's the beginning of the week. So that means we're going to find out about all the things we're going to learn this week. Let's go down, do, do, do, do. Oh, we need to 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? What's the weather where you live? You may have to go out and look at your window and then come back and tell me what you see. I'll give you some time. Ready? Okay. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Oh, are you back? Great, what did you see out the window? What's the weather where you live? Oh, really? Well, thank you all for sharing. Now it's time to find out what the weather is here, where I live and where our Circle Time classroom is. let's look out our window. This is not just any window, this is our imaginary window. When we look out the imaginary window, we use our imaginations and think of things that we want to see or places we want to go. But for now, we're going to look out the window to see what the weather is here. Okay friends, let's go over to our imaginary window. Follow me. Let's go. Over here, this is our imaginary window. So my friends, I want you to look out the window and let's see if we can figure out what the weather is today. Will you help me? Wow, what's the weather here? Does it look like it's raining or does it look like it's sunny out? If you said sunny, I agree. It looks like it's a sunny day outside. Oh, will you help me find a picture that represents a sunny day? Wonderful, let's go look for a picture that represents a sunny day. I have some pictures here. Hmm, let's see. Do you think this picture is our sunny day picture? No, it isn't. If you said no, you're correct. This is a snowy day picture. How about this one? If you said yes, you're correct. This is a sunny day picture. So let's put it up on our board right here. Now, this sentence says, the weather is sunny. Let's read it together. The weather is sunny. Oh, it sure is. It's a sunny day. Oh my friends, but someone is missing or something is missing. Hmm, usually when we do the weather, we have one of our friends come and help us. One of our circle time friends. They come and help us or we actually help them get ready for the day. How about we see if one of our friends will come and help us today? Oh, circle time friend, where are you? Oh, I think I found, look at this, Bear and Piggy. Hello Piggy. And guess who else? Koala. Oh, these are our circle time friends. Koala and Bear and Piggy. Now, each week, one of our friends will be up on the board so that way we can help them get ready for the sunny day or snowy day or rainy day. We'll help them get dressed for the weather. Now, today or for this week, we are going to say hello to Bear Bear. Bear is going to help us with the weather and we're going to help Bear get dressed for the day. Oh, Bear, are you ready? Great. Piggy and Koala, we'll see you another time. All right, let's put Bear on the board. We'll put him right here. Okay, Bear. Okay, I think Bear is ready. Now, we said it's a sunny day today and it's a warm, warm, warm sunny day out. So, let's get Bear ready. Oh, I think I have some things that he may like. Will you help me? Wonderful. Okay, let's start with Bear's shirt, jacket, or I don't know, coat. Should he wear a raincoat today on this sunny day or maybe just a t-shirt on this sunny day? It's warm, it's sunny. Raincoat or red t-shirt? You can tell me. Red t-shirt. If you said red t-shirt, I agree. Let's save the raincoat for a rainy day. Let's put on the red t-shirt. Here you are. There you are, Bear. Okay, okay. Now, he's going to need to put on some, oh, where are they? His blue pants or jeans. Yeah, good idea. Okay, let's put on the pants. Here you are. Oh, something for his feet. Hmm, sunny day, warm outside, rain boots or red sneakers? What do you think? Oh, if you said red sneakers, I agree. Let's save the rain boots for a rainy day along with that raincoat. Okay, red sneakers. Red sneakers it is. Here you are. Look, he's almost ready. Now, it's a warm day and it's really, really sunny out. Maybe he can put on a hat. Do you think he should wear his yellow rain hat or just his blue cap? You can tell me or you can point. Oh, save the yellow rain hat for a rainy day. I agree. Let's put on his blue cap. Good idea. Okay, here we go. Oh, it looks like Bear Bear is almost ready for the day. What do you think? Hmm, one more thing I think is missing. He wants to bring some books, maybe some toys.

Now, my friends, before we finish circle time and we left to take a little break, we finished off with letter J. Letter J in the alphabet. Now, we need to go to the next letter. Hmm, I'm thinking, what's the letter after J? Hmm, maybe we should say the alphabet together. Well, some of it until we get to J and maybe we can figure out what comes next. Will you help me? Oh, wonderful. Let's sing it. We can sing it together. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K. What letter comes after J? H, I, J, K. That's right. Letter K. Oh, if you said letter K, you're correct.

I'm so excited to be talking about K all week long and even we'll get to practice writing and tracing letter K. Now, every letter makes the sound and K says K. Yes, a really hard K for kangaroo and K and K for koala. Letter K. Okay, let's put K on the board. Oh, did you say letter K? Can you say it? Wonderful. Okay, K right here. Perfect. Now, my friends, let's follow the pointer. Follow the pointer. We did the letter of the week. Let's go down. Shape of the week. What's our shape of the week? Oh, you may know this shape. This shape goes around and around or you can go this way, around and stop. It has no sides. Hmm, it reminds me of some cookies. It reminds me of some donuts. Oh, my favorite. Oh, this shape is called circle. It's a circle. Circle is our shape of the week. Can you say circle? Yes. Let's practice making the circle in the air. If we take your pointer finger, everyone take your pointer finger, we'll start at the top and then we're going to go around and then back to the top. Okay, let's try again. Start at the top with your pointer finger. Let's draw a circle around and then back to the top. Just like that. Circle is our shape of the week. The circle. Thank you for helping me.
