Welcome to Circle Time.
How are you feeling today?
Really?
Well, I'm feeling very excited.
I feel excited because today is the first day of the week
and we get to learn a new letter of the week,
a new shape of the week and a new number of the week.
Are you ready to get started?
Great.
Let me get my puh, puh, puh, puh, pointer,
my Circle Time pointer,
so we can review our Circle Time board.
Let's start with the days of the week.
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.
Are you ready?
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.
We did it.
Great.
Now let's find out what day it is today.
Let's go to our board.
Yesterday was Sunday.
Can you say Sunday?
Yes.
Yesterday was Sunday.
Let's go down one.
Do, do, do, do, do, do.
Today is Monday.
Mm, Monday.
M for Monday.
Today is Monday.
Today is Monday all day long.
Yes.
Today is Monday.
Today is Monday all day long.
Yes.
Today is Monday.
And that's the letter M.
M for Monday.
Let's put Monday on the board.
Oh, and now maybe you can help me read.
Today is Monday.
Can you read that with me?
Great.
Today is Monday.
Yes, it is.
Today is Monday.
Now let's go down to our letter of the week.
Oh, we get to learn a new letter of the week.
And this week's letter is C.
Letter C.
C is the letter of the week.
We have uppercase C, lowercase C.
Letter C.
Can you say C?
Great.
Letter C.
This is our letter of the week.
Every letter makes a sound and C says ck.
Let's say that together.
Every letter makes a sound and C says ck.
Yes.
When we make that sound that C makes, ck,
it's almost as if we're coughing.
Ck, ck.
It makes that sound.
C is our letter of the week.
Uppercase C, lowercase C.
I'm going to put C on the board.
Okay, let's put C on the board.
It's our letter of the week.
C.
C says ck.
Let's try that one more time together.
Let's make that sound three times, ck.
Great.
Great practice.
We'll keep practicing that.
Now letter C, since it makes that sound,
we can figure out some things that start with letter C,
like ck, cake.
Ooh, C for cake, cake.
Mm, yummy, yummy cake.
Oh, and C for car, ck, car.
C for car, ck, car.
There are so many things that start with letter C.
This week, we're going to review all of these things.
I can't wait.
And you can look around your home
to find things that start with letter C
and make the ck sound.
Say it one more time, ck.
That's right, letter C.
Now let's go down to our shape of the week.
Oh, what's our shape of the week?
We've looked at so many shapes.
Last week, we looked at the star.
This week, our shape has points.
But our shape of the week is a diamond.
This is a diamond.
Can you say diamond?
Great, the diamond is our shape of the week.
Now diamond is also called a rhombus.
It has four sides, and guess what?
All four sides are equal.
They are the same size, the same length.
Look at this, one, two, three, four.
Four sides on our diamond.
Oh, and this diamond has points too.
Let's see how many points it has.
One, two, three, four.
Four points and four sides.
This is a diamond.
Can you say diamond?
Great, diamond is our shape of the week.
Let's put it on the board.
There it goes, a diamond.
Now let's go down to the number of the week.
Last week, we counted all the way to number 14.
This week, we're going to the next number.
We're going to keep on going.
That means we're going to be counting more.
But first, let's count from one all the way through 14,
and let's see if we can figure out what the next number is.
Can you count with me?
Great, let's count.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven,
eight, nine, 10,
11, 12, 13, 14,
and 15, 15 is the number of the week.
15, can you say 15?
Great, 15 has a one and it has a five.
Together makes 15, wow.
We're counting all the way up to number 15.
Let's put 15 on the board, 15.
That's our number of the week.
And guess what we're counting this week?
Can you take a guess?
You may have seen them behind me.
Look behind me, behind me.
What do you see?
Cars, yes, C for c-c-cars.
We're counting cars today, c-cars.
Are you ready to count the cars?
Great, let's see if we have 15 cars.
C for cars, c-cars.
Let's get ready to count.
Here we go.
I will touch the cars with the pointer.
You count aloud, nice and loud.
Okay, here we go.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.
We have 15 cars.
Can you say that with me?
We have 15 cars.
Wow, that's a lot of cars we have.
And all of these cars have different colors too.
We have 15 colorful cars.
Thank you for helping me count.
Now 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?
What's the weather where you live?
You may have to look out your window
and then come back and tell me what you see.
But I'll give you a little bit of time.
Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh,
duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh,
duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh.
Are you back?
Great, what's the weather where you live?
What did you see?
Ooh, really?
Well, I wanna look out my window
so I can see what the weather is here where I live.
I'm going to look out my window.
Hmm, ooh, oh, I see rain.
I see lots and lots of rain.
It's raining, it's pouring.
That's what I see, rain.
It's a rainy day here where I live.
Can you help me find a picture that represents a rainy day?
Oh, great, thank you so much for helping me.
Do you think I should use this picture or this picture?
Which one represents a rainy day?
You can point.
Oh, if you chose this picture, you're correct.
This is our rainy day picture.
This shows raindrops, raindrops.
This picture shows snow, snowfall.
It's not snowing, so we'll save this for another day.
It's a rainy day, let's put it on the board.
Oh, now we can read that.
The weather is rainy.
Can you read that with me?
Great, the weather is rainy.
It sure is, it's a rainy, rainy day.
Now we need to help our friend, Weather Koala.
Hello, Weather Koala.
We need to help Weather Koala get dressed for this rainy day.
Look, the rain is starting to come down
on top of Weather Koala.
What should we put on?
Should we start with a rain hat?
Let's put on his yellow rain hat.
Good idea.
So we'll start with the rain hat.
And now do you think Weather Koala should wear a raincoat
or just a regular jacket?
What do you think?
You can point.
Oh, if you chose the raincoat, I agree.
Since it's raining outside,
let's give Weather Koala a raincoat.
Oh, but look at this raincoat.
This is a new raincoat.
This is a new raincoat just for Weather Koala
because the raincoat he had before was a little too small.
It was too small.
So we had to get Weather Koala a new raincoat.
Do you like it?
I hope you do.
Let's put it on Weather Koala.
Here you go, Weather Koala.
Oh, it fits.
It's a long raincoat.
Sometimes there are short raincoats
and sometimes there are long raincoats.
Weather Koala has a long raincoat,
but he still needs to put on his blue jeans.
His blue jeans with the belt.
Yes.
Even though he wears the long raincoat,
he still has to put on his blue jeans.
So let's put them on.
We'll put them on here.
There you go, Weather Koala.
And now he needs something for his feet.
Yes?
Yes, I agree.
Do you think we should put on his new boots?
Just his snow boots or winter boots?
Or do you think we should put on his rain boots?
What do you think?
You can point.
Oh, well, if you said rain boots, I agree.
Since it's raining and he wants to keep his feet dry,
I think he'll put on the rain boots.
Let's save the winter boots for a cold day.
Good idea?
Great.
Okay, here you go, Weather Koala.
We'll put on your rain boots.
Here you go.
Oh, I think he's ready for this rainy day.
Is he missing anything?
Oh, oh.
An umbrella?
Hmm.
An umbrella.
Yes, we have an umbrella for Weather Koala.
We'll give him his rainbow umbrella.
Okay.
Here you go, Weather Koala.
Your rainbow umbrella.
Oh, I think he's ready.
He's ready for the rainy day.
This way he'll stay nice and dry.
He has an umbrella.
Check.
He has a rain hat.
He has a rain coat.
And even rain boots.
Check.
He's ready for the rainy day.
Do you agree?
Yes, great.
Now let's get ready for our circle time song.
Today we're going to sing the A, B, C song
or the alphabet song.
We'll sing it with the music
and then we'll sing it without the music.
Are you ready?
Great.
Get ready.
Here we go.
You can move your bodies.
Get ready.
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 A, B, C's.
Next time won't you sing with me?
All right, let's sing it one more time.
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 A, B, C's.
Next time won't you sing with me?
Thank you, great singing.
Now let's try it the A, B, C rock way
with our hands clapping just like this.
You can follow along with me,
but this is how it goes if you don't remember.
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, clap, clap.
Okay, so you'll be clapping two times.
Can you try and clap two times?
One, two.
Again, one, two.
Good, we'll be doing that throughout the song,
but it's okay if you don't know it,
follow along with me and you can keep practicing.
Let's try it, I'll try it a little slow first.
Get ready, get ready, here we go.
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, clap, clap.
H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, clap, clap.
Q, R, S, clap, clap.
T, U, V, clap, clap.
W, X, clap, clap.
Y, and Z, clap, clap.
Now I know my A, B, C's, clap, clap.
Next time won't you sing with me?
Clap, clap.
Great, just like that.
All you're doing is clapping two times in between,
like this, one, two, one, two, you try.
One, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, great.
Let's try it one more time, follow along with me.
I'm going to sing it just a little bit faster.
Get ready, get ready, here we go.
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, clap, clap.
H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, clap, clap.
Q, R, S, clap, clap.
T, U, V, clap, clap.
W, X, clap, clap.
Y, and Z, clap, clap.
Now I know my A, B, C's, clap, clap.
Next time won't you sing with me?
Clap, clap.
You did it, great, great, great singing today.
Thank you so much for trying that A, B, C song.
Thank you for reviewing the entire circle time board.
We are finished for the day.
It is time to say goodbye.
See you tomorrow, bye friends.
