Are you ready?
Great, let's start with the days of the week.
And remember, when we sing days of the week,
you can clap your hands.
That's right, you can snap your fingers.

Whatever you choose.
Okay, get ready, get ready, here we go.
There's Sunday and there's Monday,

Now let's find out what day it is today.
Let's go over to the board.

Yes, today is Thursday.
Can you say Thursday?
Great, let's put Thursday on the board.
Now let's read it together.
Today is Thursday.
Can you read it with me one more time?
Great, today is Thursday.
And Thursdays are special days.
Do you remember why Thursday is a special day?
What do we do on Thursday?
Yes, Thursday is dance party Thursday.
That's right, I put on my rainbow jacket
for dance party Thursday
because my rainbow jacket makes me feel happy.
Do you have something that makes you feel happy?
Wow, well we're gonna have a good time
during dance party Thursday,
but we're not going to dance until the end of circle time.
So let's finish going over our entire circle time board
and then we can dance, dance, dance.
Okay, now let's keep going.
Let's go down to the letter of the week.
Who remembers, who remembers
what the letter of the week is?
What the letter of the week is?
Who remembers, who remembers
what the letter of the week is?
What the letter of the week is?
Do you remember what the letter of the week is?
It makes this sound, buh, buh, buh.
Can you make that sound?
Buh, buh, buh.
Do you remember?
Yes, it's letter B.
Every letter makes a sound and B says buh.
Buh, buh, buh.
That's right, letter B is our letter of the week.
Let's put letter B on the board.
Letter B.
Oh, I see that I have another B here.
This B, oh, I have this B and now I have this B.
Which one is the uppercase B?
Oh, yes, this is the uppercase B
and this is lowercase b.
There are two Bs, a big one and a small one.
That's right, B.
B is our letter of the week.
So many things start with letter B.
I made a very, very special song for the letter B.
Will you sing this special song with me?
Great, let's sing the song.
Now we're going to sing our letter B song.
Now remember, letter B says buh, buh, buh.
We'll make that sound during the song.
Don't worry, follow along with me.
Are you ready?
Great, get ready, get ready.
Here we go.
Letter B says buh, buh, buh.
B for baby, buh, buh, buh.
B for bottle, buh, buh, buh.
B for ball, buh, buh, buh.
Letter B is all around.

We did it! Great singing! Did you like that song? Great!
Now let's go back to our circle time board.
Now let's review what our Shape of the Week is.
Do you remember what the Shape of the Week is?
This shape has five points.
It shines really bright and sometimes you can see it in the sky at night.
The Shape of the Week is a star!
Yes, the star!
This is our Shape of the Week.
Remember we said the star has five points.
This one.
Because some stars have six points and some have ten points,
but our star has five points.
Let's count them.
Will you count them with me?
Great, here we go.
One, two, three, four, five.
Five points.
Our star has five points.
That's right.
Let's put the star on the board.
On the board.
Oh, and what color is the star?
Blue!
Blue starts with letter B.
That's right.
Blue is the color of our star.
Thank you for helping me count those points
and thank you for telling me the color of the star.
Let's go down.
It's time for our Number of the Week.
Do you remember the number?
This number has a one and it has a four.
Together.
That makes number 14.
First the one, then the four.
Together.
Make 14.
Can you say 14?
Great, 14.
Let's put 14 on the board.
14, here you go.
On the board.
Let's turn it around a little bit.
Let's see.
Oh no, it keeps turning.
Let's try that again.
Okay, 14, you stay on the board.
Perfect.
I think it's going to stay.
Do you think it's going to stay?
Great.
Now we can count our bumblebees.
I hope we still have 14 bumblebees.
Will you help me count the bumblebees?
Great.
First we'll count them slow the first time
and then the second time we're going to count them a little faster.
Let me go take them off.
Let's get ready to count.
Here I go.
I have our bumblebees.
Are you ready to count?
Okay, we'll count slow the first time.
Help me count.
You count aloud.
I'll put the bumblebees on the board.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.
14 bumblebees.
We have 14 bumblebees.
Now let's count them a little bit faster.
Are you ready?
Great.
Here we go.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.
14 bumblebees.
We have 14 bumblebees.
Can you say that with me?
We have 14 bumblebees.
Great counting.
Now let's find out.
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.
I'll give you some time.
Are you back?
Great.
What did you see?
What's the weather where you live?
Ah, really?
Well, I want to find out what the weather is here where I live.
I'm going to look out my window.
Oh, I see lots and lots of sun.
It looks like a bright and sunny day.
It's a bright and sunny day here where I live.
So let's find a picture that represents a sunny day.
And then we'll put it on the board.
Let's see.
Do you think that this picture represents a sunny day or this picture?
You can point.
Oh, if you chose this one, you're correct.
This is the picture that represents a sunny day.
Let's put it on the board.
Oh, and now we can read it.
It says the weather is sunny.
Can you read that with me?
Let's do it.
The weather is sunny.
It is.
It's a sunny day here where I live.
Now it's time to help our friend Weather Koala.
It's time to help him get ready for this sunny, sunny day.
Are you ready?
Great.
You can help me.
Now, since it's a sunny day, it's a little warm outside.
It's not hot, hot, hot, but it's warm.
So do you think Weather Koala should wear a raincoat or maybe his hooded sweatshirt?
You can point.
Oh, great.
If you chose the hooded sweatshirt, I think that's a good idea.
Why don't we save the raincoat for a rainy day?
Let's put the hooded sweatshirt on Weather Koala.
Here you go, Weather Koala.
Great.
And now let's put on his favorite blue jeans.
Oh, there's that color again.
B-B-Blue.
Blue starts with letter B.
B-B-Blue.
Oh, and his jeans have a belt.
Belt.
B-B-Belt.
Belt starts with letter B.
Wow, so many things start with letter B.
We're really finding that out.
Now Weather Koala can choose some shoes.
Or actually, you can help him choose something for his feet.
Should he put on snow boots or sneakers?
You can point.
Ah, if you chose sneakers, I agree.
He can wear sneakers today on this bright and sunny day.
He doesn't need the snow boots because it's not snowing out.
Let's save these for a snowy day and put on his sneakers.
Great.
I think he's ready for this bright and sunny day.
But Weather Koala told me that he has a lot of books to bring
and a lot of toys to bring with him today.
So what should he put them in?
Oh, maybe a backpack.
Yes, his blue backpack.
Hmm, I heard that B-B-B sound again.
I think backpack starts with letter B.
B again, another word that starts with B.
Backpack.
Let's put his backpack on.
Here you go, Weather Koala.
Now he's ready for the sunny day.
See you tomorrow, Weather Koala.
Great.
Now guess what time it is.
It's time for our dance party.
I'm so excited.
I have to stand up today.
I'm going to dance with you while I stand.
But don't worry.
If you can't stand, it's okay.
You can sit and dance.
We can still have a good time.
So first up, our color song.
Listen for your color, okay?
And then next we'll sing the freeze.
So first the color song and second will be the freeze dance.
Here we go.
Are you ready?
Great.
Get ready.
Here we go.
Remember, listen for your color.
Get ready.
Here we go.
All my friends wear purple.

Hey, one more time.
Sit down.
OK, our second song is the freeze dance.
Now remember, when the music stops, you freeze.
And you can freeze in whatever pose you want.
But when you freeze, that means to stop.
You cannot move.
Are you ready?
Get ready.
