Now let's find out what our letter of the week is.
Who remembers the letter of the week?
It makes that sound like that.
The letter of the week is,
H.
Yes, H is the letter of the week.
Every letter makes a sound and H says huh.
Very good, you remember.
Let's put H on the board.
Hello, H.

H for house, huh, huh, house.
Great.

Great job, so many things start with letter H.
Don't forget, you can keep going around your home
and finding more things that start with letter H.

You wanna tell me something that starts with H?
Okay, I'm listening.
Shout it out, tell me.

There's so many things that start with H.
You keep on looking.
Now, let's go down to the shape of the week.
What's our shape of the week?
Oh, the shape of the week is such a special shape.
It makes me feel loved.
Loved, yes, and it makes me think of strawberries.
The shape of the week is heart.
Yes, heart.
Remember, I showed you some strawberries yesterday
that look like hearts,
and the heart also reminds me of leaves
that sometimes are shaped like a heart.
There are lots of things that we can find
that remind us of a heart.
Let's put heart on the board, okay?
Heart, I can even make the heart with my fingers.
Can you make a heart shape with your fingers?
Take our fingers, close them a little bit,
put them together, and we can make a heart, heart.
The shape of the week is a heart.
Now, let's go down to our number of the week.
Who remembers the number of the week?
Yesterday, we counted all of these houses,
and we had how many houses?
We had 12, 12 houses,
and 12 is the number of the week.
Can you say 12?
Great, a one and a two together, like this, is 12.
Let's put 12 on the board.
12 on the board, there we go.
Now, let's start with counting our houses.
I'm going to take them off the board really, really quick,
so you can help me count them aloud, okay?
I have our houses.
Are you ready to help me count?
Okay, I'll put them on the board.
You count aloud, nice and loud, so I can hear you.
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine,
10, 11, 12, 12 houses.
We have 12 houses.
Can you say that?
We have 12 houses.
Great, now I wanna go over to our drawing and writing board,
and I am going to write the numbers one
all the way through 12,
and you can help me say them aloud.
Meet me over there.
Great, you made it.
Now, let's write our numbers from one all the way through 12.
I'll write the numbers, you say them aloud,
and remember, nice and loud, so I can hear you.
I'm going to use the blue marker.
Here we go.
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine,
10, 11, 12.
Numbers one through 12.
Now, I'm going to get the pointer
so we can count them one more time.
I'll point to them, you say them aloud.
Are you ready?
Great, let's do it.
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine,
10, 11, 12, 12 numbers.
You did it.
You helped me count the numbers.
Our number of the week is 12.
12 is our number of the week.
Okay, let's go back over to our board.
Now, I want to know, 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.
You can do that and come back and tell me what you see.
I'll give you a little bit of time.
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's the weather where you live?
Oh, wow, ooh.
Now, I want to find out what the weather is here
where I live.
I'm going to look out my window.
Oh, ooh, I see lots of rain.
It's raining outside today.
It's raining here where I live.
Can you help me find a picture that represents a rainy day?
Great, which picture do you think represents
a rainy, rainy day?
You can point.
Which one has the rain?
Ah, yes, if you said this one, you're correct.
This one is actually snow.
This is a snowy day.
So let's save this for a snowy day
and let's put up a rainy day picture on the board.
There you go.
The weather is rainy.
It's a rainy day.
You can help me read it.
Let's do it.
The weather is rainy.
Now, we need to help our friend, Mr. Weather Bear.
That's right.
Let's help Mr. Weather Bear get dressed
for the rainy, rainy day.
Hmm, since it's raining, I know first,
Mr. Weather Bear is going to need,
what do you think he needs on his head?
His rain, what's that called?
Ha, ha, ha, hat.
Yes, his rain hat.
Mr. Weather Bear likes to wear his rain hat
when it's raining out.
And remember, H says ha, ha,
and hat starts with letter H.
Great, now, Mr. Weather Bear,
I think you should put your pants on for the day.
His favorite blue jeans with the belt.
Okay, good.
Now, what about his jacket or coat?
Hmm, I wonder what he should wear.
Do you think he should wear this green jacket
or this yellow raincoat?
You can point.
Oh, I agree.
If you pick the yellow raincoat,
I agree because it's raining and he wants to stay dry.
Let's save the jacket for another day.
Here's your raincoat, Mr. Weather Bear.
And now, he needs something on his feet.
Should he wear his rain boots or his sneakers?
You can point.
Oh, I agree.
If you pick rain boots,
yes, Mr. Weather Bear wants to keep his feet dry.
Let's save his sneakers for another day, a dry day.
Okay, Mr. Weather Bear, here you go.
Oh, oh, what's that?
You think he needs an umbrella?
Good idea.
I think he needs an umbrella too because it's raining out.
I'll give Mr. Weather Bear his umbrella
so we can put it on this side.
Here you go, Mr. Weather Bear.
There's your umbrella.
I think he's ready for the rainy day.
Bye, Mr. Weather Bear.
Stay dry.
We did it.
We completed the entire circle time board.
We even counted from one to 12 today.
We helped Mr. Weather Bear get dressed
for the rainy weather.
And now, it's time for a circle time song.
Today, we're going to do a finger song, okay?
It's called the finger family song.
You may know it.
And if you don't know it, it's okay.
You can sing along with me.
So, let's get our fingers ready.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.
I think you're ready.
I'm ready too.
Okay, sing along with me.
Ready?
Here we go.
