Hello everyone, thank you all for coming to Circle.
And now I need to find my pointer, my pointer.
This is my CircleTime pointer, and I use this to point to things on our CircleTime board.
Now today is a special day.
Let's go ahead and find out what day it is today.
You think you know?
Oh, don't tell me yet, don't tell me.
Let's start with our days of the week.
We'll sing our days of the week, and remember when you sing, you can clap your hands, you
can snap your fingers, or you can just sing, whatever you choose.
Ready?
Great.
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.
Days of the week, days of the week, days of the week,
days of the week, you did it, great.
Now I wonder what day is today?
Let's go to our board.
Yesterday was Wednesday, so let's go down one.
Today is Thursday.
That's right, today is Thursday.
Today is Thursday, today is Thursday,
today is Thursday all day long, yes.
Today is Thursday, today is Thursday,
today is Thursday all day long, yes, yes.
Today is Thursday.
Now let's put it on the board and you can help me read it.
Can you help me read the sentence?
Today is Thursday and Thursday is our special day
because what do we do here in circle time on Thursday?
Who remembers?
Yes, we dance.
If you said dance, you're correct.
It's dance party Thursday and I'm wearing my rainbow jacket.
Remember, my rainbow jacket makes me feel so happy
and dancing makes me feel so happy
so I can't wait until we dance.
But first, we have to finish our entire circle time board
and then we get to dance at the end, okay?
Let's get started.
So we know today is Thursday.
What's our number of the week?
We've been counting this number all week,
all the way up to this number.
From one all the way to number, who remembers?
11, 11 is our number of the week
and number 11 has two ones.
Two ones together make number 11.
Let's put 11 on the board.
Yes, our number of the week is 11
and now let's count our 11 donuts.
One, oh, oh no, our donuts are not there.
Well, let me see if I can find them.
I found our donuts.
Are you ready to count them?
Okay, I'll put them on the board.
You count aloud.
Ready?
Great, let's do it.
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine,
10, 11, 11 donuts.
Should we count them with our pointer as well?
Great, let's do it.
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine,
10, 11.
Now let's move down.
Letter of the week.
What's our letter of the week?
Every letter makes a sound and in, in says n.
That's right, letter n.
N is our letter of the week.
We've been talking about so many things
that start with letter n.
Like n for nails, nails, nails, nails
and n for nails, another type of nail, great.
N for neck, neck, neck, neck.
N for nap, I'm taking a nap.
N for nut, nut, great.
N for neighbor, neighbor.
N for no, no, no, no.
N for net, net, net, net, great.
So many things start with letter n
and you've really been helping me do such a great job
finding things that start with letter n.
You keep looking and we'll keep going over
more things that start with letter n.
Okay, I'll put n on the board.
There it goes, n.
Now let's try tracing our n.
I'm going to actually go over to the
drawing and writing board so we can practice together.
You'll practice tracing it in the air
with your pointer finger.
I'm going to practice writing it on the board.
You can follow me, okay?
Let's go.
Okay, I'm going to use a purple marker today
to write the letter n, right?
I'm going to write it and you use that pointer finger
to trace it in the air, okay?
We're going to start at the top.
So everyone point your fingers up.
You start at the top.
I'll trace it here or write it here on the board.
Start at the top and let's together go down, stop.
Back to the top, go down to the right and up.
Ooh, let's try that again.
Start at the top, go down, go back to the top,
go down to the right and up.
N, letter n.
Yes, great trying.
Really great tracing in the air.
And tomorrow we're going to practice writing the letter n.
So tomorrow bring your paper and your crayon.
Tomorrow, not today.
Today we're going to dance, dance, dance, dance, okay?
Great, I'm going to put my marker away.
Meet you back at the board.
Oh, you're back, great.
Now let's go on to our shape of the week.
What's our shape of the week?
Who remembers?
This shape has no sides, no sides.
It just goes around and it reminds me of a donut.
Who remembers?
Oh, great.
If you said circle, you're correct.
The circle is our shape of the week.
Let's put it on the board.
Remember, the circle has no sides.
It just goes around and around, stop.
Yes, why don't you put your pointer finger in the air
and let's try and trace it together.
You ready?
Start at the top and go around, back to the top.
Great, again, around, back to the top.
One more time, around and back to the top.
Great tracing your circle.
Now I'm wondering, 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.
I'll give you some time.
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
Oh, are you back?
Hello, so what's the weather where you live?
Really?
Well, let me find out what the weather is here
where I live.
I'm going to look out my window.
So the weather where I live looks partly sunny.
There's clouds, but I also see lots of sun peeking out.
It's partly sunny today.
Let's see if we can find a picture
that represents partly sunny.
Can you help me find it?
Great, I have my weather bag.
I wanna find a partly sunny picture.
Do you think I should choose this one?
No, that's rainy.
That's a rainy day, yes.
How about this one?
There's a sun and there are clouds.
It's a partly sunny day.
I'm putting it on the board.
Now we can read it.
It says the weather is sunny.
You can't read it.
Let me move that out the way.
Now let's read it.
The weather is partly sunny.
A partly sunny day.
It's feeling a little warm.
I think we can help Mr. Weather Bear.
Do you see him?
Oh, you see him?
Where?
Where's Mr. Weather Bear?
Is he outside the window?
No, he's not out there.
Is he up on my ceiling?
Oh no, I don't see him up there either.
Is he down on my floor?
No, I don't see him there.
Where is he?
Oh, behind me.
Oh, he's behind me.
Let me turn around and see.
There he is.
He is behind me.
Thank you for helping me find Mr. Weather Bear.
Now let's get him ready for our partly sunny day.
I have my weather bear bag.
Let's see if we can find something for him to wear today.
Let's start with his shoes.
It's a little warm out.
So do you think weather bear should be wearing
his flip flops for the beach or his sneakers?
Oh yes, let's put these flip flops away
because it's not beach weather yet.
It's not really hot.
Not here where I live.
So not time for the beach,
but his sneakers are a good idea.
Let's put them on.
Okay, Mr. Weather Bear, your sneakers are on.
Now let's put on his favorite blue jeans.
Great.
And he needs something up top.
Do you think he should wear his raincoat or his green jacket?
Oh yes, let's save the raincoat for a rainy day
and let's put on his green jacket
because it's a light jacket.
So he won't get too hot.
We'll put it on.
Great.
Oh, what's that?
You think he needs something for his head?
Oh yeah, something that can block the sun out of his eyes.
I think I have something.
Do you think he should wear a rain hat or a cap?
Oh, if you said cap, I agree.
The cap will help to block the sun out of his eyes.
The rain hat, we can save for a rainy day.
Let's put his cap on.
There you go.
Mr. Weather Bear is ready for the partly sunny day.
See you later, Mr. Weather Bear.
We'll see him tomorrow.
We did it.
We finished the entire circle time board
and now it's time for our dance party.
All right, let's get started.
Remember, listen for your color.
Get ready, get ready, here we go.
All my friends wearing blue, get up, get up
and dance, dance, dance, dance, sit down.
Let's go.
All my friends wearing yellow, get up, get up
and dance, dance, dance, dance, sit down.
Keep going.
All my friends wearing brown, get up, get up
and dance, dance, dance, dance, sit down.
Keep going.
All my friends wearing red, get up, get up!
And dance, dance, dance, dance it down.
Uh huh!
All my friends wearing green, get up, get up!
And dance, dance, dance, dance it down.
Keep going!
All my friends wearing orange, get up, get up!
And dance, dance, dance, dance it down.
All my friends wearing pink, get up, get up!
And dance, dance, dance, dance it down.
Keep going.
All my friends wearing purple, get up, get up.
And dance, dance, dance, dance it down.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance it down.
Good job, everyone.
Great dancing today.
Great listening today.
I had so much fun with all of you.
I hope you had fun too.
But guess what?
We finished our entire circle time board.
We did our dancing and our singing.
Do you know what time it is?
It's time to say goodbye.
