sentence together. Today is Friday. Wow! We have gotten all the way down here, all the way down
to Friday. We've been doing so many things. Let's see what you remember. Let's keep going.
Now, the number of the week. Who remembers the number of the week? Oh, you remember? We've
been counting all week long. Who remembers what number we've been counting to? You do?
Let's see if you're right. The number of the week is 11. Yes! 11 is our number of the week.
Remember, the two ones together make number 11. All week we've been counting to 11. We were
counting our donuts and we were counting numbers. Wait a minute. Something's missing. Let's put our
11 on the board first. 11 on the board. Hey, where are our donuts? Our donuts are missing.
Let me see if I can find them. I found our donuts. Can you help me count all the way to 11 with the
donuts? I'll put the donuts on the board. You can count aloud. You ready? Great! Let's do it.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. 11 donuts. You did it! You helped me count to 11. We have 11
donuts. Let's use our pointer and touch each donut and count. I'll touch the donut with the
pointer. You count aloud. Ready? Great! Let's do it. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. 11 donuts.
Now let's move on to our letter of the week. Who remembers the letter of the week? You remember?
You do? Tell me. Please tell me. I'm listening. Oh my goodness. Let me get the letter. Our letter
of the week is N. If you said N, you are correct. N is the letter of the week. Do you remember some
of the things we've been saying? Start with letter N. N for nails. The nails on our fingers.
And N for nails. The nails we use to build and fix things. N for nuts. Yes! And N for neighbor.
Neighbor. N for nap. I'm taking a nap. N for nose. Nose. That's right. N for no. No, no, no.
And I bet you know some things that start with letter N. Can you say them aloud? Let me hear.
Yes! Yes! So many things start with letter N. Oh, I almost forgot my N for net. Yes! So many
things start with letter N. Every letter makes a sound and N says N. That's right. Letter N.
Now, I'm going to put N on the board and we are going to practice writing N. But first,
let's do our shape of the week and then we'll go over to our writing and drawing board because
we're also going to draw the shape of the week. So, what is our shape of the week? Who remembers?
I'll give you a clue. It reminds me of a donut. Hmm. A circle. The shape of the week is a circle
and the donuts are shaped just like a circle. Look at our donuts here. They're shaped just
like a circle. They go around. Right. They do. So, let's put the shape of the week on the board.
There you go. Now, remember, the shape of the week, the circle, has no sides. No sides.
It just goes around and around and around. No sides. Now, we are going to go over to our
drawing and writing board over there and we're going to practice writing the letter N and drawing
the circle. Okay. So, if you need to stop the video, you can. So, you can get crayon, pencil,
paper, notebook, anything you have. So, you can practice writing and drawing and if you don't
have those things, it's okay. You can practice in the air with your pointer finger. Okay. Great.
I'll meet you over at the drawing and writing board. Oh, you made it over to the drawing and
writing board. Great. So, I'm going to use my blue marker to start and we're going to start with
writing our letter N. Now, if you're not writing it because you don't have a crayon or a pencil,
it's okay. You can use your pointer finger up in the air. So, you follow along with my words as I
say down and then go up. You follow along with your pointer finger and those of you writing,
you can follow along on your paper. Okay. Let's do it together. We're going to practice a few
N's. Are you ready? Great. Let's go. Okay. Let's start at the top and we go down first. Down,
then go back to the top and go down to the right and up. Letter N. Let's do another one. I'll do
one here. Ready? We start at the top and go down, stop. Now, go back to the top and go down to the
right and up. Let's try again. Start at the top, go down, go back to the top, go down to the right
and up. Let's do another. Ready? Start at the top, go down, stop. Go back to the top. Let's go
down to the right and up. There you go. Did you do it? Great trying. You keep trying and practicing
and I'm going to write a few more on the board. Here we go. Start at the top, go down,
back to the top, down to the right and up. Another. Go down, back to the top,
go down to the right and up. Let's do another. I'll do it here. Go down, go back to the top,
go down to the right and up. One more I'm going to do. And go down, go back to the top,
go down to the right and up. Wow. Letter N. You're doing a great job trying. I'm so happy you're
writing and if you're not writing on your paper, you're tracing it in the air with your pointer
finger. Great work. You can keep practicing while I erase the board because we're going to get ready
to practice drawing our circle. Now we're ready to draw the circle. I'm going to use brown to draw
our circle. Now remember the circle has no sides. No sides. It just goes around. Right? Now remember
if you're doing this in the air with your pointer finger, you just start at the top and you go
around and you stop. If you're doing it on your paper, you can listen and follow me, but everyone
should be listening so you know which way to go and how to draw. Are you ready? Let's do it. Okay,
I'm going to start here. Start at the top and go around and stop. Let's do another. Start at the
top. Around and stop. Let's do another. Start at the top. Around and stop. Let's do another. Start
at the top. Around and stop. Let's do two more. I'll do one here and one here. Start at the top.
Go around and stop. That one looks funny. Start at the top. Go around and stop. Whoa, look at my
circles. So many circles. Did you do it? Did you try? Great. I'm so happy you're trying. You can
keep practicing your circles and writing your ends at home. You can keep practicing with your pointer
in the air or on your paper. Now we're going to stop here. I'm going to put my marker away and 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. I'll give you a little bit of time.
Are you back? Hey, so what's the weather where you live? Really? Well, let me look out of my window
and see what the weather is here where I live. I'm looking out my window. Oh, wow. I see lots and lots
of clouds and I do not see the sun. It's a cloudy day here. A cloudy day. Can you help me find a
picture that represents cloudy? Great. Let me get the weather bag. I found the weather bag. Let's see
if we can find a picture that represents cloudy. Remember, I don't see any sun, only lots and lots of
clouds. Which picture do you think I should use for cloudy? That's right. This picture because this
picture has snow and it's not snowing out. So we'll save this for a snowy day. This is the cloudy
picture, only clouds. Let's put it on the board. And it's just a little bit chilly, just a little
bit outside. So should we help our friend Mr. Weather Bear get ready for the cloudy weather?
Yes, let's do it. I have my weather bear bag. Let's see what we can find for Mr. Weather Bear.
It's a little chilly, so I think he really should put some sleeves on and maybe, maybe a jacket.
I think a jacket would be really good. What do you think? His tank top that he wears at the beach
or his jacket? Because it's a chilly day. You can point. His green jacket. This is a good idea for
this chilly, cloudy day because the tank top is for the beach weather, hot, hot weather. So let's
save this for a beach day. We'll put on the jacket. Now let's put on his favorite blue jeans with the
There you go. And do you think he should put on his sneakers or his rain boots? You can point.
Great, I agree. Let's put on his sneakers. Let's save the rain boots for another day, a rainy day.
Sneakers it is. And what do you think? Should he put on a rain hat or his cap? A cap today.
I agree. Since it's not raining, we can save the rain hat for another day.
Here you go, Mr. Weather Bear. He's ready for this cloudy, cloudy day. Thank you for all your help.
See you later, Weather Bear. We did it. We finished the entire circle time board.
Thank you for all your help. And now we are ready for our circle time song. Are you ready?
Can you help me sing today? Great. Let's find out what we're singing today.
I have my circle time song cards. Let's see what song is on top.
Looks like this song is on top. Do you remember what song that is? Yes, wheels on the bus. We're
going to sing the wheels on the bus. I'm going to turn on some music. We're going to listen to the
words so we know what to do. And we use our hands to make different motions, like the wheels going
round and round, the horn going beep beep, the wipers going swish swish, and we can use our body
to go up and down when they say the people on the bus go up and down. Okay, are you ready to sing?
Great. Let's start the music.
You can dance.
Listen. The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round.
The wheels on the bus go round and round, all through the town. Dance.
