Bye-bye Monday. Okay, Monday's gone. And today is, let's go down our days of the week. Yesterday was Monday and after Monday is Tuesday. Tuesday. T for Tuesday. Tuesday. Today is Tuesday. Let's put up Tuesday. And now let's read the sentence. I'll read it first, then we'll read it together. Today is Tuesday. Now let's read it together. Today is Tuesday. T for Tuesday. I like Tuesdays. Do you like Tuesdays? T for Tuesday. Today is Tuesday. Thank you for helping me figure out what day it is today. Now we know today is Tuesday. All day is Tuesday. Let's sing it. Today is Tuesday.

Let me grab it. I have it. Who remembers what is our number of the week? Eight. Our number of the week is eight. Eight, eight, eight. Remember I said yesterday, sometimes the number eight can actually look like it's two circles sitting on top of each other. One on top, one on the bottom. Or it can actually look like two S's. S. Number eight, eight. And today I want you to help me to build a fence. We're going to use eight sticks. The same sticks we counted yesterday, we're going to use today. And we're going to count eight sticks to build our fence. You think you can help me? Yes? Great. Let me get my sticks. I have my sticks. Let's count eight sticks to build our fence. Let's do it together. One. Let's put on one. One. Two. Let's put on two. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Number eight. Eight. Do we have eight sticks? Did we build a fence? I think we did. But let's double check. We're going to count together. Ready? Pointer. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. We did it. We have eight sticks. We used eight sticks to build our fence. What do you think? Do you like our fence? How does it look? Oh, you like it? Great. I like it too. I love our fence because it's so colorful. Just like the rainbows we've been talking about this week. It's so colorful. Thank you for helping me count our sticks to make our fence. Thank you. Now let's find out what's the weather today. Did you look outside today? Did you look outside your window? Or maybe you looked out your door. Or maybe you went outside. What's the weather where you live? Wow. Well, the weather here where I live, it's raining. It is a rainy, rainy, rainy, rainy day today. Today's a rainy day where I live. And so I wanna dress Mr. Weather Bear because he lives with me. So I wanna dress him for the weather here. And it's raining outside. But before we dress him, let's find the picture that we can put here for the weather. I have my weather pictures. Let's see which weather picture matches the day that I'm having today. Okay. Let's see if it matches the weather outside where I live. How about this picture? Is it sunny out? Nope. It's not sunny today. No sun today. Remember I said it's raining. Is it, where is that? Oh no. Is it cold and snowing out? No. I don't know if you can see that picture, but that's a picture of a snowflake just to represent snowing. But it's not snowing today. Not snowing. It's actually, can you see that? Raining. That's a picture of the rain. It's raining out. So I think this is the perfect picture to put here. The weather is raining. Let's read that sentence together. Are you ready? Let's read it together. The weather is rainy. We're just going to say rainy. It's a rainy day out. The weather is rainy. A rainy day. Now that we know it's raining outside and that's the weather here where I live, what should we put on Mr. Weather Bear? Yesterday he had his scarf on, but since it's raining today, maybe we can put something different on him. So I got my bag filled with Mr. Weather Bear's clothes. Yesterday he wore sneakers, but since it's raining today, do you think, let me find them. Do you think Mr. Weather Bear should wear his rain boots? It's raining out, so should he wear rain boots or should he wear sneakers? What do you think? Oh, I heard someone say rain boots. Okay, let's put the rain boots on. All right, Mr. Weather Bear, rain boots it is. He's wearing rain boots because it's raining out. Oops, you stay there, Mr. Weather Bear. Don't come off now. Stay right there. Now yesterday he had on his big coat with a scarf, but since it's raining out, do you think he should wear a rain coat or a winter coat? A rain coat or a winter coat? What did you say? Oh, I heard someone say a rain coat. I happen to agree. I think Mr. Weather Bear should wear his rain coat. Oh, but he's missing something. What is he missing? That's right, he has on no pants. Let's find his pants. Now right now, Mr. Weather Bear loves these jeans. These blue jeans are his favorite, so let's put his blue jeans on. Not shorts, his jeans. And I think he's ready to go. He has his rain coat, his jeans on, he has his rain boots. Do you think he needs anything else? Oh, someone said, what is it? Oh, you think he should wear a rain hat? Well, let me see. I don't know. Do we have a rain hat for you, Mr. Weather Bear? Let me look. He may have a rain hat. Oh, I think you are right. He has a rain hat. Let's put on his rain hat. All right, Mr. Weather Bear has on his rain hat. Now he has on his rain hat. He has on his rain coat, his jeans, and his rain boots. Should he put anything else on? Oh, is that so? Oh, I heard someone say he needs to carry an umbrella. An umbrella? Well, I happen to agree. Maybe Mr. Weather Bear should carry an umbrella. And I happen to find his cute little umbrella right here. So let's put that on. Here, Mr. Weather Bear, here's your umbrella. There he goes, he's set. He is ready to go. I think he's ready for the rain. What do you think? Do you think he's ready for the rain? Let's check. Rain hat, check. Rain coat, check. Jeans or pants, check. Rain boots, check. And he has his umbrella, check. I think he's ready for the rain. I think you're right. He's ready for the rain. All right, Mr. Weather Bear, have a good day. We'll see him later. We'll see him tomorrow, actually. We'll see him tomorrow. Now, who remembers what our shape of the week is? What's our shape of the week? What shape are we talking about this week? Oh, some of you have been listening. We are talking about the square, the square, the square, the square, the square, the square, the square. Our shape of the week is the square, the square, the square. OK, let's put up square. Shape of the week is the square. and the square has, remember, four sides. Let's count the sides of the square together. Four sides it has. One, two, three, four. Four sides of the square. There are four sides on a square. One, two, three, four. Four sides on a square, that's right. And we can use our pointer finger, let's try it today. Pointer finger up, let's try to trace a square. In the air, we're imagining that we're writing a square or tracing a square on paper. Let's pretend this is our paper, and we're going to trace the square that's on the paper. Let's start at the very, very top. Get your pointer fingers up. Start at the top and follow me along and go across for one, down for the other side, across for the other side, and up for the other side. That's our square. Now let's count one, two, three, four while we trace. Are you ready? Pointer finger up, follow me. One, two, three, four. You did it, one more time. One, two, three, four. You did it, you traced a square. You imagined tracing a square on your paper. Great effort, thank you for tracing your square. Good for you. So we found out that today is Tuesday. We know our number of the week is, what number? Eight. And our letter of the week, we forgot to put our letter of the week. What is the letter of the week? How could we forget? Let's see who remembers. This special letter, I'm coming a little closer so I can grab my letter. This special letter makes the sound F. Every letter makes a sound and F says F. Good for you. Some of you did remember F. F is our letter of the week. F for fan, F fan. F for frog, F frog. F for fish, fish. F for fire, F fire. F for flag, F flag. F for flower, F flower. Now, let's use our imaginary pointers again. Get your pointer finger up and we're going to trace the letter F. So first, we're going to trace it with me. I'm going to hold it up and we're going to trace it together and then I'm going to put the F back and we're going to trace it in the air together. So pointer fingers up, start with me at the top and you can say it with me too, okay? Are you ready? Good, let's do it. Down, stop. Back to the top. Across, stop. And in the middle, across, stop. And that's the letter F. Now let's try it together in the air. Point your fingers up. We'll start at the top. And go down, back to the top. Across on the top. In the middle, across in the middle. That's your F. There you have it, letter F. F says ff. Every letter has a sound and F says ff. Nice job, you all. Thank you so much for trying, for saying the F, for tracing your F and for doing the entire circle time. Now let's review our circle. What did we learn today and what did we review today? So we know today is Tuesday. Our number of the week is eight. Our letter of the week, oh, look at him twisting, is F. And we even built the fence today and counted eight sticks. Let's make sure we have eight before you go. Really quick, let's count them. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. We did it. And we found out that the weather where I live is rainy. It's a rainy, rainy day. And we dressed Mr. Weather Bear for the rain because remember, he lives with me, so he has to dress for the rain. And the shape of the week is a square. The shape of the week is a square. You did it. You completed circle time for today, Tuesday. Thank you all for joining me. But, oh, what was that? You're right. We didn't sing our circle time song of the day. Let's pick a song. Here's our song cards. Here they are. Let's see what the song of the day is. Our song of the day is, can you see that?
