Here we go.
I have many feelings.
Feelings are what I have.

Feelings are what I have.
I have many feelings.
Feelings are what I have.
Sometimes I'm happy.
Sometimes I'm sad.
Sometimes I'm silly.
Sometimes I'm mad.
Sometimes I'm sleepy.
Sometimes surprised.
When I'm scared of something, I close my eyes.
All these emotions, they can make me cry.
I have many feelings.
Feelings are what I have.
I have many feelings.
Feelings are what I have.
When I'm happy, I like to smile.
When I'm sad, I make a frown.
Sometimes I'm up.
Sometimes I'm down.
When I'm silly, I laugh out loud.
Now I know that feelings are what I have.
I have many feelings.
Feelings are what I have.

Please don't make me sad.
I have many feelings.
Can you make me laugh?
I have many feelings.

And you have many feelings as well.

So how about we finish our board review?
It's time for board review.
And now I need my circle time cart.
Let me go and pull it over.
Now I have everything I need.
Oh, but I do need to get my...
My...
My circle time pointer.
Here it is.
Now we are really ready for our board review.
Let's start at the top with our days of the week.
Are you ready to sing the days of the week?
Great.
Remember, when you sing days of the week, you can snap your fingers.
One, two.
Or you can clap your hands.
Clap, clap.
Get ready.
Here we go.
There's Sunday and there's Monday.
There's Tuesday and there's Wednesday.
There's Thursday and there's Friday.

Now it's the perfect time for us to go down our circle time board.
The weather is...
I wonder, what's the weather?
What's the weather?
Oh, friends, you can find out what the weather is where you live.
Now, you may have to take a peek out your window.
Then come back and tell me what you see.
I'll give you some time.
Are you back?
Great.

Oh, really?
Well, thank you for sharing what your weather is today.

Everyone say hi to Koala.
Hi, Koala.
Hola, my friends.

Well, right now, it's really chilly outside, but it's very, very sunny.
Oh, wow.
It's chilly and sunny out today.
Well, Koala, what are you going to wear on this chilly, sunny day?

It's a sunny day.
Okay, let's keep on going.
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do.

Oh, I wonder what our letter of the day is.
Let's take a look.
Hmm.
Letter M is our letter of the day.
Can you say M?
Again.

One more time.
And watch how I say it.

Every letter makes the sound.
And M says M again.
M.
Can you try and make that sound with me?
Here we go.
M.
One more time.
M.
That's right.
Let's see if we can think of some words
that start with that letter M sound.
Hmm.

The diamond actually is also called

That's right.
The diamond has
four sides
that are four straight lines.
Let's count these four
straight lines.
One, two,
on the other side,

Wow. And the diamond
has four points.
Let's count these
four points together.

Good job.
How about you try counting

Wiggle Break.
Are you ready?
Great.

It's time to move your
body.
Let's slide.
Slide.
Let's slide.
Shake, shake, shake.
It's time to move your
body.
Let's stomp in place.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.
Stomp, stomp, stomp.
And stop.
Woo!
That was so much fun.
Oh, did you hear that?
It's the doorbell. Listen.
Our guests are here.
It's Myla Birdie and Sara.
Hola, hola Miss Monica.
How are you today?
Hola, hola, hola.
Senora, como estas?
Oh, I feel very good.
Thank you for being here.
I'm Sara and this is Myla Birdie.
And we're Bilingual Birdies.
What does bilingual mean?
Oh, when you're bilingual, that means you speak
two languages.
I speak English and Spanish.
And Myla Birdie here, well, she's still
learning English. She mainly speaks Spanish.
So if we want to speak with her,
we need to learn a few words in Spanish.
Oh, did you hear that?
She says she speaks Spanish because her mom
is from Mexico and her dad
is from Colombia.
That's why she speaks Spanish.
Well, let's see how she's doing today.
In Spanish we say,
Myla, como estas?
Let's repeat after Sara.
Myla, como estas?
Oh, she said she's hungry.
Can you all rub your bellies and say,
Tengo hambre.
Yeah, let's see
what does she want to eat today.
I'll ask her in Spanish. We say,
Que quieres comer?
Sara, can you say it with us?
Que quieres comer?
Manzanas
are apples.
Mmm, apples are so yummy.
Let's practice in Spanish.
Repeat after me.
Manzanas, manzanas, manzanas.
Let's practice a little more.
When I say apples, you say manzanas.
Apples. Manzanas.
Well,
Miss Monica, do you know where we can find
some apples around here?
I have an idea.
Let's use our imaginations and pretend
there's a big apple tree here.
Great idea.
Okay, my friends, manos arriba.
Hands up. Let's get
four apples for Myla.
Because four is the number of the day.
Cuatro manzanas. Ready?
Dos. Tres.
Cuatro. Cuatro.
Give them to Myla.
What did she say?
They were so yummy, so delicious.
Oh, Sarah,
can you teach us some more words in Spanish?
Mi canción favorita.
Great idea. Déjame preguntar.
Miss Monica, Myla really would
like to know, can we sing her favorite
song? It's a great way for the children to learn
some Spanish.
Sí, Myla.
Okay, everyone repeat after me.
Hola. Hola.
¿Cómo estás?
Muy bien.
That means hello. How are you?
Very well.
Tap, tap, tap.
Here we go.
Hola, hola. ¿Cómo estás?
Muy bien.
Hola, hola. ¿Cómo estás?
Muy bien.
Hola, hola. ¿Cómo estás?
Muy bien.
Hola, hola. ¿Cómo estás?
Muy bien.
That was fun.
Gracias, Myla.
Uh, Myla.
¿Qué pasó? ¿Estás bien?
Oh, she said she's tired.
She wants to go take a nap.
Okay.
Well, until next time.
Everyone say hasta luego, Myla.
Hasta luego, Myla.
Circle time
Circle time makes learning fun.
Sing and dance, come everyone.
Hello to you.
