Okay now my friends, it's time for us to practice writing our letter of the week. Letter R. Uppercase R and lowercase R. Okay I'm going to choose a marker. I'm going to use my purple marker today but first before I write with the purple marker, I need to move some numbers so we have room to write. I think we need some room right over here. I'm going to move number 20. I'm going to move number, oops, sorry about that, 15. I'm going to move number 15 and I'm going to move number 16. Number 16. So we have lots of space. Look at that. Wow we have lots of space to write. Okay my friends, now I'm going to take my marker, my purple marker. You take out something to write with and something to write on. I think I'm actually going to move 17 as well. Okay come on 17. Here we go. 17. Now we have a lot of space to write. Okay now once you have something to write with and something to write on, we can get started. Let's start with uppercase R first. We'll start uppercase R. Let's try it three times. We can do it. Okay. Okay. You can watch me the first time if you'd like or you can try along. Just listen and watch and we can do it together. Uppercase R. Find a space on your paper or your board. We're going to start at the top. Start at the top and we're going to draw a straight line going down. Straight line down. Go back to the top. Back to the top of your line and curve around to the middle. Curve around. Go to the middle and draw a diagonal line down. Uppercase R. Let's try it again. Find another space. Start at the top. Draw a straight line going down. Go back to the top and draw a curved line around to the middle. Now go to the middle and draw a diagonal line down. Uppercase R. Let's do it again. One more time. Right here. Uppercase R. Start at the top. Let's draw a straight line going down. Go back to the top. Now draw a curved line around to the middle. Go to the middle and draw a diagonal line down. Uppercase R. Now, friends at home, if you need a little help, you can ask someone at home to help you. You can also trace the letter R as well. You can trace it. Now let's try our lowercase R. Lowercase R. Lowercase R is just a little smaller. It's not as big as uppercase R. So when we write it on the line, we start in the middle of the line. But we don't have lines here and that's okay. But we'll start in the middle. We won't write it as big. I'll do it down here. Lowercase R. Find a space, my friends. And we start with a straight line going down. Straight line down. Go back to the top of the line and curve around just a little. See that? Curve around just a little bit. Let's do it again. Find a space again. And we're going to start with a straight line going down. Straight line down. Go back to the top of that line. And we're going to curve just a little. Curve a little. Just a little. Like a little bump. A little hill. Okay. One more time. Lowercase R. Find a space. And we're going to start with a straight line down. Straight line down. Go back to the top of that line. And you're going to curve around just a little. Curve up and around just a little. Lowercase R. Lowercase R. I made that line really long. But there it is. Uppercase R. Lowercase R. We did it. And my friends, remember, the more you practice, the better you get. So keep on practicing your letter R. Trace it. Write it. Keep on practicing. Good job, my friends. We did it. We completed the entire circle time board. And now it's time for us to sing our circle time song. Are you ready? Great. Come on. Let's go. Okay, my friends. Now that we're back at our desk, we can get ready for our circle time song. Our circle time song is the name song. Remember, when you sing the name song, you listen for the first letter in your name. My name is Monica. That's my first name. So I'm listening for M for Monica. So when I hear the letter M, I can clap, clap. So listen for the first letter in your name. Okay, friends. Get ready. And you can use instruments. You can clap your hands. Have lots of fun singing this song. Here we go. Get ready. Get ready. Here we go. Remember, friends, listen for the first letter in your name. If your name starts with A, clap your hands. If your name starts with B, clap your hands. If your name starts with C or D, clap your hands. If your name starts with X, or Y, or Z, clap your hands.
