Let's head over to our Circle Time board.
Come on.
Let's go together.
Oh, my friends.
Now that we're here at the Circle Time board,
I need to find my pointer.
My Circle Time pointer.
So we can review our board.
Oh, will you help me, friends?
Will you help me with the days of the week?
Great.
Let's sing it together.
Get ready.

We did it.
Oh, but we still need to find out what day it is today.
Oh, let's go back to the board.
Yesterday was Thursday.
Dance party Thursday.
Oh, I hope you had fun yesterday.
Now, let's go down one.
Today is Friday.
Can you say Friday?
Friday.
Today is Friday.
Today is Friday all day long.
Yes, today is Friday.
Today is Friday.
Today is Friday all day long.
Yes.
Yes, my friends.
Today is Friday.
F for Friday.
Can you say Friday?
Great.
Now, let's put it on the board.
Right up here.
Now, let's read that sentence together.
Will you help me?
Great.
Here we go.
Today is Friday.
Let's read it one more time.
Today is Friday.
That's right.
Today is Friday.
Oh, my friends, on Fridays, we practice writing.
So make sure you have something to write with and something to write on.
We will practice writing a little later.
Now, let's keep on going.
Oh, it's time to 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?
Oh, what's the weather where you live?
You may have to go 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, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
Are you back?
Great.
What did you see?
What's the weather where you live?
Oh, oh.
Well, thank you for sharing what the weather is where you live.
Hmm, I would like a turn too.
I want to find out what the weather is here where the circle time classroom is.
Will you help me?
Oh, wonderful.
Okay, we need to head over to our imaginary window.
And we can look out the window and find out what the weather is here today.
Come on, let's go together.
Okay, my friends, we are here at our imaginary window.
Hmm, look out the window.
Oh, what do you see?
Is it a sunny day today?
Oh, it's not a sunny day today.
Oh, look again, look again.
Oh, is it a cloudy day today?
Yay.
It's a cloudy day today.
Oh, it's cloudy, friends.
And it's a little chilly outside today.
Actually, really cold today.
So now today, we need to first find a picture that represents a cloudy day.
Will you help me?
Yay.
Let's go back to our circle time board.
Come on, everyone.
Here we go.
Okay, let's find a picture that represents a cloudy day.
Oh, how about this picture?
What do you think?
Is this a cloudy day picture?
Aww.
No, not a cloudy day.
This is a sunny day picture.
Let's try again.
Oh, my friends, is this a cloudy day picture?
Aww.
No, this is a snowy day picture.
Oh, let's try again, let's try again.
Oh, my friends, is this a cloudy day picture?
Yay.
This is our cloudy day picture.
I'm going to put it on the board.
Oh, and now we can read that sentence.
Will you read it with me?
Great.
Here we go.
The weather is cloudy.
Let's read it one more time.
The weather is cloudy.
It sure is a cloudy day today.
And it's cold outside.
So let's help our friend, Bear Bear, get ready for this cloudy, cold day today.
Okay, we'll start with Bear's shoes.
I think, oh, look at what Bear has.
Should we give Bear rain boots or just green sneakers?
What do you think?
You can point or you can tell me aloud.
Oh, if you say green sneakers, okay, I agree.
We can save the rain boots for a rainy day.
Good idea.
Green sneakers, okay.
Oh, let's keep on going.
And then what about, oops.
Blue jeans or pants, okay.
We'll give Bear blue jeans or pants.
And it's a cold day, remember, friends.
Should Bear Bear wear his coat or his red shirt?
What do you think?
It's a cold, cloudy day.
You can point or you can say it aloud.
Oh, it's a cold day.
If you said his green coat, I agree.
Let's save the shirt for a warmer day and give him his coat to go out there today.
Here you are, Bear.
Oh, and Bear wants to carry some books, maybe some toys.
Hmm, let's see.
What does he need to bring with him?
It starts with a B, book.
Backpack, yes, his blue backpack or book bag.
Thank you, friends.
I think Bear is ready for this cloudy day.
And it's a little cold.
Oh, no, it's cold out.
Thank you, you're such great helpers.
Bye, Bear.
Have a great day.
And now, my friends, let's keep on going down our board.
It's time for the letter of the week.
Oh, who remembers, who remembers what the letter of the week is?
What the letter of the week is?
Who remembers, who remembers what the letter of the week is?
Do you remember?
Oh, let me give you a clue.
This letter makes the sound qu.
Oh, I'm going to hold it up.
If you remember the name, say it aloud.
Shout it out.
Letter Q.
If you said Q, you're correct.
Letter Q is our letter of the week.
This is uppercase or lowercase?
Uppercase Q and lowercase Q.
And we are going to practice writing or tracing.
So, parents, if they need help, you can let them trace it or write it today.
Okay?
But we're not going to do it now.
We'll practice our writing or tracing a little later.
Let me put it on the board.
Q.
Q for queen.
Quell.
Quilt.
Those all start with letter Q.
Let's keep on going.
Shape of the week.
Our shape of the week has four points and four sides.
Oh, it has two names.
Do you remember?
It's upside down.
What shape?
Diamond.
If you said diamond, you're correct.
Or rhombus.
That's right.
This is our shape of the week.
The diamond.
Okay, I'm going to put it on the board, my friends.
The diamond.
And now let's go over to our numbers.
And let's practice counting from one all the way to number 20.
Are you ready?
Okay.
We'll start slow.
And then we're going to do it a second time.
A little bit faster.
Slow first.
Here we go.

A little bit faster now.

16.
17.
Oh, great counting, everyone.
You did it again.
But now today is Friday, our writing day.
So we're going to practice writing letter Q, okay?
Letter Q.
If you look at letter Q, uppercase Q, if we start at the top, you go around and back to
the top.
And then you add a little tail.
I like to call it a tail.
A ducktail.
And for lowercase Q, start at the top, go down, and then up a little for another tail,
go back to the top, and curve around to the middle.
I'm going to show you.
Okay.
Take out something to write with.
Take out something to write on.
And I'm going to move some of our numbers here.
So that way we have room to write.
I'll move 18, 19, and 20.
Okay?
I'll move those over so we have a place to write.
And now let me choose a marker.
I'm going to use a marker.
I'll use my brown marker today.
Now you take out something to write with.
We're going to write uppercase Q two times and lowercase Q two times.
First, let me show you.
Watch me first.
Looking eyes.
Looking eyes, everyone.
Okay.
Watch me first.
Uppercase Q.
Start at the top.
And then I go around and back to the top.
Go down to the bottom and draw a diagonal line, which I like to call a little tail.
Doo-doo.
Just like that.
Now, let's try it together.
Start at the top and curve around and back to the top.
Go down to the bottom and make your diagonal line that way.
It's like a little tail.
Let's try it one more time.
So it's two times for you.
Here we go.
Start at the top.
Curve around and back to the top.
Now go to the bottom and draw a diagonal line, which we make the tail.
So diagonal line down.
Just like that.
Uppercase Q.
Now I want you to try lowercase Q.
Ready?
I'm going to erase the board, give myself some room.
You make some room as well.
I'm going to start lowercase Q.
Okay.
Here we go.
Now, lowercase Q, you start in the middle.
Start in the middle.
Lowercase Q.
Find a space.
You can watch me first if you'd like.
Draw a straight line down.
Then at the bottom of the line, you're going to draw a diagonal line up.
Diagonal line up.
It's like a little tail.
Now go back to the top of that line and curve around to the middle.
Lowercase Q.
Now let's try it together.
Here we go.
Start at the top.
Straight line down.
Now if you go to the bottom of that line, make that diagonal line up.
Diagonal line up.
Like a little tail.
Go back to the top of that line and curve around to the middle.
Lowercase Q.
Ooh.
Let's do one more.
I'll put it...
Okay.
Right over here.
Here we go.
Straight line down.
Go to the bottom of that line.
Diagonal line up.
Remember?
Like the little tail.
Go back to the top of that line and curve around to the middle.
Lowercase Q.
Oh, how did you do, my friends?
How did you do on your uppercase Q and your lowercase Q?
Great.
Now, remember, you have to keep on practicing.
The more you practice, the better you get.
Great work today, my friends.
Now it's time for us to sing our circle time song.
Are you ready?
Wonderful.
Let's go.
Head over to the desk.
Here we go.
And now, my friends, we're going to sing the name song today.
Are you ready?
Okay.
Remember for the name song, you have to listen for the first letter in your name.
When you hear it, you...
Clap-clap.
Get ready?
Get ready.
Here we go.
I'm going to use my bells, 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 or E or F,
