I accidentally pointed to Monday when I meant Sunday.
Sunday, then Monday.
But my friends, what day is it today?
Yesterday was Wednesday.
Oh, crap, Wednesday, we made parrots.
I hope you enjoyed making parrots.

We'll put it up here.
Oh, today is Thursday.
My friends, on Thursdays, what do we do?
We dance, dance, dance, dance.
It's dance party Thursday today.
We're going to dance, but not until the end of circle time.
So let's finish everything on our circle time board,
and then we can dance, okay?
Now let's read this sentence together.
Help me read.
Today is Thursday.
It is, let's read it again.

Now let's keep on going.
Oh, we need 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?
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.

Now it's my turn.
I wanna find out what the weather is here,
where the Circle Time Classroom is,
but I need your help.
Will you help me?
Great.
Let's go look out our imaginary window,
and we can find out what the weather is today,
right here, where the Circle Time Classroom is.
Come on, let's go together.
Okay, my friends, we are here at our imaginary window.
Oh, look out the window.

Now we need to find a picture that represents a rainy day.
Will you help me?

Let's go find that picture.
A rainy day picture?
Hmm, let's see what we have here, my friends.
Oh, I have this picture.
Is this a rainy day picture?

It's a cloudy day.
Okay, let's keep on going.
Oh, my friends, is this a rainy day picture?
Ooh, yes, it is.
This is a rainy day picture.
Let's put it up here on the board.
Now let's read the sentence together.
It says, the weather is rainy.
Let's read it again together.
The weather is rainy.
It's a rainy day.
And now we need to help Koala get ready for the rainy day.
Let's see what Koala has.
Since it's a rainy day,
do you think Koala should wear sneakers or rain boots?
What do you think?
You can tell me or you can point.
Ooh, if you pointed to the rain boots, I agree.
Let's save the sneakers for another day.
Okay, rain boots it is.
There we go.
And now, my friends, Koala needs to put on,
what color, what color jeans?
Blue, it's blue jeans.
Great.
And do you think Koala should put on a raincoat
or just a red T-shirt?
What do you think?
The green raincoat or red T-shirt for this rainy day?
You can point or you can tell me aloud.
Ooh, if you said raincoat, I agree.
Let's put on the raincoat for this rainy day.
Save the T-shirt for another day.
Here you are, Koala.
And the raincoat has a nice hood to stay dry.
But there's one more thing he can hold in the rain.
Hmm, what's that called?
Umbrella, umbrella.
That's right, an umbrella.
Okay, I'm going to put the umbrella right here.
Koala, you can hold your umbrella.
Oh, I think Koala is ready for the rainy day.
He's ready.
Thank you for helping.
Okay, Koala, have a good day and stay dry.

We practice making this shape with our hands.
We held our hands up, let's try it again.
Hands up, face each other, curl those fingers,
put them together and touch thumbs for a heart.
Heart is our shape of the week.
If you said heart, you're correct.
