Wonderful. Okay, let's head over to our circle time board. Will you come with me? Great, let's go together. Here we go. Oh, we are here at our circle time board. Now first, I need to find my pointer. Oh, my circle time pointer. This week I'm using my orange pointer. Oh my friends, we have to review our entire circle time board. I would love to find out what day it is today. Will you help me sing the days of the week? Oh, here are the days. Okay my friends, now remember, when you sing days of the week, you can clap your hands, you can snap your fingers, or you can just sing, whatever you choose. ♪ This Sunday and this Monday ♪ ♪ This Tuesday and this Wednesday ♪ ♪ This Thursday and this Friday and then this Saturday ♪ ♪ Days of the week, days of the week ♪ ♪ Days of the week, days of the week, days of the week. ♪ One more time. ♪ This Sunday and this Monday ♪ It's Tuesday and it's Wednesday. It's Thursday and it's Friday. And then it's Saturday. Days of the week. We did it. Oh my friends, but now we need to find out what day it is today. Let's go over to our board. Now my friends, yesterday was Sunday. Can you say Sunday? Sunday. Now we need to go down one to the next day. Oh, today is Monday. Today is Monday. Today is Monday all day long. Yes, today is Monday. Today is Monday. Today is Monday all day long. Yes. Yes, my friends. Today is Monday. Can you say Monday? Thank you. Now let's put Monday on the board. Here we go. Right here. Oh, now there's a sentence here. Will you help me read it? Wonderful. Let's read it together. Today is Monday. Let's read it one more time together. Today is Monday. Oh, that's right. Today is Monday, friends. Now let's 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, I wonder 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. Hello. Are you back? Great. What's the weather where you live? Oh, oh. Well, thank you for sharing. Well, I would like to find out what the weather is here, where the Circle Time classroom is. Will you help me? Okay, I have an idea. We need to look out our imaginary window so we can find out what the weather is here, where the circle time classroom is. Will you come with me? Great, let's go over to the window together. Come on. Oh, here we are, friends. This is our imaginary window. Now, look out the window. What do you see? What's the weather? What do you think? Is it snowing out today? Ah, it's not snowing. Let's look again. Ooh, is it raining out today? Ah, it's not raining. Look again, look again. Ooh, it looks like it's a partly sunny day. The sun looks like it's trying to come out and shine bright. Oh, it's a partly sunny day. Can you say partly sunny? Great, now we need to find a picture that represents a partly sunny day. Will you help me? Great, let's go back to our circle time board and find a picture. Here we go. Okay, my friends, we need to find a partly sunny day picture. Hmm, let me see if I have something that maybe, how about this picture? Is this a partly sunny day picture? Ah, no, it's a sunny day picture. There's just a sun in this picture. For a partly sunny day picture, we need some clouds and a sun. Let's try again. Oh, how about this picture? Is this a partly sunny day picture? Ah, no. Oh, my friends, we still need to look for that picture with a sun and some clouds. Let's try again, let's try again. Are you ready? Okay, ooh, how about this picture? Is this a partly sunny day picture? Yay, it is. Look at this picture. It has clouds and a sun. The sun is peeking out of those clouds, it's shining bright. It's a partly sunny day picture. And on this partly sunny day, friends, it's also really chilly outside. It's cold, it's cold. So let's put up our picture right here. And now we created a sentence. Look at that. Will you read it with me? Great, let's read it together. The weather is partly sunny. Let's read it again. The weather is partly sunny and it's chilly outside, a little cold. Oh, my friends, why don't we help our friend? Oh, where's our circle time friend? Oh, that's right, my friends, today is Monday. On Mondays, we pick a new circle time friend. Let's see who's coming today. Oh, my friends, drum roll. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Keep doing the drum roll at home. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Bear is here for the week. Hello, Bear Bear. We will be helping Bear Bear get ready for the weather. And today is a partly sunny day and chilly out. Okay, let's put Bear on the board. I'm going to get a piece of tape so we can make sure our Bear Bear stays up on the board. Okay, let's put Bear right here. Oh, perfect. Oh, turn you around, Bear. Wonderful, are you ready, Bear? Oh, I think Bear is ready. Okay, let's start with Bear's shoes. Hmm, what shoes will Bear wear today on this partly sunny and chilly day? Do you think Bear should wear rain boots, yellow rain boots, or blue sneakers? What do you think? You can point or you can say it aloud. What do you think? Ooh, if you chose the blue sneakers, I agree. Why don't we save the rain boots for a rainy day and we'll put on the blue sneakers. Here you are, Bear, blue sneakers it is. Now, how about some pants? Hmm, what color are Bear's pants? What color? Blue, just like the sneakers. Blue pants with a belt. Okay, we'll put that on. Here you are, Bear. Oh, and then since it's chilly outside, Bear can wear his hooded sweatshirt. What color is it? What color is Bear's hooded sweatshirt? Blue, ooh, lots of blue today. Blue sneakers, blue pants, a blue hooded sweatshirt. Here you are, Bear. Oh, perfect, I think he's ready. Oh, what can he carry his toys and books in? Just in case he wants to bring that, what do you think he can carry? Oh, it starts with the letter B, b, b, or book bag. And what color is Bear's backpack? Look at the backpack, blue. Oh my goodness, lots of blue today. Look, blue sneakers, blue pants, blue hooded sweatshirt, and blue backpack. I think Bear, b, Bear is ready for the day. Bye, Bear. Oh, Bear is ready. Okay, my friends, let's keep on going. Do, do, do, do, do. Oh, it's time for our letter of the week. Oh, what's our letter of the week? Now, the last time we were here at Circle, we were looking at a special letter. Hmm, I wonder what letter it was. Whoa, was it letter P? I think that's the last letter we did. Oh, we need to find out what comes next. I don't know, I have an idea. My friends, why don't we sing the alphabet together? The ABCs, will you sing with me? Great, okay, let's sing the ABCs together, and then we can find out what letter comes next. After letter P, P, what comes next? Because that's the letter that we are going to practice all week long. Here we go. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, keep going, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z. Now I know my ABCs. Next time, won't you sing with me? Oh, I hope you will sing with me next time. Oh, my friends, did you hear it? We said P, and after P was Q, letter Q. Can you say Q? Q is our letter of the week, Q. This is uppercase Q and lowercase Q. One more time, can you say Q? Q, every letter makes a sound, and Q says, oh, you almost don't hear it. Look at my lips and listen. Try to make the sound as well. Queen, quilt, quail. A quail is a kind of bird, quail. Q says qu, can you make that sound? Qu, one more time, qu, great. Let's put it on the board. All right, letter Q. Oh, and it's a very special letter. Look at that, the uppercase and lowercase look a little different, but we have time all week to learn about letter Q, and we will, and we'll even practice writing or tracing it at the end of the week. Okay, let's keep on going, friends. It's time for our shape of the week. Oh, this is a very special shape. Let me show it to you. I don't even wanna waste any time. Ta-da! What shape is that? Oh, my friends, it's a diamond, a diamond, that's right. Diamond, can you say diamond? Now, the special thing about the diamond is that it has two names. We call it a diamond, but it's also called a rhombus. Can you say rhombus? Good, we're going to call it diamond here at circle time. Diamond, this is our shape of the week. It has four points. Let's see if we can find those points on the diamond. Start at the top, look up here. One, two, three, four. Four points. Oh, it has four sides, look at this. Let's start at the top, count with me. One, two, three, four. Four sides, the diamond. Can you say diamond? Great, diamond is our shape of the week. I'll put it right down there. Okay, now, my friends, it's time for us to move. Wow, look at this. Look at all of these numbers. It's time for us to count all of these numbers. Will you help me? Wonderful, we're going to start at number one, and we're going to count all the way to number 20. You can do it, let's count slow. We'll take our time, the first time. Get ready, get ready, here we go. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. Did you count? Great, now let's speed it up just a little bit. One more time, but we're going to go faster. Get ready, get ready, here we go. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. We did it, good job, everyone. Clap for yourselves. If you even tried counting these numbers, I'm proud of all of you. I'm proud of you for trying. Thank you, and thank you for helping me count. My friends, we have completed our entire circle time board, and now it's time for us to sing a song. Will you sing with me? Let's go, come on. Okay, my friends, we are going to sing the name song. You have to listen for the first letter in your name, and when you hear it, you clap, clap. Are you ready? Let's give it a try. Some of you know this song, and if it's your first time, just listen along and follow me. Get ready, get ready, here we go. Remember, 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. If your name starts with G, clap your hands. If your name starts with H, clap your hands. If your name starts with I, clap your hands. If your name starts with J, or K, or L, or M. If your name starts with N, clap your hands.
