Oh, how are you feeling today?
Well, thank you for sharing how you feel today.
Today, I'm feeling excited.
I'm excited because it's a very special day.
I even have on my special jacket.
I wonder what day it is today.
Well, we have so much to do.
Let's go over to our circle time board
and we can figure out what day it is today
and what we're going to do on this special day.
Come on, let's go together.
Okay, my friends, we're over at our circle time board
and now I need to find my, my pointer.
That's right, my circle time pointer.
Now let's start with the days of the week
and we can find out what day it is today.
But I need everyone to sing the days of the week.
I need everyone to sing along nice and loud.
Let's do it together.
Get ready, 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,
and then there's Saturday.
Days of the week, days of the week,
days of the week, days of the week,
days of the week, one more time.
There's Sunday and there's Monday,
there's Tuesday and there's Wednesday,
there's Thursday and there's Friday,
and then there's Saturday.
Days of the week, days of the week,
days of the week, days of the week,
days of the week, we did it.
But now we need to find out what day it is today.
Let's go back over to our board
because we know yesterday was Wednesday.
Let's go down one.
Today is Thursday, Thursday.
Today is Thursday, today is Thursday,
today is Thursday all day long.
Yes, today is Thursday, today is Thursday,
today is Thursday all day long yes.
Yes, my friends, today is Thursday.
Can you say Thursday?
Great, and do you remember?
What do we do on Thursday?
Oh, it's a dance, dance party.
We have dance party Thursday,
but we have to finish everything on our board first,
and then we can have our dance party.
Okay, let's put this on the board right up here.
Now let's read the sentence together.
It says, today is Thursday.
That's right.
Let's read it one more time.
Today is Thursday.
Oh, it is, my friends.
It's Thursday, I'm so excited.
Now let's keep on going.
It's time for the weather.
What's the weather?
What's the weather out today?
Is it sunny?
Is it cloudy?
Is it raining out today?
My friends, 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.
Oh, are you back?
Great.
What's the weather where you live?
What did you see?
Oh, really?
Wow.
Well, thank you for sharing what your weather is.
Now it's my turn.
I wanna go look out the window
so I can see what the weather is here,
but I need your help.
Will you help me?
Wonderful.
Let's head over to our imaginary window
and we can look together.
Come on, friends, let's go.
Oh, my friends, we made it to the imaginary window.
Ooh, what do you see?
What kind of day is it today?
What's the weather?
Is it a rainy day?
Oh, no.
Is it a sunny day?
Oh, no, it doesn't look sunny.
Oh, I see lots of clouds.
Do you see those clouds?
I think it's a cloudy day today.
It is.
Now we need to find a picture
that represents a cloudy day.
Will you help me?
Great.
Let's go back and find our picture.
Okay, now that we're back over here,
let's find a picture that represents a cloudy day.
Oh, I found this picture.
Is this our cloudy day picture?
Oh, not quite.
This has clouds and it has a sun,
but this is a partly sunny day picture.
How about, how about this one?
Oh, not quite, right?
This is a thunderstorm, thunder and lightning.
It's not lightning and it's not thundering.
Hmm, let's try again.
How about this picture?
What do you think?
Is this a cloudy day picture?
Yay!
This is our cloudy day picture.
Let's put it up on the board
and now we can read it together.
Let's read the sentence.
The weather is cloudy.
Let's read it one more time.
The weather is cloudy.
It is, it's a cloudy day and it's a little warm.
Now we can help our friend Koala.
Get ready for this cloudy day.
Let's see what we have for Koala.
Oh, Koala is already ready with his sneakers.
What color are his sneakers?
Red, if you said red, you're correct.
He likes those red sneakers.
Oh, what else does he have for this cloudy, cloudy day?
And it's a little warm.
Oh, Koala, we have jeans.
What color are his jeans or pants?
Blue, if you said blue, you're correct.
Let's put them on and then my friends,
oh, Koala has a blue shirt and he has a green coat,
but it's not cold outside.
He doesn't need his coat, I don't think.
What do you think he should wear?
You can point.
Oh, how about we save the green coat for another day?
A cold day.
If you said that, I agree.
We can give him his blue shirt
and his blue shirt can match his blue pants.
And let's see, how about a cap for his head?
A cap that matches his pants and his shirt, pants and shirt.
Which one matches?
Which one is the same color as his pants and shirt?
You can point.
Oh, if you pointed to the blue one, you're correct.
This is green, it's not the same color,
so we'll save that one.
Blue is the same color, that's right.
Blue, blue, blue.
All right, Koala.
Oh, but he needs something else.
His blue backpack.
Yes, his blue backpack.
So he can put whatever he like in there,
books and toys and anything he's bringing with him.
Oh, my friends, Koala has on a lot of blue today.
Oh, and then those red sneakers.
Thank you for helping me get him ready.
Bye, Koala, have a good day.
And now, my friends, for us,
it's time to go over to the board.
It's time for our 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?
What the letter of the week is?
Do you remember?
I think you may remember.
We said that this letter makes the sound mm,
and it's the beginning sound for mouse.
And it's also the beginning sound for moose.
Remember, we made a moose.
Yeah, oh, my friends.
Letter, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
Mm, yes, if you said M, you're correct.
This is letter M.
Now, can you point to the uppercase M?
Take your pointer finger and point to the uppercase M.
Which one is uppercase?
Mm, if you pointed to this one, you're correct.
This is uppercase M.
Now, take your pointer finger
and point to the lowercase M.
Which one is lowercase?
Ooh, if you pointed to this one, you're correct.
This is the lowercase M.
Uppercase M, lowercase M.
M is our letter of the week.
Let's put it on the board.
M, yes, M for mouse.
M for mm, moose.
M for mm, milk.
Yes, and all of the other words that M starts with
that you all are out there finding.
M is our letter of the week.
Now, let's go down to our shape of the week.
Oh, this shape has four sides.
Yep, it does, it reminds me of a box.
Do you remember what the shape is?
If we start at the top and go over,
across, and down, and across, and up.
Hmm, I wonder what that makes.
A square, that's right.
The square is our shape of the week.
Have you found anything around your home
or when you went outside,
have you found anything that looks like a square?
A square, oh, I see lots of things that look like squares.
Keep on looking, keep on looking.
Okay, let's put the square on the board.
I even saw a piece of cheese that was shaped like a square.
Keep on looking for those squares, my friends.
All right, let's head over to our numbers.
Yes, our numbers.
All week, we've been counting to number, what number?
12, we've been counting all the way up to number 12.
How about we count again?
Let's start at one.
Let's count really fast first.
You think you can do it?
I know you can do it.
Let's count really fast.
Like one, two, three, four, five, six.
Think you could do it like that?
Listen, just like this.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
Let's see if we can keep that beat, my friends.
Are you ready?
Great, here we go.
Get ready, get ready.
Here we go.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine, 10, 11, 12.
Woo, let's try it again.
Remember, listen to that beat.
Just like that.
Get ready, get ready.
Here we go.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine, 10, 11, 12.
How did you do?
That was pretty fast, I know.
I wanted to try it fast today.
I wanted to try it fast.
Thank you for trying with me.
Great.
Oh, my friends, we're missing something here.
What were we counting this week?
Do you remember?
We were counting
mice.
Yes, M for mice.
Let me see if I can find those little mice.
Oh, here they are.
I found them.
Let's count the mice together.
Let's make sure we still have 12.
I'll put them on the board and you count aloud with me.
Only say the number when I put the mouse on the board.
Here we go.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 12.
We have 12 mice.
Say that sentence with me.
We have 12 mice.
Yes, we do.
And you helped me count them.
Thank you.
Oh, my friends, look around.
Look at our board.
It's filled with so many wonderful things
we're learning about.
But guess what?
We finished the entire circle time board.
And now it's time for our.
Yay!
And now it's time for our dance party.
Let's start with the color song.

We're purple, get up.
Get up.
Keep going, keep going.
We're in green, get up.
Gray, get up.
Get up, get up, get up.
Hey, hey, sit down.
All right, friends.
Now it's time for the freeze dance.
Don't forget, you have to freeze when the music stops.
Get ready, get ready.
Here we go.
Dance, dance, dance, dance.
Ooh, I'm falling.
Let's keep going.
Ooh, how'd you do?
