Now, let's read the message on the board. I wrote two sentences. Let's read them. Today, we will write. That's our first sentence. We will write today. We will practice writing letter D. Let's read our second sentence. Today, we will draw. Today, we will draw the shape of the week. Do you remember what it is? Okay, don't tell me yet. Let's wait till we get to the shape of the week. So, let's read our sentences one more time. Today, we will write. Today, we will draw. Wow, those sentences have a message for us. They let us know what we are going to do today during Circle Time. We will write and draw when we get to that part of the Circle Time lesson. So, make sure you're ready. You have your paper or your notebook and whatever you're going to write with. If you need to pause the video, you can do that too. Now, let's start with the days of the week. Are you ready? 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 this Saturday. Days of the week. Days of the week. Days of the week. Days of the week. Days of the week. We did it! Now let's find out what day it is today. Hmm what day do we write and draw on? Let's go over to our board. Yesterday was Thursday. Dance party Thursday. I had so much fun yesterday. Did you have fun? Great. Now let's go down one. Oh today is Friday. F for Friday. Today is 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! Today is Friday. F for Friday. Can you say Friday? Can you say today is Friday? Great. Let's put Friday on the board. Now we can read it. Let's read this sentence. Today is Friday. Let's read it one more time together. Today is Friday. That's right and on Fridays we write and draw or we do one or the other. Today we're going to do both. Alright let's go down to our letter of the week. Oh what's the letter of the week? I already said it. Do you remember what I said? The letter of the week. We have uppercase D, lowercase d. Let's practice our uppercase D and lowercase d. We will practice writing it. Now remember every letter makes a sound and D says d. Can you make that sound? D for dinosaur. D for duck. D for donkey. D for donuts. Letter D. Now let's practice writing the letter D but before we write it today let's go over the lines that letter D has. Letter D uppercase has a straight line and a curved line. Lowercase D has a straight line and a curved line but they look different so we will have to write them a little different. Are you ready to practice? Great. Meet me over at the drawing and writing board. I will use my blue marker to practice writing letter D. Now watch me first. I'm going to start with uppercase D first. Watch first then you're going to try. Here we go. Start at the top, line down, go back to the top and curve to the bottom. That's uppercase D. Now you give it a try. We'll do it together. Are you ready? Oh and remember if you don't have anything to write with it's okay. You can practice in the air. Alright let's go. Start at the top everyone and go down, go back to the top and curve to the bottom. Let's try it again. Start at the top, go down, go back to the top, curve to the bottom. Let's keep going. Try it again. Start at the top, go down, go back to the top and curve to the bottom. Let's try again. Start at the top, go down, go back to the and curve to the bottom. Ooh, one more time. Start at the top, go down, go back to the top, and curve to the bottom. Uppercase D. You just practiced uppercase D. Now let's do lowercase d. Okay, get ready for lowercase d. I'll still use my blue marker. Watch first, I'll do one first, and then we'll do it together. Here we go. Start at the top, go down, go to the middle, and curve to the bottom. Lowercase d. Now you give it a try. Let's do it together. Start at the top, go down, go to the middle, curve to the bottom. Ooh, let's do it again.
