(singer vocalizing) (upbeat instrumental music) - Hello everyone, and welcome to "Teaching in Room 9," the region's - So, come on in, take a seat, and let's get started.
(upbeat instrumental music) - Good job, now I want you to touch your throat right here, and see how they feel.
- Hello boys and girls welcome to "Teaching in Room 9."
- Falcons are built for speed so she doesn't have very wide wing.
- And the numbers get bigger as we go across to the right.
- I just want you to start with saying, "Hello."
Remember you got this.
(singer vocalizing) (upbeat instrumental music) - All righty, are you ready to learn?
Let's go.
(upbeat instrumental music) Hello, everyone and welcome back to "Teaching in Room 9," the region's largest classroom.
I am Dr.
Sanders, and we are an amazing classroom where you can go anywhere and be anything that you choose.
And while we are on our learning adventures, please remember, it doesn't matter if you're two or 102, we will have some fun, F-U-N, fun!
We will have some fun while learning.
Before we get started, we have to give some shout-outs to some of my favorite friends.
My first name is Myla Jo.
Hi Myla Jo.
Let's spell Myla Jo, Capital M-Y-L-A, Capital J-O.
Capital M-Y-L-A, capital J-O.
Hi, Myla Jo.
My next friend is Blake.
Hello, Blake.
Let's spell Blake.
Capital B-L-A-K-E.
B-L-A-K-E, Hi Blake.
And I have one more friend for today, and that's Beau, hi, Beau.
Let's spell Beau.
Capital B-E-A-U.
Capital B-E-A-U.
And Beau, Beau, what sound does Beau start with?
Buh?
Yes, you are correct.
And what letter makes that sound again?
B, yes.
All righty, are you ready to get onto our learning adventure?
Yes.
So, let's go.
(children cheering) (crowd applauding) - Hi Glen, are you okay?
You look sad.
(sad trumpet music) Oh, you lost a game of tic-tac-toe.
(sad trumpet music) You lost three games in a row.
Oh, Glen, I'm so sorry.
Tic-tac toe can be kind of tricky.
Hey, would you like me to show you some strategies that help me feel calm and better?
(upbeat horn beeping) Okay, how about you?
Would you like to learn some strategies too?
(uplifting instrumental music) Okay, let's try.
The first strategy I have is The Breathe Strategy.
You breathe in and out five times.
You can use your fingers to help keep track.
Should we try it?
Okay, ready?
In.
(inhales sharply) Out.
(breath swooshing) That's one.
In.
(inhales sharply) Out.
(breath swooshing) That's two.
In.
(inhales sharply) Out.
(breath swooshing) That's three.
In.
(inhales sharply) Out.
(breath swooshing) Four.
In.
(inhales sharply) And out.
(breath swooshing) Five.
The second strategy I have is called The Squeeze Strategy.
You can put your fingers together like this and then squeeze them together, really tout, and count to five.
Should we try it?
Here we go.
One, two, three, four, five.
And rest.
How about again?
One, two, three, four, five.
And rest.
One more time.
One, two, three, four, and five.
Great job.
So, Glenn, how are you feeling now?
Do you feel better?
(upbeat horn beeping) That's great.
How about you?
Do these strategies help you feel calm?
(uplifting instrumental music) Great.
So, now you know two strategies, The Breathe Strategy and The Squeeze Strategy.
Put them together, they help you feel better, and you're ready to go to school.
(playful instrumental music) - Hi everyone, it's Mrs.
Forth.
Back with another book for us to share together today.
This one's called "Goodnight Little Engineer" by Dr.
Intergalactic.
In this book, we're gonna learn a little bit about what an engineer is and what they do.
And as we read, we're gonna be collecting information.
When we collect information, we're gonna fill out this chart.
This chart is gonna help us keep track of all the things that we're learning.
We're going to think about the topic, and tell two facts about that topic.
So, topic, fact, fact.
So, when I'm reading, we're gonna stop to be able to fill out our chart.
(paper shuffling) "Good Night, Little Engineer."
(page flipping) "Good night, little engineer, sleep tight, little engineer.
There are all kinds of things you can do.
From building bridges and windmills to machines and cars too.
(page flipping) Good night little engineer, sleep tight little engineer.
Engineers come from everywhere in all shapes and sizes.
They can build anything and they help the sciences."
We already have a clue about engineers.
They build things, don't they?
Let's read on to see what types of engineers they are.
(book thudding) (page flipping) "Civil engineers discover the best way to build a city."
So, a civil engineer is one type of engineer.
Let's pay close attention and learn some facts about civil engineers.
"They plan all the streets and power lines, all the details and nitty gritty.
They come up with cool ways to make things prettier too, like designing parks, and benches that give us beautiful views."
We learned a little bit about civil engineers.
Let's use that chart and see if we can collect information that we're learning.
Okay, so our topic is civil engineers.
I have a sticky note just for that civil engineer.
What did we learn about civil engineers?
Can you come up with some facts about civil engineers?
What do they do?
Yeah, they plan our streets, don't they?
They plan which direction our streets to go, and how to get from one place to another using streets.
What else do they do?
Yeah, they designed parks too.
Those parks we like to go to, to hang out, to walk, to fly kites.
Those parks were designed by civil engineers.
So, our topic was civil engineer, and two facts about that topic are plan streets, design parks.
You ready to read on?
Let's see if we can find out more information about another engineer.
(page flipping) "Goodnight little engineer.
Sleep tight little engineer.
There's another kind of engineer that deals with electricity.
They help control power in our great city."
I wonder what type of engineer deals with electricity?
That feels exciting.
(page flipping) "Electrical engineers make computers so factories can run.
And that's great because when you're making hundreds of cupcakes, who wants to stop the fun?
Electrical engineers make devices run, like your computers, an AC."
AC means air conditioner "So, your fan can kick on when it's a 100 degrees."
Very grateful for electrical engineers.
I don't like to be too hot.
Hmm.
Electrical engineers.
That's a new topic.
Let's jump back to our chart and see if we can tell about that topic by thinking of facts that we learned about electrical engineers.
Electrical engineers, so, let's take off civil engineer, and use electrical engineer.
Hmm.
These facts don't match anymore, do they?
Let's come up with facts that match electrical engineer.
What did we learn about electrical engineers?
They make computers.
The computers that we use, to play games, to do learning activities, and maybe even work.
Electrical engineers make computers.
What's another fact about electrical engineers that we learned?
Yeah, they control the power in our city.
They're in charge of making sure that our cities have all of the power.
So, you can turn your light on when you're home, so you can stop at a stoplight when you're driving.
That's all thanks to electrical engineers.
So, let's say our topic, electrical engineer, and two facts about our topic.
They make computers and they control power in our cities.
Let's read on (chart shuffling) (page flipping) "Good night little engineer.
Sleep tight little engineer.
If you want to be a different kind of engineer, that's okay too.
There's more where that came from.
Let me tell you.
(page flipping) Mechanical engineers build machines, like power plants and windmills, so we can save energy and still have a thrill.
What kind of engineer would you like to be?
Dream about it tonight and tomorrow tell me."
We just learned about another type of engineer.
Do you remember its name?
Yeah, mechanical engineers.
Let's get out our chart.
Mechanical engineers.
(chart shuffling) Taking off electrical engineer.
And I'm gonna add mechanical engineer.
Now, that my topic has changed, we need to change out our facts because they don't match anymore.
What does a mechanical engineer do?
What do you remember from the book?
What did the author teach us?
They build machines.
That's right.
You guys are great listeners.
And they make ways to save energy.
Like windmills.
A windmill brings power to a city.
I wonder if a mechanical engineer, an electrical engineer work together.
One can help build a windmill and the other one can help get that energy to give power to our city.
Mechanical engineers build machines and make ways to save energy.
(chart shuffling) So, let's reread this part again, and I want you to think about the answer as I read the author's words.
"What kind of engineer would you like to be?"
Think about what we learned about the different types of engineers.
Is there one that stood out to you that you would like to be?
"Dream about it tonight and tomorrow and tell me.
(page flipping) Goodnight little engineer.
Sleep tight little engineer.
There are so many people who could use your creations.
They'd use them every day for work and to get to their destinations.
(page flipping) Nicola Tesla discovered a new kind of electricity called A.C., which we now use every day.
Isn't that nifty?
Stephanie Kwolek is an engineer who worked with chemicals.
She created new materials that seemed like miracles.
(page flipping) Benjamin Wright designed roads and rivers 200 years ago.
Even way back then people needed engineers to tell them where to go.
They all were engineers in their own unique way.
They had their own specialties and used them to save the day.
(page flipping) Good night little engineer.
Sleep tight little engineer.
Tomorrow's a new day and there's so much you could do.
What will you invent and how will people know about you?
Good night little engineer.
Sleep tight little engineer for tomorrow is a bright new day."
After learning about engineers, does it make you want to be an engineer when you grow up?
Me too.
That sounds like such a fun job.
So, as we read, remember we used a special chart, and our chart helped us keep track of all of the information, like the topics we were reading about and facts about each topic.
When you're reading books, especially books that teach you information, it's always a great idea to think about ways to collect the information.
And it can be as simple as making a chart like this.
A chart that you can keep track of the topic you're learning about and some information about that topic, facts.
Thank you so much for joining me as we read another great book together, all about engineers.
I'll see you next time.
Bye everybody.
(uplifting instrumental music) (object clicking) (liquid bubbling) (uplifting instrumental music) - Hi there, Room 9.
It's me, Mrs.
Williams, the Woodland creature teacher.
(playful instrumental music) Hope you're having a great day.
When I'm not here teaching and learning with you.
I'm teaching and learning with my first graders.
So, hi to all my Woodland creatures.
Today we're gonna be focusing on your powers of observation.
So, I hope you've got your thinking ready.
You might be saying, "Mrs.
Williams, you've already got me thinking.
I don't know what observation is."
Observation is when you use your five senses to gather information about an item, or a person, or an area?
So, today I'm gonna put your powers of observation to the test.
Now, we use our five senses to observe, and I'm gonna give you some hints to see if you can guess which sense you're gonna use to make these observations.
Now, first up, this sense will help you to (sniffs) stop and smell the flowers.
Oh, those are so nice.
Reminds me of spring.
It could also (sniffs) let you know when a skunk is in town.
Pee-ew.
That's gross.
Now, using the information that I've given you, what sense do you think will help you to observe these?
Your right Room 9.
It's your sense of?
(Mrs.
Williams gasps) (bell dinging) Smell.
And this is Beth.
Thanks Beth for helping us out.
(swooshing) She'll be popping in to help us to observe those different senses.
Now, this next one will help you to understand when something is hard, (fingers knocking) or heavy, even smooth.
(stone thudding) Maybe if something is soft and squishy, like mud or clay, why would that be a helpful observation to make?
Yeah, if you're camping or hiking with some friends and family, it's gonna be important to stay on that hard packed trail.
Don't slip and fall in the mud.
What sense helps you to observe those things?
You're right again, it's gonna be your sense of?
Touch.
(bell dinging) Thanks for lending us a hand, Beth.
All right, this next one's gonna challenge you.
Something that you can hear during the day or during the night.
Something that you'll hear outside.
This is going to represent rain.
(rainstick rattling) Oh, I love that sound.
Makes me think about the flowers getting some water outside.
(Mrs.
Williams gasps) (thunder booming) Do you hear what I hear?
It goes with rain, sometimes.
It's thunder.
(bird chirping) Oh, the storm must have cleared because now I hear a little Woodland creature.
You're right, it's a bird chirping.
What sense would help you to observe these things?
It's going to be?
Your sense of hearing.
(bell dinging) Thanks Beth, for your help.
(swooshing) This next one is going to be something that goes with you everywhere you go.
It helps you during the day and helps you during the night.
It helps you to stay safe by avoiding obstacles, so that you don't trip and fall.
It also helps you to see those smiles on your friends and family's faces.
What sense and part of your body helps you with those?
You are so clever, it's going to be your?
Sense of sight.
(bell dinging) And I really appreciate your help, Beth.
Now, this last one will help you out when you are eating for sure.
What's the name of this fruit?
Yeah, it's an apple.
Now, when you eat an apple, what do you think of?
What do you notice?
(crunching) You're right, it's crunchy and it's also sweet.
Maybe juicy.
Thumbs up and a wiggle, if you love apples.
It's okay if it's a thumbs down for you.
Think about what sense helps you to enjoy those apples.
This next one makes my face pucker.
It's a lemon.
Yeah.
What is a lemon like?
It's also juicy.
That's something it has in common with the apple, but it's sour.
What sense helps you to recognize those sweet and sour fruits?
Hmm, you're right.
It's your?
(bell dinging) Sense of taste.
Thanks for your help, Beth.
(swooshing) All right, now we've learned about, all of these senses.
We've used our powers of observation, and talked about which parts of our body help us to notice them.
Which is your favorite?
Remember that when you're making observations, some of these senses will be used by themselves, or you can combine them to learn more.
When it's raining, I see that it's raining.
I can feel that it's wet.
I can hear the rain and the thunder.
(uplifting instrumental music) My challenge to you is to go outside this week, use your powers of observation and share with a friend what you've learned.
(uplifting instrumental music) That's all I've got for you today, and I'll be seeing you again soon, bye.
(uplifting instrumental music fades out) ♪ Time for music with Bhoo (playful flute music) - Mrs.
Bhooshan here and I'm the music teacher.
Welcome to music in Room 9.
Today we're gonna do some movement.
So, can you pull out your pretend bubbles, and we're gonna blow a giant bubble.
Ready?
Here we go.
(inhales deeply) (breath swooshing) (inhales deeply) (breath swooshing) (inhales deeply) (breath swooshing) Awesome, now put that away and step into your giant bubble.
Okay, today we're gonna roll your bubble to some music.
But do you know what happens when a bubble touches another bubble?
(Mrs.
Bhooshan imitates bubbling popping) Yeah, it pops.
So, your job today is to roll your bubble, but don't bump into anything or anyone and pop your bubble.
Ready?
(xylophone dinging) Here we go.
♪ Roll your bubble ♪ Roll your bubble ♪ Roll, don't let it pop ♪ Roll your bubble ♪ Roll your bubble ♪ Roll till I say stop Did you do it and not run into anything?
Great job.
Let's try it, but this time I'm gonna change the speed of the music.
So, I want you to listen and go roll your bubble to the speed of the music.
Ready.
It may go fast and it may go slow.
(xylophone dinging) ♪ Roll your bubble ♪ Roll your bubble ♪ Roll, don't let it pop ♪ Roll your bubble ♪ Roll your bubble ♪ Roll till I say stop Good job, let's try one more time.
♪ Roll your bubble ♪ Roll your bubble ♪ Roll, don't let it pop Awesome.
Can you take your finger and pop your bubble?
(Mrs Bhooshan imitates bubble popping) Good.
So, that was music today, but I would like you at home to maybe try rolling a bubble to some music that you have at home, and try and listen and go to the same speed.
And that was.
♪ Music with Bhoo (upbeat instrumental music) (Señor Johnson speaking in Spanish).
Hello boys and girls.
I'm Señor Johnson, and welcome to "Teaching in Room 9," the region's largest classroom.
Today I'm gonna talk about animals that live in Spanish-speaking countries.
I'll start with a song.
(Señor Johnson singing in Spanish) These are animals who live in Spanish-speaking countries.
The first animal I'd like to talk about is the jaguar.
(bell dinging) We call it the jaguar.
We've seen jaguars with their spots and they're pretty ferocious.
(roars) They live in the rainforest of Mexico.
Our next animal is the capybara.
The capybara, it is the world's largest rodent.
Can you imagine a large hamster, but like two or three times bigger?
That's a capybara.
It lives in wetland.
So, wherever it's wet, and there's a lot of water, they love the water.
But if you move up to the mountains of Peru and Ecuador, you will find the llama.
(bell dinging) It walks around with its long neck and it chews like a cow.
And I've seen llamas and they're fun to watch.
Our next animal, it is the (speaking in Spanish).
(speaking in Spanish) It is also a macaw parrot.
We've seen them, we just didn't know the name of them.
They can be found in the rainforest, also in South America.
Our last animal, it is the beautiful (speaking in Spanish).
That's the word in Spanish for butterfly.
So, think about every time you see a butterfly, say, hello, or no, (speaking in Spanish) If you see a jaguar, say, (speaking in Spanish) If you see a capybara, ah, name doesn't change.
(Señor Johnson speaking in Spanish) And if you see a llama, you can even stick your neck out and walk around and chew like the llama and say, (Señor Johnson speaking in Spanish) And when you want to fly around and look pretty, say you are a (speaking in Spanish), and say, (speaking in Spanish).
(upbeat instrumental music) Thank you guys for learning about these animals with me that live in Spanish-speaking countries, adios!
Ram-pum-pum-pum, learning Spanish is fun.
(upbeat instrumental music) - Great day everybody.
This is Candice with KHAOS.
And I wanna tell you about my friends, the KHAOS Kids.
There are kids that have big feelings just like you, but they have learned a breathing exercise to help them whenever they have uncomfortable feelings.
And so I want you to do it with me.
You ready?
Close your eyes, breathe in.
(Candice inhales deeply) Hold it, and let it out.
(breath swooshing) And so I want you to do that.
Make sure you breathe in.
(Candice inhales deeply) And let it out.
(breath swooshing) Whenever you have uncomfortable feelings, I want you to use that skill.
You got this air hugs and cyber kisses.
(playful instrumental music) - Welcome back to our classroom.
Did you have a fun time today?
(playful instrumental music) Excellent, tell me what was your favorite adventure?
(playful instrumental music) Oh, yes.
Yes.
That was a wonderful adventure.
Wonderful, amazing.
Woo, you using big words.
Excellent, all right, now it's time for my little lesson.
Are you ready?
All right.
First, I want you to tell me the colors of my circles.
Green and?
Red.
That is right.
Green and red.
What do you think we're going to do?
Yes, we are gonna play red light, green light.
What does red mean?
Stop.
Red means stop.
So, if red means stop, what does green mean?
Go.
All right.
So, we're ready to play this game.
Now, if you see me hold up the red, are you going to move?
No.
If you see me hold up the green, are you going to move?
Yes.
And then I put up the, that means what?
Stop.
All right, let's go.
You ready?
(playful instrumental music) Yes.
I see people moving.
Keep moving.
You dancing.
You doing that?
Okay?
Yeah, oh, yes, stop.
Good job.
Oh, I saw you move a little bit.
I saw you move a little bit.
All right, let's try again.
(playful instrumental music) All right.
Oh, I see those dance, show me your best dance move.
(playful instrumental music) Okay, oh, keep dancing.
(playful instrumental music) (disk thudding) Oh, you did a better job this time.
But boys and girls it is time.
It is time for us to get out of Room 9.
