Hello everyone and welcome to Teachin in Room 9.

So come on in, take a seat and let's get started.

Good job.

Now, go ahead and touch your throat right here and see how they feel.

Hello boys and girls, welcome to Teachin in Room 9.

Falcons are built for speed, so she doesn't have very wide wings.

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.

All righty, are you ready to learn?

Let's go!

Hello everyone and welcome back to Teaching in Room 9, the region's largest classroom.

I am Dr.

Sanders and we are in this amazing classroom where you can go anywhere and be anything that you choose.

But before we go on our adventure, what do we always say?

Correct.

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.

As we get ready to go on our adventure, I have a few of my friends that I would love to spell their names and give them some shout outs.

My first friend is Hendrix.

Hi, Hendrix.

Let's spell Hendrix.

Capital H-E-N-D-R-I-X.

H-E-N-D-R-I-X.

My next name is Samad.

Hello, Samad.

How are you doing today?

All right, let's spell Samad.

Capital S-A-M-A-D.

S-A-M-A-D.

And my next name is Samir.

Hi, Samir.

How are you doing today, Mr.

Samir?

Excellent.

Let's spell Samir, capital S-A-M-I-R, S-A-M-I-R, Samir, Samad.

Man, they sound like they could be brothers.

Are you ready?

Yes, I am.

So let's go.

(upbeat music) - Look, there's a bird.

There's a bird above you.

Do you see it?

It's so beautiful.

It's above you.

Do you not know positional words?

Glenn, positional words are really important.

They help describe where things are.

They help you describe to other people where things are.

Maybe we should learn some positional words.

What do you think?

Would you like to learn some too?

Let's see if we can ask our bird friend to help us.

Oh, bird, can you come down?

Oh, there it is.

Hi, bird.

Let's see if the bird can go on Glenn right on his head.

Oh, look.

It's on Glenn.

That's great.

How about bird, can you go in front of Glenn?

Okay, it's in front of Glenn right in front of his face.

How about behind Glenn?

Oh, see, it's going behind him right where his back is.

How about between us between Glenn and me?

Look there, right in the middle.

That's great.

And how about above above our heads?

Yes, above.

That's wonderful.

Thank you, Bird.

Look at that.

We learned a bunch of positional words.

On, in front of, behind, between, and above.

Let's see.

I'm going to use my finger and you tell me if you can tell me what the positional word is.

Are you ready?

That's right, on.

Okay, how about this one?

That's right, in front of.

Behind, that's right, my fingers behind, Glen.

Between.

And above, that's right.

You learned the positional words and you're ready for school.

(upbeat music) - Hi everybody, it's Mrs.

Forth, ready for another Read Aloud.

Today's book is called But What Can You Do?

This story was written by Akria Parr and Ava Johnson.

In this story, we're going to meet a character who has lots of feelings.

In the stories that we read, sometimes the characters have feelings at the beginning, that change in the middle and the end of the story.

So today, as we're reading, we're going to pay close attention to how this character is feeling.

And we're going to name them with feeling words.

Can you think of some feeling words?

Maybe look at my face and say a word to describe how you think I might be feeling.

Are you ready?

Okay.

Yeah, I look surprised, don't I?

Surprise is a feeling word.

Let's try another one.

Oh, Mrs.

Forth looks very sad.

Sad is a feeling word.

Let's do one more.

Ready?

I look tired, don't I?

Tired is another type of feeling word.

So I want you to keep feeling words in mind.

And we're gonna stop and describe how the character is feeling as we read this great book by Akria Parr and Ava Johnson.

But what can you do?

At school, there is always someone who is great at something.

Tyler and Phillip can kick the soccer ball really far and score a goal.

Meera and Olivia are really good at the monkey bars.

Can you see them swinging on the monkey bars?

And here are Tyler and Phillip with the soccer ball.

Then there's Adrian and Ania.

They are experts at gymnastics.

Here they are.

Jumping and flying, flipping and bouncing, but especially at doing cartwheels.

Do you know what a cartwheel is?

A cartwheel is a type of flip where you use your hands and you make your legs go over your hands and then land them back on the ground.

A cartwheel.

I'm not so good at doing cartwheels.

I asked them to show me how to do one.

I watched them.

I focused.

And then I tried it for myself.

How's our character feeling right now?

Oh, maybe a little brave.

I love that feeling word.

She's gonna try something new and she's maybe feeling brave or scared, maybe even anxious.

Those are all perfect words to describe our character.

Step one.

You can almost imagine that her friends are saying, "Put your hands up."

Step two.

Lunge forward.

Step three.

Put your hands on the ground.

Step four.

Kick your feet up.

And step five.

Land.

And that's how you do a cartwheel.

Here comes our character.

Feet on the ground.

Hands up.

Hands down.

Feet up.

Flip over.

Did it look the same?

Not quite.

Learning this new skill feels very tricky for our character.

When something's tricky, how might you feel?

Think about the last time something was hard for you.

How were you feeling?

How could we describe this character?

Sad?

Maybe, yeah.

Or frustrated?

Overwhelmed?

Well, that's a big word.

Those are all great words to describe how it feels when you're trying something new and you don't feel very good at it.

Fall down.

Didn't work out for her, did it?

Learning cartwheels are hard.

I wonder if she'll give up.

When I try to do a cartwheel, I just can't put my leg back.

I can't put my leg up.

And I can't put my legs over.

Every time I try to do a cartwheel, I just can't get it right.

And it makes me feel super sad and really angry.

Look at her face.

Can you tell how she's a little sad and angry?

Have you felt that way before?

I hope her feelings change.

Let's read on and see.

My mom says, "I should think positive.

Ava, you can't do a cartwheel yet.

But what can you do?

So I thought of all the things."

So even though she can't do a cartwheel, her mom's reminding her, there's a lot of things you can do.

So take some time and think about those things.

What are some things you can do?

What are you good at?

Tell somebody around you what you're really good at.

Oh, wow, you guys are good at so many things.

You must be really proud of yourself.

Proud.

That's another feeling word.

Let's see what Ava's good at.

I can do.

Hmm.

I can make lots of bubbles when I wash my hands.

That's a fun thing to do.

I can help my mom make our summer plans.

What are we going to do today?

I can eat all my veggies and drink all my water.

I can pick up my toys and be a number one daughter.

Eva's good at a lot of things.

Even though she can't do a cartwheel, yet there are a lot of things she can do.

With the hula hoop, I am the best.

I can earn an A on my sight word test.

I can say the alphabet and recite my vowels.

I can help with some chores and hang up my towels.

Yeah, I bet you guys are good at that too.

There's a lot of things we can do.

We can help out around the house.

We can do things at home and at school with our friends and our family.

I can play soccer and run really fast.

I can be a good sport, even if my team comes in last.

That means Ava's really good at having a positive attitude, even if her team loses.

It might not feel good to lose, but Ava's great at saying that's okay.

Maybe we'll win next time.

I can read lots of words and make them rhyme.

I can try not to whine when my dad says it's bedtime.

I can jump rope and do hopscotch.

What else can I do?

I'd say quite a lot.

I can play the piano and pretend to be a pop star.

I can put on my seat belt when I ride in Papa's car.

I can help clean up my neighborhood and pick up litter.

I can draw a masterpiece with colors and glitter.

I can choose to think positive, even when it's hard.

I can help my Maw Maw barbecue in the backyard.

As Ava's thinking about all of the things that she can do, do you think her mood is changing?

Remember, last time she was feeling sad and angry.

Do you think she's still feeling those things?

I think she's feeling better too.

Thinking about all of the things that she could do is making her feel happier and proud and feeling really good about who she is and the things that she can do.

I can touch the bottom of a pool in the shallow end.

I can even do a back bend.

I can be brave.

I could be smart.

I can sleep in my own room even when it's dark.

And though there are things that I can't do yet, all I can do I must never forget.

Oh, and those cartwheels?

It's still my big goal.

Getting my feet up and over is harder than you know.

But I believe in myself and I'm doing my personal best.

I know with patience and more practice, I will have success.

And there's our author.

Our other author, it's a mother-daughter team.

And this story was written to remind all of us what we can do is important as what we can't do.

So thinking about the story, we talked about characters' feelings.

So Ava, our main character, had lots of big feelings in this story.

At the beginning, she was feeling pretty good, and she was talking about all of the things her friends could do.

And then she tried doing a cartwheel, and her feelings changed.

She went from being really happy to feeling sad and frustrated because she was learning something new and she wasn't good at it yet.

And then her mother reminded her of all the things she could do.

And as she thought about all the things she could do, she turned that frown upside down and into a smile and was feeling happy again.

So as you're reading and thinking about characters, think about those big feelings your characters are having and notice when they change.

Thank you for joining me again.

I'll see you next time.

Bye everybody.

(upbeat music) - Hi there Room 9.

I'm Mrs.

Williams, the Woodland Creature Teacher.

Today, we're going to be exploring the water cycle.

So let's break that into parts.

The first word was water.

Water is so important and it is everywhere.

71% of planet earth is made up of water.

Water is something that we use to drink, that we use to bathe, that we play in.

Plants and animals need water to survive.

That's why the water cycle is so important.

The second part of that is the word cycle.

When I hear cycle, I think of a bicycle.

And a bicycle has wheels.

They turn and turn and turn.

They go around and around and around, just like the water cycle.

The water cycle is a process that repeats on earth over and over again.

Think about water that you see after a rainy or snowy day, when it puddles on the ground.

Sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not.

What happens to that water?

Where does it go?

Well, we're going to use this piece of plastic to demonstrate a puddle.

I'm going to put some condensation on here and we'll pretend that's our puddle.

Watch what happens.

In comes the sun and the wind.

I'd like to introduce you to our friend, Beth, the sun.

Beth is super important to Earth as well.

Just like water, humans, plants, and animals need the sun to survive.

Provides warmth and heat, helps plants to grow.

Thanks, Beth, for being our sun.

Now, when that water evaporates, the water turns into vapor and travels up into the sky.

Think about those bright, sunny summer days when you start to see just a few wisps of clouds rolling across the sky.

As that evaporation cycle continues, the clouds start to build and in comes our stormy cloud, Emma.

Now that's not to say Emma's normally dark and stormy, but this cloud sure will be soon.

As the water, as the water vapor collects inside of the cloud, it grows bigger and darker and stormier.

And then it begins to rain.

Sometimes it rains a lot.

Sometimes it rains a little.

But no matter what, the plants and animals really need that rain to survive.

Now, let's just say that that dark and stormy sky came along on a cold winter's day instead of that warm, sunny day.

Thanks for your help, Stormy.

That would make for a different story altogether.

Now, when the temperatures drop below freezing, that changes our water cycle altogether.

Water freezes at temperatures below 32 degrees.

What kind of precipitation would we have instead of rain?

I heard a lot of really great ideas, Room 9.

Someone said snow.

Thumbs up and a wiggle if you love some winter precipitation in the form of snow.

Also, sleet.

Those little icy pellets that go tap, tap, tap on your windows in the wintertime.

Could also come down in the form of hail, a little bit larger form of ice.

Now, I want you to think about why the water cycle is so important and who it's important to.

The water cycle occurs not just in puddles, but also as in rivers, lakes, streams, and oceans.

What types of things live in those rivers, lakes, streams, and oceans?

Yes, we have mammals that drink from them, otters, fish, even starfish, one of my faves.

They all need water to survive.

That's why it's so important that our water stays clean and healthy for those animals and also for humans.

And that that water cycle keeps going around and around in that same healthy way.

Can you think of some ways that you can help to keep our water cycle clean?

Good thinking Room Niners.

I heard put trash into trash cans.

Be sure that recyclable items like glass, plastic and aluminum go into the recycle.

And also make sure that you never put chemicals into our water system.

I hope that you had fun learning about the water cycle and visiting with the sun and the clouds, and I'll see you again soon.

Bye.

- Time for Music with Bhoo.

Mrs.

Bhooshan here, and welcome back to Music in Room 9.

Today we're going to do some high and some low sounds with our voice.

In order to do that we're going to use the slide whistle.

My slide whistle can go from high to low or from low to high.

Listen.

So can you copy the noise that my slide whistle makes?

And all I want you to do is put your hands like this like you're holding a slide whistle and copy what I do with my slide whistle.

So if I go from high to low I want you to make the sound and make your hands do the same thing.

Ready?

Listen first.

Your turn.

Try this one.

How about this one.

And last one.

Great job.

I brought some of my frog friends to help us make high and low sounds as well.

All three of my frogs are up nice and high.

So can you sing with me?

High, high, high.

Try that.

High, high, high.

Good job.

But if I move my frogs down low, can we sing low, low, low?

Try that.

Low, low, low.

Great.

Now let's mix them up from high to low.

High, high, low.

Try that.

High, high, low.

Let's do one more.

Can you do this one?

Ready?

Here we go.

High, low, low.

Great job.

And that was music with Bhoo.

(upbeat music) - Hola muchachos, hello boys and girls.

I'm Senor Johnson and welcome to Teaching in Room 9, the region's largest classroom.

Today, boys and girls, we're gonna learn how to count from one to 10, but in Spanish.

Let's learn the words for one through 10.

For one, uno, two, dos, three, tres, four, cuatro, five, cinco, six, seis, seven, siete, eight, ocho, nine, nueve, and 10, diez.

So they are again, uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez.

Let's review some of these numbers.

No, I want to stop on the number seis.

Seis means six, because if you look below, I have seis frutas diferentes.

I have six different fruits.

Four naranjas.

I have two limones.

We'll see if you remember those.

I'm gonna count to see how many in total we have.

If you can count with me and remember.

Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis.

Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis.

How many naranjas, oranges, do I have?

I have cuatro naranjas.

How many limones do I have?

Uno, dos.

I have dos limones.

So in total, I have uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis frutas.

Dos limones, cuatro naranjas, seis frutas.

Thank you for learning your numbers.

(speaking in foreign language) - Great day, everybody.

This is Candice with Khaos, and I wanna introduce you to my friend, Kyra.

Kyra is absolutely amazing, and she's a Khaos Kid, but Kyra deals with bullying.

Have you ever dealt with bullying?

Listen, nobody likes that.

And so what Kyra has learned is whenever somebody says something or does something to her that she doesn't like, she makes sure that she tells a trusted adult, I want you to do the same thing because it's not fair to you for anybody to treat you bad.

Okay?

Because you're absolutely amazing.

And you got this.

Air hugs and cyber kisses.

- Welcome back.

Did you have an amazing day of learning?

Good.

Okay.

Can you tell me about your favorite part?

I like, I love that part too.

I like it.

I kind of love it a little bit.

What else?

Oh, yes, yes.

That was amazing.

All right, now it's time for me just to teach a little lesson.

Let's see.

Oh, let me get a drink first.

Woo, that was good.

But my hands are all wet.

Why do you think my hands are wet?

'Cause, no, I didn't spill it.

I didn't spill.

The bottle is sweating.

You are right.

The bottle is sweating.

Probably because of the air temperature.

Yes, yes.

But you know, that is also part of the water cycle.

If you take a look at my little chart up here, we'll talk about why my condensation is happening.

If we take a look, let's start up here.

What is this right here?

Yes, a cloud.

And then we have the what?

Rain.

Right, right.

We have the rain.

And then from the rain it goes to, yes, it goes into a big puddle or maybe a river or maybe a lake.

And then it goes, then what happens after it comes out the lake?

It evaporates back into the air.

Just like my condensation on my bottle, it evaporates back into the air.

And then it keeps coming, going around and around and around.

But boys and girls, it is time.

It is time for us to get out of Room 9.

But before we get out of Room 9, can we spell our favorite word?

Nine, N-I-N-E, nine.

Thank you for being in Room 9.
