(upbeat music) - Hello, everyone, and welcome to "Teaching in Room 9," the region's- - Shapes are everywhere we look, but- - Good job.

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

- Can say to ourselves to be positive.

- Lemurs are found on the island of Madagascar.

- For one, when the numbers get bigger as we go across to the right.

- Reset, that means taking a deep breath.

It may mean counting to 10.

- Today we're gonna start with a freestyle stroke.

So I'm gonna put my arms up and I'm going to- - All righty, are you ready to learn?

Let's go!

(upbeat music) The region's largest classroom.

I am Dr. Sanders in my amazing class, I'm sorry, in our amazing classroom where you can go anywhere and be anything!

As we start our journey, what do I always say?

It doesn't matter if you're 2 or 102, we will have some fun!

F-U-N, fun!

We will have some fun while learning!

We are going to get started on this journey by me taking off my hat!

Yes, yes, yes.

And spelling some of my friends' names!

You all right?

My first name today, are you ready?

It's Raygan!

Let's spell Raygan.

Capital R-A-Y-G-A-N. R-A-Y-G-A-N. And my last name today is Karlee!

Hello, Karlee!

Let's spell Karlee.

Capital K-A-R-L-E-E. K-A-R-L-E-E.

I didn't hear you.

No, I can't spell everybody's name, but you know what?

On three, everybody shout out your name and I'll say hi to you, okay?

One, two, three.

Hello, everybody!

Hello!

(laughs) Man, that was a lot of names!

That was a lot of names!

Are you ready?

Are you sure you're ready to get on this journey?

Are you sure?

I am too.

I can't wait to see all the fun that we have planned for you today!

So let's go!

(children cheering and clapping) (soft music) - Glen?

Glen, Glen, Glen.

Glen, are you sleeping?

Glen, what are you doing?

It's daytime outside.

It's not nighttime, it's not time for bed.

Do you need to talk about the difference between day and night?

It looks like you need to talk about it.

Okay, maybe we can talk to our friends about the difference between day and night too.

Okay, wake up.

Okay.

To talk about the difference between day and night, we can use something called a T chart.

A T chart can help us think about the differences between two things.

You can see it's in the shape of a T, that's how it gets its name.

We are going to look at some pictures that will help us see the difference between day and night.

I'm going to have my helper, Jessie, come out and help us with some pictures.

Thanks, Jessie.

So the first two pictures are what we see in the sky in the daytime, the sun, and in the nighttime, the moon.

So, day, sun, night, the moon.

The second pictures show us the kinds of light that we might see outside of our window.

At night, it's dark, and in the daytime, it's light.

So night, dark, day, light.

All right.

And the last set of pictures shows us some things that we might do during the day.

Hmm.

In the nighttime we go to sleep, and in the daytime we stay awake and we go to school.

Night, go to sleep.

Day, go to school.

There's our pictures.

Thanks for helping, Jessie.

So now we know the difference between day and night and how we can use a T chart to tell the difference.

You can use a T chart for lots of things.

The difference between people and animals, the difference between shapes and colors.

So, Glen, do you know the difference between day and night?

Great, and you know how to use a T chart too, and so do you, so now you are ready to go to school.

(lighthearted music) - Hi, friends.

Welcome back to another Read Aloud with Mrs.

Forth.

Today, we're gonna be reading a non-fiction book.

Non-fiction books teach us information.

As we read this book today, I want you to be on the lookout for new things that you're learning.

If you see or hear something new, I want you to say fact, because it's a new fact that we're learning inside the book.

Non-fiction teaches us, and a lot of the times they give us facts to teach us that information.

The book we're gonna read today is called "Maya's Tiny Warriors."

This book was written by Manasi Vegesna, and this was illustrated by Sharifa Patrick.

So thank you to the illustrator and the author for writing the book and drawing the pictures.

"Maya's Tiny Warriors."

And remember, when you hear something new that you've learned, say fact!

"Early in the morning, the alarm began to sound.

Ring, ring, ring, ring!

Shooting out from under her covers, Maya knew something was wrong.

Her skin was sticky with sweat, her body ached, and her head throbbed."

To throb is to kind of feel like it is beating inside, like you can almost feel your heartbeat.

It was throbbing.

Her head really hurt.

"Ring," went the alarm clock.

"Maya climbed out of her bed to walk downstairs.

Her mom, Leela, was making Maya's favorite breakfast: chocolate chip pancakes.

It was the first day of school and Leela wanted it to be special.

But, for some reason, the smell of warm, ooey-gooey pancakes made Maya's tummy turn."

She's not feeling too good, is she?

Have we learned anything new yet?

Have you had any facts?

Nope, not yet, keep reading.

"'What is it, Maya?

Have you started getting ready for school?'

'I don't feel too good,' Maya said.

Leela felt Maya's forehead.

Burning hot!

So, Leela brought water and blankets to Maya's room and told Maya that she'd be staying home from school that day."

Poor Maya.

"Maya felt terrible, so she complained and complained and complained.

Most of all, Maya was scared.

Were her friends missing her at school?

Would she ever get better?

But, little did Maya realize, there was a battle happening inside her own body, working to defeat her illness.

You see, Maya had her own warriors, called immune cells, that fought off invaders and protected her body.

Rawr!"

There was a fact, wasn't there?

Immune cells.

Immune cells are inside our body, and they help fight off invaders like infections and viruses that make us feel icky and sick, like Maya.

"Part of a bigger team called the lymphatic system, her warriors took on different tasks."

Fact!

And the lymphatic system, that's the part of our body that these warriors are part of that help us get better when we're feeling sick.

"The blue team, made up of B cells, acted like the intelligence center for the army.

The yellow team, made up of T cells, acted like the generals as they worked with the blue team.

The red team, made up of macrophages, chewed up and destroyed invading germs."

I heard some fact, fact, fact going on out there.

Yes, we've got blue cells and T cells and macrophages.

All of those things work together inside our body to help fight infections, and they're working really hard in Maya's body.

"When the blue team found a suspicious cell, they memorized its appearance and made antibodies.

These antibodies were a kind of top-secret language that only the red, blue, and yellow teams could understand.

They helped relay information so that the other warriors knew who to attack.

So, the antibodies grabbed onto specific sites on the invaders.

The yellow team recognized cells with these antibody tags and attacked them."

Fact!

Antibodies.

Antibodies are also part of the lymphatic system, and antibodies are made to help protect us, so they know exactly which bad bugs inside of us they want to attack.

Oh, Maya looks awful, doesn't she?

Here she is sleeping, and everything inside is working really, really hard inside her body to get her better quick.

"The blue team kept giving out orders.

The red and yellow team kept fighting.

Throughout all this, Maya tossed and turned.

The battle took a toll on her body.

Her fever got worse before Maya could feel better."

Fevers are when our temperature gets really warm inside our body, and it's actually a way our body is working hard.

That's how we know, when we get a fever, that all of these things inside our body are working really hard to get us better.

"Sometimes, these invaders disguised their true form, acting like any one of Maya's cells."

See the disguise in the picture.

He's got a funny little glasses and nose on, trying to act like something he's not, but he's really one of the bad guys, one of the viruses making her sick.

"But each invader has a fingerprint that helps the immune cells recognize who is who.

So the blue team scanned the surrounding area with their Supersonic MicroBlasters and zapped the enemy cells.

The war was long and hard, and many immune cells were lost in the process.

Maya's warriors kept fighting, however, because they knew their goal was to save Maya at all costs.

They battled tirelessly through the night, tackling enemy after enemy with the help of their teammates.

And slowly but surely, Maya could feel herself getting lighter.

Her pain was going away, and she began to fall into a deep sleep.

Finally, after they vanquished the last of the invaders, they sounded a victory cheer."

Hooray!

Can you imagine all of those cells inside your body cheering when they finally get rid of that virus that's making you feel icky?

Hooray!

Hooray!

"The next day, the alarm rang again.

Ring, ring, ring, ring!

To her joy, Maya woke up this time feeling like her usual self.

She excitedly jumped out of bed and got ready for school."

So glad Maya's feeling better.

"When she raced downstairs, her mom was again preparing her favorite chocolate chip pancakes.

Maya gobbled down her breakfast and zoomed out the door, fully prepared for the upcoming day.

And all the while, her immune system kept on the lookout, waiting to protect her at any sign of trouble."

The end.

Aren't you glad Maya got better?

As I read this book, I noticed many of you saying, "Fact, fact!"

at all of the information that we were learning.

We learned all about the lymphatic system, and we learned about all of the cells that work together to fight infections in our body.

So when we're feeling sick, we should feel good knowing that inside our body we have just what we need to make us feel better.

And we learned all of that in this non-fiction book.

Remember, non-fiction teaches us things, and non-fiction books are a great way to grow our brains.

So make sure next time you read a non-fiction book, you pay attention to those facts as you learn new things.

Thanks again for reading "Maya's Tiny Warriors."

I can't wait to see you for another Read Aloud.

I'll see you next time.

Bye, everybody.

(upbeat music) - Hi, everybody, and welcome to "Teaching in Room 9."

My name is Ms. St. Louis and I'm here to do a movement lesson with you today.

So let's get started by warming up from our head to our toes.

We're gonna begin by shaking our head yes, going up and down, and side to side to say no, and ear to shoulder to say maybe so.

And we're gonna stretch up, taking a deep breath in, (inhales) and reach down to our toes, holding for five.

One, two, three, four, five.

And let's come up slow.

So we are gonna take some of our favorite fruits and vegetables and proteins and we are gonna shake 'em all about.

Are you ready?

We're gonna start with some grapes.

I've got mine.

Do you have yours?

Let's go.

How do you feel?

I feel pretty good too.

Did you see some of your favorite fruits or vegetables?

So did I.

One thing I notice about all of these different foods is that they come in so many colors.

It's really important that when we make a plate full of food, that we make sure that all of the colors of the rainbow are seen on our plate.

Think of something that's red that you can eat.

Ooh, something like strawberries.

So next time you're making your plate, see if you can get every color that you can on that plate.

Until then, we'll see you back here in Room 9.

Bye, everyone!

- [Children] One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

- Hi there, Room 9.

It's me, Mrs. Williams, the Woodland Creature Teacher.

When I'm not here teaching and learning with you in Room 9, I'm teaching and learning with all my first graders.

So hi and lots of love to all of the Woodland Creatures.

Today, we're going to get growing our math brains with some numbers and time.

Now, there are two different special words that we're going to be talking about today: midnight and noon.

Hmm, what do you already know about this?

Well, let's talk a little bit more and continue growing our brains I have a little number chart here to help you out.

What is this?

Do you recognize this thing?

It's a clock, we call it an analog clock, and it shows 12 hours on its face.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, and 12.

Now, there are 24 hours in a day.

Hmm.

Well, if my clock doesn't have 24 numbers on it, how in the world does a clock show me all 24 hours in a day?

That's where AM and PM come in and our special words, do you remember them?

Midnight and noon.

So the beginning of each day happens at 12:00 AM.

Hmm, 12:00 AM, we're usually (snores)... Sleep in our beds.

12:00 AM happens in the middle of the night when we're usually sleeping.

Then we have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, and 12 before another change happens.

This is considered noon, or 12:00 PM.

Both 12:00 AM and 12:00 PM look exactly the same on a clock.

On an analog clock with a minute and an hour hand, they'll both look like this.

A digital clock will look like this.

(marker scratching) A digital clock will also usually show you AM or PM.

AM is 12:00 AM, that time in the middle of the night, or midnight that we talked about, and 12:00 PM is the time in the middle of the day.

Now, let's think a little bit about these times in between.

What kinds of things would you maybe be doing at seven or eight o'clock in the morning?

I know what I would be doing.

Probably getting out of bed, eating breakfast, brushing my teeth, and getting ready to teach the Woodland Creatures.

What kinds of things would we be doing at noon or 12:00 PM?

That's what I was thinking.

We'd probably be getting ready for lunch.

Now, after noon or after 12:00 PM, we have the same numbers again.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, and we're back to 12:00 AM.

These numbers would be considered PM.

What kinds of things might you be doing here around five or six o'clock?

I do the same thing.

I'm usually eating dinner with my family.

What types of things might you be doing around 8:00 or 9:00 PM?

Probably brushing those teeth, getting on your jammies, and getting ready for bed.

Me too.

I hope you had fun learning about noon and midnight and AM and PM.

Your challenge this week is to show me a schedule.

I wanna see what times you do the things in your day.

I hope you have a great week and I'll see you again soon.

Bye!

- Great day!

This is Candice with KHAOS.

And today, we are gonna learn about the KHAOS Kids.

And so the KHAOS Kids are a group of kids that they're just like you.

Life has happened to them sometimes, but they've learned how to keep healing and overcoming struggles.

And so, every day being a kid, you have to sometimes do things like sit still, sometimes you have to focus, you gotta do different things like that.

And so I'm gonna tell you about one of the KHAOS Kids.

His name is Xavier, and Xavier has a hard time with focusing.

Do you ever have a hard time with focusing?

I know sometimes I do.

And so because of this, Xavier had to learn some skills so that Xavier can do things like learn in school, he can do things like learn different activities, learn different sports, you know, those types of things.

And so one thing that Xavier had to learn how to do is take deep breaths and get all of the wiggles out and then focus.

And so I want you to do it with me, okay?

And so first and foremost, I want you to get all the wiggles out.

You ready?

One, two, three.

Get the wiggles out, all of them, get 'em.

Get 'em out, out, out, out.

Shake 'em, shake your hands, shake 'em.

Get the wiggles out, feet, all of 'em.

Shake 'em, get 'em out.

You got your wiggles out?

Okay, now that we got all the wiggles out, I want you to take a deep breath.

Let's go.

(inhales) In, (exhales) out.

(inhales) In, (exhales) out.

And now that we've gotten our wiggles out and we've taken a deep breath, now we're ready, okay?

So I want you to be really still and I want you to stand like a tree.

Be your best tree ever, okay?

And so I want you to be a strong tree, okay?

So I want you to stand, and I want you to let your body be really good and firm, and then I want you just to pay attention to what's happening in front of you.

I want you to think about something good, think about something that you like or something that you really, really wanna do, and I want you to just focus on that.

Can you do that?

Just focus.

You can keep your eyes closed or you can keep 'em open.

I'm gonna close my eyes because I like to do that.

And I'm gonna focus.

And I'm focusing on playing baseball because I like to play baseball sometimes.

I'm not really good at it, but I like that.

And so I want you to be still and focus.

All right.

I want you to try that whenever you have a hard time focusing.

I want you to take some time and get all of the wiggles out first.

Then take your breaths, breathe in, (inhales) breathe out, (exhales) breathe in, (inhales) breathe out, and then I want you to be strong and like a tree, okay?

Because trees, sometimes they move a little bit, but they're strong, and that allows you to focus, okay?

You got this.

Let me know how it works if you try it.

Air hugs and cyber kisses.

(bright music) - Welcome back!

Yeah, I know you are so ready to tell me about that amazing time you had today.

Okay, hold on, hold on one second.

Okay, tell me your favorite part.

(light music) Oh, yes, yes.

Well, I'm glad you enjoyed your day today.

All right, let's take a look at these things on my desk.

What are they called?

Letters!

You are right!

And this is my what?

You are right, that's my name!

Let's take a look at my name.

I'm looking for my yellow letters.

Can anybody tell me where are my yellow letters?

Yes, one is right here.

And what letter is that?

A, yes, yes, yes, that's the letter A. Oh, what color?

Yes, it's the letter R!

It is also yellow.

Man, you all are amaze, you're good!

When did you become so smart?

But unfortunately, it is time for us to get outta Room 9.

But before we go, let's spell our favorite word!

And what's that word?

Nine!

Let's spell nine!

N-I-N-E, nine!

Thank you for being in Room 9!

Bye-bye!
