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

- Good job!

Now, go on 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.

- One, and 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- - Alrighty, are you ready to learn?

Let's go!

(energetic music) (bright music) Oh my goodness, I just love books!

Oh, welcome back to "Teaching in Room 9," the region's largest classroom.

I am Dr. Sanders, and we are here in our very special classroom where you can go anywhere and be anything you want to be.

As we start our journey today, please remember, 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.

It's time to get started, but before we get started, let me take off my hat.

And we're gonna start by saying some of my friend's names.

All of you are my friends, but I got a couple special shout-outs.

My first shout-out goes to Buck.

(bell dings) Hi, Buck!

Everybody say, "Hey, Buck!"

(bell dings) All right, let's spell Buck's name.

Capital B-U-C-K. B-U-C-K. (bell dings) Hey, Buck!

And my last name's, his name is Trevor!

Let's spell Trevor.

Capital T-R-E-V-O-R. Everybody say, "Hey, Trevor!"

(bell dings) Are you ready to have some fun today?

Do you think we're going to have some fun today?

I think we're gonna go on so many adventures that you just don't know, we don't know what's going to happen.

Are you ready for those adventures?

- [Kids] Yes!

- I am too!

Hmm... We can go on an adventure in our classroom, did you know that?

Alrighty then, we are ready to have an amazing time in "Teaching in Room 9"?

- [Kids] Yes!

- Yes, yes, yes, here we go!

I'll see you in a minute!

- Yay!

(kids clapping) (bright music) - Glen, did make this?

What an amazing painting, look at all of these color.

Is that a kitty cat?

That is so good.

Now all you have to do is sign your name so that everyone will know you're the artist.

Well, don't you want everyone to know that you did this amazing masterpiece?

Do you know how to spell your name?

That's okay.

Would you like me to help you practice?

We can practice with all of our friends, and we can show them how they can practice spelling their name too.

Okay!

We're going to practice with two strategies.

The first strategy is the arm tap.

So you have to say your name, Glen, and think of all the sounds.

g, l, e, n. Now we're going to start at the top of your arm and tap and say each sound, ready?

g, l, e, n. Great, let's do it again.

g, l, e, n. Fantastic!

Okay.

Are you ready for the second strategy?

That's the clapping strategy.

So, you're going to say your name and each sound, and every time you say a sound, you're going to clap it out, ready?

(claps) g, l, e, n. Great!

Let's do it again.

(claps) g, l, e, n. That's great!

How about you?

Can you practice using the tap strategy (claps) or the clap strategy?

- [Kids] Yes!

- Great job!

You might find that your name has less letters or more letters, but that's okay, you can still clap or tap.

Glen, are you ready to write your name?

Let's do the big reveal.

Tell me your letters.

g, l, e, n. You did it!

He did it, and now you did it, and you are ready to go to school.

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

- Hey there, everyone.

Welcome to "Teaching in Room 9."

I'm Ms. Williams, I teach second grade.

Today we're gonna learn all about skip counting.

You hear the word skip counting, you go skip!

That's exactly what we're gonna do, skip or jump to count today.

And you're gonna also learn the reasons why we skip count.

Are you guys ready for that?

Okay, great.

So let's say that we can count.

We know how to count, right?

Okay, great, let's count, normal, counting forward, from 1 to 10, are you guys ready to count at home with me?

Okay, great, let's count.

You guys ready?

Okay, here we go.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10!

Did you guys get to it?

I know you did, you're super smart, great job counting to 10.

That's just our normal way that we count, we count one at a time, counting on.

Well, sometimes we can't count on only one at a time, sometimes we need to count by a little bit more.

We are trying to get to the number 20.

Hmm, one by one would take a little bit longer.

You guys think that we can count by, let's say, twos to get to 20?

I think we can.

But we gotta think, hmm, how do I skip count by twos?

Well, this is all we do, is just to start at the beginning and skip or jump two numbers, and we'll start with those numbers, are you guys ready?

So we're at zero, our imaginary number right here, zero.

And we're gonna skip count by twos, are you guys ready?

We're gonna to use our little, handy little froggy jumpy to get to those numbers, you guys ready for that?

All right.

So we're gonna silently count to two by one at a time.

One, two.

That's our first two is the number two.

We skipped two of them, and we start at two.

You guys ready to count again?

We're gonna skip two, and get to the next two.

Here we go.

One, two.

Our next two is a four, so we have two, then four.

Are you ready to do it again?

Let's count, skip two of 'em again, here we go.

We're gonna jump.

One, two.

Six!

So we had two, four, six.

We're counting by twos, guys, you're doing amazing.

You ready to do it again?

Okay.

One, two.

Now we're at eight.

So we had two, four, six, and eight.

Let's do it again, we're doing so great.

Skip again, one, two.

10!

2, 4, 6, 8, 10.

Notice how I'm jumping.

Good job.

Let's do it again, we'll get to one, two, and 12.

Then keep going to 14, we're almost to 20!

Then keep going to (gasps) 16.

Skip counting, one, two.

18, and then we're gonna skip count one more time.

One, two more skip counts, and we're at 20!

Yay!

Good job, guys!

But what if we wanted to get all the way to 40 but even faster than that?

You can also count by tens, you ready to do that?

We got this 'cause this is the easiest one.

We have a trick to count by tens.

When we wanna count by tens on our number line, all we have to do is start at our number 10 and go down.

You guys ready to do that?

Here we go.

Here's 10.

We're skipping all those numbers 10 times.

And then we get to 20.

And then we skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip to get to 30.

And then we skip, skip, skip, skip, skip to get to 40.

Can you guys tell me what number might be after that?

What's the next 10?

Hmm, I said 10, 20, 30, 40.

Hmm, think about it.

(gasps) If you said 50, you are 100% right!

50 would be our next 10.

That was pretty fast.

That took us so quick.

We were able to skip count quickly because we were able to count by bigger numbers.

Counting by ones is totally fine, but only if you have a small amount.

When you have bigger and bigger objects or bigger things to count, you wanna skip count maybe by twos or fives or tens.

You know that we can also get it even further if we have something that's gigantic to count, and count by hundreds.

(gasps) Do you guys think you can do that?

Okay, I want you to try it at home then.

If you can count by hundreds, wow, I'll be impressed.

So, whenever we're skip counting, don't forget that you're gonna jump by however many you're going to count by, whether it's by twos, by fives, or by tens.

The bigger the number, the more higher you should skip count.

That's all the time I got for you guys today, you guys did amazing, I am so proud.

I can't wait to see you next time.

I'm Ms. Williams, see you later.

(bright music) - Hi, friends.

Welcome back for another Read Aloud with Mrs.

Forth.

I'm excited to share a new book with you today called "Josh's Show and Tell: The Magic Candle."

This book was written by Tamara Shap and illustrated by DG.

Let's thank the author and the illustrator for making this book together so we could read it together today.

As we read this book, I want us to really think about what happened in the story.

We're gonna be retelling the story, thinking about what happened at the beginning, the middle, and the end.

Are you ready to do that work with me?

All right, let's read "Josh's Show and Tell: The Magic Candle."

"Today was Show and Tell in Josh's Kindergarten class.

All the kids brought something special from home to share with the class.

Now it was Josh's turn.

He jumped up out of his seat and ran to the front of the room.

Josh wanted to teach his friends about his mom's magic trick.

Josh began his story."

Show and tell.

We already know who is in this story and where this character is.

Can you remember the character's name?

That's right, it's Josh.

And where is Josh?

He's at school.

He's about to tell the story of the magic candle.

"He told the class: I was so excited for show and tell this morning, but everything was going wrong.

First, I couldn't find my favorite shirt.

It was blue and had a picture of a yellow truck.

I was really upset and started crying.

I didn't want to cry, but I couldn't stop."

Has that ever happened to you?

Have you been so upset you just started crying and you couldn't make yourself stop?

Yeah, me too.

It's normal to have those feelings and to get upset sometimes.

You could see here's Josh telling his teacher and his friends all about how he was feeling when he couldn't find his favorite shirt.

I wonder if he finds it.

Oh, he does, doesn't he?

You can see in that picture.

He found his shirt.

"Mom said that to calm down I had to blow out the magic candle, but I didn't know what that was.

She said everyone has a magic candle that helps them when they feel really upset or mad."

If everyone has a magic candle, that means you have a magic candle, and I do too.

"We have to hold up a finger and pretend it's a candle."

Hold up your finger, everyone.

Let's all hold up our magic candles.

"Then, we must blow on it three times.

Like this."

One, (blows) two, (blows) three.

(blows) Can you blow out your magic candles three times?

Let's do that again together, ready?

One, (blows) two, (blows) three.

(blows) So, Josh was feeling really upset, and then what happened?

Yeah, his mom taught him a trick to calm his body down.

The magic candle trick.

"I did it just like she said and I counted 1... (blows) 2... (blows) 3... (blows) and guess what?

I stopped crying!

It was amazing!

My mom and I searched for the shirt together.

First we looked in my closet... Then under my bed.

Finally we found it in a pile of clothes on my chair!"

You see the shirt right there?

How do you think Josh is feeling now?

Yeah, pretty good, I don't think he's crying anymore, is he?

That is kind of magical, that candle, isn't it?

"I was excited that I started jumping up and down and all over the place.

By accident, I stepped on my favorite toy truck and broke it!

The wheel fell off and rolled away.

I know it was just an accident, but I was still really upset."

Uh-oh, Josh is feeling bad again.

He's feeling upset inside.

Can you predict what his mom might help him do?

Take out that magic candle again.

"I looked at my mom, and she was blowing out her own magic candle.

I did the same and counted 1... 2... 3...

I felt better right away."

Take out your magic candles, ready?

One, (blows) two, (blows) three, (blows) Feeling better already.

What a great magic trick his mom is teaching him.

"Mom said we could fix the truck if we worked together.

We only had a few minutes before I had to leave for school, so we worked really fast.

I searched for the missing wheel... My mom ran to get glue... And we fixed it just in time before running out the door!"

So Josh was feeling really upset, and then his mom taught him a magic trick.

What happened after that?

He did get upset again, and he kind of knew, because of what his mom taught him, that he had a trick to make himself feel better, and they worked together to fix that truck.

"This morning, I thought today was going to be the worst day ever.

I lost my shirt, broke my truck, and felt awful.

But then, it turned out to be the best day: I found my shirt, fixed my truck, and now I know about the Magic Candle Trick."

You can see here he is back at school.

And what are all of his friends doing?

Yeah, look at all of their fingers up.

They're trying the magic candle too, aren't they?

So not only did mom teach Josh a trick, Josh now taught his friends all about this magic trick.

"Who wants to try the magic candle trick with me?"

You wanna do it one last time with Josh?

Hold those fingers up, ready?

One, (blows) two, (blows) three.

(blows) What'd you think about this story?

Yeah, I really liked it too.

I loved how Josh learned how to make himself feel better.

'Kay, remember when we started our Read Aloud today, I told you you were gonna do some work about retelling.

Retelling is telling what happened in the story.

So right now we're gonna practice telling all the way from the beginning, the middle, and the end.

Are you ready to do it?

Okay, in the beginning, we wanna think about who is in the story and where are they.

So who is this story about?

Hmm... What's that character's name?

Josh, yeah, the story's about Josh.

Where was Josh?

He was at school, so Josh was at school.

What was he doing?

He was telling all about the magic trick.

Okay, let's say that together.

Josh was at school telling his friends about the magic trick.

Okay, keep going.

What happened next?

He started telling about how upset he was, yeah, about his shirt, he couldn't find his shirt.

And what else happened in the middle?

He also broke his truck.

Yeah, that's exactly right.

In the middle, Josh told all about his terrible mourning, didn't he?

Is that all that happened in the middle?

He lost his shirt, he broke his truck.

Hmm... No, he learned about the magic trick, that's right, that's an important thing to retell about the story.

What is that magic trick?

Oh, I see you with your fingers out there.

Oh, I see some of you blowing out your candles too.

(blows) That's right.

So he lost his shirt, he broke his truck, but mom taught him how to calm down when he's feeling upset.

And how does the story end?

You told me about the beginning, you told me about the middle, but how does it end?

Yes, he taught his friends about that magic trick too.

He learned something new from his mom, and then he went and he told his friends all about it at school, and now they have a way to feel better when they feel upset too.

So in this story, "Josh's Show and Tell," you were able to retell what happened from the beginning, in the middle, and the end.

And you also learned a new trick for when you're feeling upset.

So I hope when you're feeling upset, you remember to put your magic candle up and blow (blows) one, (blows) two, (blows) three times.

I hope you enjoyed the story as much as I did, and I can't wait to see you again next time for another Read Aloud.

See you next time.

Bye, friends.

(playful 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 guys today, so let's jump right in and get moving.

We're gonna start by warming up our body with a few stretches.

So let's shake our head yes and no and maybe so.

We're gonna stretch up nice and tall and reach for our toes, counting to five.

One, two, three, four, five.

Come back up and stretch for the ceiling.

One, two, three, four, five.

Now, today we're gonna do a bunch of movements that mimic the way an animal moves.

When we mimic something, that means that we copy their actions.

So we're gonna start by doing some elephant stomps.

So we're gonna bring our knees up high and stomp around like an elephant.

Show me your elephant stomps!

(feet stomping) Nice, big stomps.

Can you throw in an elephant trunk, swing nice up and high.

(elephant trumpeting) Use both arms to show me your trunk swing.

And freeze.

Can you show me some monkey swings?

(monkeys hooting) Big swinging arms, like a monkey swinging through a tree.

Very nice!

Look at those big swings!

And swing back to your standing point.

Well, what do monkeys like to eat?

Hmm... That's right, monkeys love to eat bananas!

It's one of their favorite foods.

Now we're gonna move into our cheetahs.

One thing I know about cheetahs is they are super fast.

So we are gonna run in place as fast as we can, just like those fast cheetahs, are you ready?

Set, go!

Run in places as fast as you can!

Keep going, just like you're running across the Savannah!

And freeze.

Ooh, what do you think a cheetah likes to eat?

Hmm... You know what?

You're right.

They probably like to eat chicken or beef.

They like a lot of meat.

'Kay, we're gonna move onto being a penguin.

I'm gonna stand up nice and tall, and I'm gonna waddle around like a penguin, moving from side to side.

(penguin squawking) You could even waddle in a circle.

Ooh, look at those penguin waddles.

And freeze.

What do penguins like to eat?

Yeah, they like to eat fish.

I know every time I visit the penguins, it smells like a lot of fish.

Okay, let's be big rabbits next.

We're gonna put up our rabbit paws, and we're gonna hop around like a rabbit.

(spring boinging) You can take little hops or big hops.

What kind of rabbit hops are you making?

And freeze.

Ooh, what do rabbits like to eat?

Hmm... Yeah, they like to eat carrots.

I see rabbits eating carrots all the time!

Okay, now we're gonna get tall and be a nice, tall giraffe.

Reach up tall.

Reach into those giraffe trees, getting all of the vegetables that you can see.

What kind of vegetables do you think a giraffe would eat?

That's right, they probably eat lots of lettuce greens, just like on trees.

Okay, let's bring ourselves back down to the floor.

We're gonna end with our bear crawl.

We're gonna crawl around just like a little bear.

Very nice!

And stand back up tall.

Ooh, I know if I was a bear, I would love to eat a lot of berries.

What about you?

So, as you're going around in your world, see what other kind of animals you could mimic the movements of.

I wonder what you'll see first.

Thanks for joining us here in Movement in Room 9, we'll see you back soon.

Bye, everyone!

- Great day, everybody!

So, I'm Candice with KHAOS, and today we are going to talk about my friend Jen.

And so Jen is short for Jennifer, and Jen is a KHAOS Kid.

And Jen deals with depression.

And so with depression, sometimes Jen feels sad, most of the day or at some point during the day.

And so, you know, when we think about our feelings and we think about sadness, sadness can be like clouds.

You know, they kinda go through the air and they just go and float.

But sometimes those rainy clouds, they can kinda stick around for a while.

And when those clouds come around and they stick around for too long, we gotta say something to somebody, because we have to make sure that we are being the healthiest that we can be.

And just like you would go to a doctor if something was going on with your body, it's absolutely okay for you to handle and deal with your feelings and emotions.

And so if you are feeling sad and you are doing things like you're crying a lot, or sometimes, like, your tummy is hurting and you can't really focus or sleep, or you are thinking bad thoughts, or even thinking about hurting yourself, I need you to make sure that you find a trusted adult.

And so a trusted adult can be a parent or it can be a teacher or it can be anyone in your life that you know and that makes you feel safe and that is good for you to talk to them.

And there's other things that you can do as well.

You can journal or you can color.

I like to color, do you like to color?

You can also do an activity, like you can go running outside or you can go play with friends, you can call someone, or you can watch a cool show on TV or on your tablet.

Any of those things would work.

But anything that you do, if it's not working when you do it on your own, remember, it's absolutely okay for you to reach out to somebody and for you to talk to somebody.

Because when we keep all of those feelings in, and like the clouds, if all of the clouds come and they just are there, it starts raining, and if it rains too much, then it floods.

And so when it floods, it's too much happening and you can't do anything in a flood.

So you wanna make sure that you don't do that to yourself.

So, I want you to remember, whenever you're feeling sad or whenever you have bad thoughts going through your head or if you ever think about hurting yourself or even if you find yourself where you can't eat or you can't take your naps and you just don't feel like you're in a good place, just like Jen, I need you to make sure you go and talk to somebody, okay?

You got this.

Air hugs and cyber kisses.

- Welcome back!

Did you have a wonderful adventure?

Good, good, good Tell me, what was your favorite part of today's adventure in Room 9?

(playful music) Oh, for real?

Oh, that sounds so much fun!

What sound does a cat make?

Meow!

Really?

Okay.

Hmm, let me see, what do you think I'ma draw with the chalk?

Let me see.

(gasps) What do you think I drew?

Close!

I drew, you know what I drew?

I drew our favorite word!

Well, I drew the number for our favorite word.

But I drew the number nine, which is our favorite word!

So let's spell our favorite word.

Nine!

N-I-N-E, nine!

Thank you for being in Room 9!

Bye-bye!
