(upbeat music continues) (gentle music) Ohohohoho, oops.

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

I am Dr. Sanders.

And we are in a very amazing classroom, where you can go anywhere and be anything you would like.

Please remember, as we enter our classroom, 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.

As we get our day started, I have to take off my hat and look at my beautiful hair.

As we get our day started, let's spell some of my friends' names.

All of you are my friends, but we have some special names to spell today.

You ready?

Okay, our first name is Zyaa.

Hi, Zyaa!

Zyaa.

Zyaa.

What letter does the Zyaa name start with?

- [Children] Z.

- Z, yes.

Zyaa.

Let's spell Zyaa.

Capital Z-Y-A-A, Z-Y-A-A.

My next name, guess what?

It also starts with a Z, Zuri.

Hi, Zuri!

Let's spell Zuri's name.

Z-U-R-I, Z-U-R-I.

Hi, Zuri!

And my last name today, no, it doesn't start with a Z.

It starts with a L. Yes, Leah.

Hi, Leah!

How you doing today?

Oh, that's good.

That's good.

Are you having a great day?

Me too.

I'm having an excellent day, and I just can't wait to get into our adventure today.

But let's spell Leah.

Capital L-E-A-H, L-E-A-H. Hi, Leah!

I wonder, do you know what letter is this right here?

N, yes, yes.

Alrighty, are you ready to go on an adventure with me?

- [Children] Yes.

- All right, let's do this.

Let's go!

- [Children] Yes.

(children applauding) (gentle music) - Glen, what's happening?

Is there a party?

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪ Happy birthday to who No, it not you.

No, not me either.

Glen, do you know when your birthday is?

Oh, okay.

Would you like some help remembering your birthday?

I bet some of our friends might need help remembering their birthdays too.

Should we try it?

Okay.

(blows) Your birthday is the day that you were born.

It has three parts to it, the month, the day, and the year.

Let's first start with the month.

Here is my calendar that shows all the months of the year, starting in January and ending in December.

Hey, Glen, when was the month that you were born?

Oh, June.

Okay.

January, February, March, April, May, June.

Glen was born in June.

That's the first part of his birthday.

Let's look at the second part.

The second part of your birthday is the day of the month you were born.

I need my month of June calendar to show the day.

Thank you.

Glen, what was the day in June you were born?

Oh, the seventh.

Okay.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

Glen was born on June 7th.

Great job!

The last part is the year that you were born.

And, Glen, I think your mom told me that you were born in 2020.

Is that right?

Okay, so that's right.

So, Glen was born June 7th, 2020.

That's his birthday.

Now, you try it.

What's the month?

Uh-huh, and the day?

Great job!

And the year?

Fantastic!

Glen knows his birthday, and you know your birthday too.

So, now you are ready to go to school.

(gentle music) - [Children] 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

- Hey there, everyone, welcome back to "Teaching in Room 9."

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

Today I'm gonna teach you guys some math, and we're gonna learn all about money and how to count money.

Are you guys ready for that?

Okay, great.

I'm ready too.

So, let's pretend like we're at the store.

We're with our family, we're with mom, dad, granny, auntie, someone who can buy something.

We're at the store and we see some chocolate bars, and we want a chocolate bar so bad, and we've been such a great kid.

So, we ask them, "Can we have a chocolate bar?"

And they say, "Of course, you can.

You're amazing!"

They pick up the chocolate bar, they go to the cash register, they give something to that store person.

There's a bunch of coins.

It's weird.

There's a circular.

They're circular, they're silver, they're brown.

They give it to the cash person and they give you your chocolate bar.

And you're wondering, "Well, I'm very happy I have a chocolate bar, but what were those things called?"

Well, they were called, like I said, coins.

Coins help us pay for things that we would want or need.

We're gonna learn about four different types of coins today.

Okay, guys, let's get started.

Our first coin is this one right here.

It's small, brown, circular, and this one is called a penny.

Everyone at home say penny?

Good.

That's a penny.

A penny is worth only 1 cent.

1 cent.

And here right here, we have a sign, a C with the line through.

That's called a cent sign.

That's what we use to measure coins and change.

Okay, so our first coin is done, now, let's go over to our next coin.

This guy right here is a little bit bigger, not much, but now it's not brown anymore.

It's silver.

Can you take a look at that and say nickel at home?

Yes.

And this coin is called a nickel, and a nickel is worth a little bit more.

Each time you see a nickel, it's worth 5 cents.

We have two coins so far, our penny and our nickel.

Let's move on to our next coin.

You guys ready?

All right, this one right here at the top is super small.

It's smaller than the nickel, smaller, a little bit smaller than the penny.

It's called a dime, but just 'cause it's small doesn't mean it's not worth a lot.

It's worth 10 cents.

So, even one of them is worth more than both a penny and a nickel.

That's a lot.

So, every time you see our dime, you'll know it's worth 10 cents each, okay?

Okay, I have one more coin to show you guys today, and that's all over here.

Bigger, biggest coin we have up here.

Thickest coin we have up here.

This one is called a quarter.

A quarter is worth, wait for it, 25 cents.

That's a ton of money.

Oh my goodness!

Every time you see this quarter, you know you have 25 cents.

That's insane!

Oh, wow!

So, I know each coin now.

Penny, the brown one that we have, is worth 1 cent.

Very good.

Our nickel is worth 5 cents.

Awesome.

Our dime was worth 10 cents.

And the biggest one we have, our quarter was worth 25 cents.

Okay, guys, now that we know how to name these coins, we can probably count them now too.

So, when we get some money from mom, dad, tooth fairy, whoever, we can use that money and go buy something at the store, all right?

So, let's start with our first group over here.

Guys, see these right here?

Can anybody remember what these brown coins were called?

Yes, they're called pennies.

We have a group of pennies right here.

We're gonna count them.

But remember, the penny was worth 1 cent each.

So, we have to count each one by 1 cent.

You guys ready to count?

All right, great.

Let's count them.

1 cent, 2 cents, 3 cents, 4 cents, 5 cents.

We have a total of 5 cents.

Wow, that's not bad.

We could probably buy a little bit of something with that.

All right, cool.

Let's move on to our next group.

Look at these four coins.

Oh, can you guys remember what these coins were called?

Yes, these coins were called nickels.

And don't forget that nickels are worth 5 cents each.

So, when we count them up, we have to count them by, who knows?

Yes, by 5 cents.

Remember, before, we had to count by one, but now we have to count them by fives because they're each worth 5 cents.

You guys ready to count?

All right, let's do it.

5, 10 cents, 15 cents, 20 cents.

Oh my goodness, we have 20 cents.

Our four nickels, we're worth 20 cents.

Whoa, that's a lot.

Well, that's a lot of money, but we have one more set to count.

Are you guys ready to look at the last one?

All right, let's do it.

We're gonna go right here and look at those coins.

Who remembers what our tiny little coins were called?

Tiny, but packed a punch.

Yes, they're called dimes.

And don't forget that dimes are worth 10 cents each.

So, when we count these, what are we gonna count by?

Yes, tens.

We have skip count by tens each time we count these dimes.

Are you guys ready to do that?

All right, let's do it.

Here we go.

10 cents, 20 cents, 30 cents, 40 cents, 50 cents.

Oh my goodness!

Our five dimes were worth 50 cents.

Wow!

So, when you get your tooth fair money, a tooth comes out, your mom just says, "You're doing amazing.

Here's some money for you," you know how to identify pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters to go to the store and buy whatever you need to.

That's all I have for you guys today.

I can't wait to see you next time.

This is Ms. Williams signing out.

Bye.

(gentle music) - Hello, everybody.

You know what time it's.

It's time for some movement.

Everybody please stand up.

But before we jump, like we usually do, make sure you have some water with you.

Water is so important.

All right, everybody, jump up and down 10 times.

Go.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

All right, everybody, put your arms out.

We're gonna do arm circles forward for six.

Let's go.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Arm circles backwards for seven.

Let's go.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

Do some big arm circles forward.

Big arm circles forward for five.

Let's go.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Arm circles backwards for five.

Let's go.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Oh, how many of you know how to skip?

Okay, let me see some skipping for five.

Let's go.

It's so hard for Dr. Sanders to skip.

You're doing some good skipping.

All right, you can skip, but can you gallop?

Oh, okay.

Let's gallop for seven.

Let's go.

(upbeat music) You are some good cowboys, or horses.

Whatever you are, it doesn't matter.

All right, everybody, what I just want you to do, take a deep breath in and out.

And 10 jumping jacks.

You ready for your jumping jacks?

Here we go.

Let's go 10.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

Woo!

You had a great workout, but now let's sit down on three.

1, 2, 3.

♪ Up, down, up, down ♪ Sit right down on the ground ♪ Or on the floor, on the couch ♪ But please, don't jump on the couch!

I'll see you in a bit.

- [Children] A, B, C, D, E, F, G. - Welcome back learners to "Teaching in Room 9," our region's largest classroom.

My name is Ms. Knarr, and we are back for our song time.

Today, our song is gonna focus our learning on letter sounds, especially those beginning sounds in words.

See if as we're singing along, you can pick up on some of those sounds, or try to jump in if you can.

All right, are you ready?

♪ Listen up, friends, it is time to hear ♪ ♪ The sounds of letters are so very clear ♪ ♪ What's the sound that begins the word ♪ ♪ Let's listen close ♪ Let's not absurd ♪ Beginning sounds were on the quest ♪ ♪ To find the sounds and words are very best ♪ ♪ With phonics skills, we are on the rise ♪ ♪ Identifying sounds also wise ♪ Apple starts with a, can you tell?

Nicely done, friends.

You were really singing along and trying to jump in with me when you could.

What were some of the sounds that you heard as we were singing along at the beginning of some of those words?

Shout 'em out nice and loud if you think you know.

Very good.

Yes.

I heard some friends say a started at the beginning of the word apple.

Did you hear the other one in there too?

Yeah, butterfly, also started with that b sound.

I wonder what other ones you can think of too.

I challenge you to try to think of some of these at home.

Thank you for singing along with me, friends.

Kiss your brains.

Muah!

I'll see you next time.

Bye.

(gentle music) (rooster crowing) - Welcome back!

Look who we have with us today, Mr. Bare Hands Beran.

How are you doing today, sir?

- We are doing great.

And we brought Sully into the classroom this morning.

- Sully.

Look at Sully.

Tell me about Sully.

- Well, Sully is a tortoise, which means he likes to be on the land.

- He likes to be on the land, okay.

Is he fast?

- Not fast at all.

- [Dr. Sanders] Not- - But he's very consistent.

- Okay.

Very consistent.

I bet he's faster than you.

- No.

- [Dr. Sanders] No?

- [Bare Hands Beran] He's not faster than me.

- Okay.

- So, he can run about two to three miles an hour.

- Okay, okay.

- On a good day.

- That's, I can beat him.

I can beat him too.

- Tell me about, tell me this, you said it was hard, so tell me about his shell.

- Yeah, so this is what we call a carapace, this part of the shell right here.

And these little designs right here called scoots.

And each one of these scoots in this whole carapace is an actual living tissue.

- Oh, wow.

Living, it's a living tissue.

So, does that mean it grows?

- It does grow.

As a matter of fact, you see these little rings on here, those are growth rings.

And Sully can feel really good through this.

- [Dr. Sanders] Oh.

- [Bare Hands Beran] As a matter of fact, he likes to be scratched with a brush.

- Oh, wow.

So, how old is Sully?

- Sully is a rescue, but we suspect that he's about six to seven years old.

- Six to seven.

So, when he gets 20, will he be the size of this table, or will he still be this size?

- No, this is actually quite small for a sulcata tortoise.

By the time he's 60, he'll be bigger than this table.

- Oh, wow.

Okay, that means he has to eat a lot.

So, can you tell me what Sully likes to eat?

- So, Sully is an herbivore.

- Herbivore.

Herbivore.

Let me remember.

Does that mean he eats plants?

- He loves to eat his plants and vegetables, and he loves a lot of vegetables.

- Be like Sully boys and girls, eat your vegetables.

- Yep.

He especially likes things that are green, but anything that's yellow, like dandelion, he loves that.

- Oh, okay.

- I heard he was a, let me think.

Help me out.

Is he a mammal?

- No.

- Oh, what's the other word?

Is he a reptile?

- He is a reptile.

And you can tell because he's got all these scales.

He's quite scaly.

If you look on his feet and on his thighs, he's got these spurs.

- Oh.

- Uh-huh.

And he's cold-blooded.

Cold-blooded.

Okay, can you explain that one to me?

Well, it basically means he cannot generate his own body heat.

So, he is always the temperature of his environment.

- Oh, okay.

I see he's moving.

He's not moving that fast.

Where can we find Sully?

- So, Sully comes from the savanna areas of Northern Africa.

- Okay.

Africa.

That's one of the seven continents.

- That's right.

- It's one of the seven continents.

- [Bare Hands Beran] That's right.

- So, can we find him in Missouri?

- In a pet store.

- In a pet store.

Oh, okay.

- You won't find Sully.

It gets way too cold in Missouri.

Sully likes it a minimum of 65 degrees, but he prefers it to be about 85 to 100.

- Okay.

Okay.

- So, he likes it hot.

- And Sully, he keeps sticking his head in and out, in and out.

Just tell me, why does he do that?

- So, in Northern Africa, there's a lot of things out there that would love to eat Sully.

And so he does have a really good defense mechanism.

This is his home defense system.

As a matter of fact, when he feels threatened, watch what happens with these.

You see these big front armored legs, watch what happens when he pulls them in.

- [Dr. Sanders] Oh, he tucks himself in.

- [Bare Hands Beran] And so if something was trying to eat him, they would not be able to get that armor.

- [Dr. Sanders] Man, that's amazing.

He can protect himself.

- [Bare Hands Beran] Uh-huh.

- Okay.

And then he sneaks back out?

- [Bare Hands Beran] Sully, yeah.

Well, Sully's pretty nice.

He likes people.

- [Dr. Sanders] So, he does like people.

Can I see how heavy he is?

- [Bare Hands Beran] Sure you can.

- Oh, I can see he's getting a little heavy.

He's getting a little heavy.

Now, does Sully make a good pet?

- You know, actually, sulcata tortoises do make good pets.

They're fairly easy to take care of.

They're hearty, and they love to eat a lot of vegetables.

- All right.

Well, Mr. Bare Hands, thank you very much again for coming and bringing Sully, and we'll see you in a bit.

(transition popping) - Great day, everybody.

This is Candice with KHAOS.

And today, I wanna tell you about my friend Nevaeh.

Nevaeh's, the KHAOS Kid, and she is absolutely amazing.

But Nevaeh kind of struggles with some things because she's been through a lot of stuff.

Nevaeh's had a lot of things happen to her in her life that haven't been that good.

She's had people call her a bad name.

She's had people hit her.

She's lost a lot of people.

Different people have kind of just left her life.

And so sometimes Nevaeh has a hard time dealing with all of those feelings and emotions that come with that.

Do you ever have a hard time dealing with your feelings and emotions?

I know that I do.

And so one big emotion that she has a hard time with is the fact that she's sad sometime because she misses her grandpa.

And so her grandpa moved away.

And when her grandpa moved away, it made her really, really, really sad because she used to spend time with her grandpa every day.

They would eat ice cream together.

They had their favorite TV show.

They would go places and do things, and they just hung out.

And that was just her favorite person.

Do you have a favorite person?

And so because her favorite person has moved away, she's really sad.

And so sometimes when she goes to school, she's sad and she cries, or she doesn't really pay attention because she's thinking about things that she would do with her grandpa.

Or sometimes when she's at home, she's having a hard time, she's not really listening, and sometimes she gets in trouble because she's not doing what her parents are telling her to do because she's wanting to see her grandpa.

And so Nevaeh had to learn how to do different things when she's missing someone.

Because it's absolutely okay for you to miss people.

That's absolutely normal.

And your feelings are your feelings, and they're yours to have.

But it's what you do with those feelings that can cause a positive or negative consequence.

And so because of that, Nevaeh had to learn how to do different things to address when she's missing her grandpa.

And so Nevaeh learned that she can, she can make pictures to send to her grandpa, or she can call her grandpa on a video call from her tablet, or she can write 'em a letter, or she can ask her mom, "Can we go visit grandpa and go see him maybe on spring break?"

or different things like that.

And so she also learned that it's okay for her to cry and it's okay for her to be sad, but when those feelings, they stay around for a long time, you gotta do something about it.

So, Nevaeh learned how to talk about it.

She learned how to let a trusted adult, like her parents or her teacher, or another aunt or uncle.

She learned to let them know, "I'm feeling sad.

I'm missing my grandpa."

And they give her space to talk about it.

So, when you're feeling sad and you're missing someone, know that you can write them, you can draw pictures, you can do all of those things.

And if that's not working, you can talk to somebody about it because it's absolutely okay, all right?

You got this.

Air hugs and cyber kisses.

(transition clicks) - Welcome back!

Did you have an amazing day of learning?

You did?

Ooh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Can you tell me some things you learned about today?

Yeah.

Okay.

(upbeat music) Ooh, you better make sure you share that with some of your friends.

You should 'cause I know if you had fun, they would have fun too.

Hm, guess what?

I have something for you, boys and girls.

If you look in this classroom, I see something and I wonder if you can see it too.

Can you all see a globe?

A globe?

Yeah, it's a spherical shape.

Yes, like a circle.

Can you see it?

Hm?

I think I see it.

Yes.

Yes, it is there.

You see it?

That's where we live.

The globe is a representation of Earth, and we live on Earth.

You're right.

Do you live on Earth?

You live on Mars?

What?

Maybe in the future you'll go to Mars.

Whoa.

You live on a Sun?

No, you can't live on a Sun.

It's too what?

It's too hot!

But you know what, boys and girls, it is time.

It is time for us to get out teaching in Room 9.

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

And what is that?

Nine!

Let's spell nine.

N-I-N-E, nine.

Thank you for being in Room 9.

Bye-bye.
