(bright upbeat music) - Good morning, boys and girls.

Welcome back to Room Nine.

It is Dr. Sanders in here getting ready for somewhat baseball.

And knows (indistinct), but no, I am here in the largest classroom in the region to teach some ELA and math to the best pre-K and K and one and two and three and four and five and six and seven year olds around the St. Louis region and beyond.

Oh, man, I forgot what I was going to say.

Oh, I know I work at Adams Elementary and St. Louis public schools.

And remember what I always say, it doesn't matter if you're two or 102 you can have some fun.

F-U-N, fun.

So let's get started on this fun Thursday, Thursday.

And remember tomorrow you can watch some science with our amazing pre-K teacher who's teaching science is amazing.

All the stuff that she does.

Whew, I have some fun and I learn about that science.

All right, let's take a look at our objectives for today.

Students will in ELA, understand problem and solution or just work with problems and solution.

And identified the penny, the nickles, the dimes and a quarter.

Sit right down on the ground, on the floor, on the chair.

It doesn't matter where.

All right, we've been talking about some amazing women.

We're gonna read a book today about Amelia Earhart, Amelia Earhart.

She was a famous pilot and let's find out what she did, okay?

And as you're listening to the story, I want you to think about what was important for Amelia.

What was so important about Amelia Earhart?

What was so important about Amelia Earhart?

And if she had any problems in here and what was her solution?

A lot of times women have...

The problems women have is that men didn't believe that they could do it.

Yeah, a man like me, no, I believe, nevermind.

I believe women can do whatever.

But men did not believe that women can do amazing things but they can't and they will and they always do.

And so that was always the problem.

So women had to show them that we are just as capable as men.

And so that's what we're celebrating our women.

Two hands up, two pumps for the women, go.

One, two.

All right, Amelia Earhart by Mary Nhin.

She's the author.

What does the author do?

Writes the words in the story.

And then illustrator, the pictures are by Yuliia Zolotova.

And what does the illustrator do?

The illustrator draws the pictures.

Remember answering the sentence.

This is the back cover.

So you're finishing my sentence now.

This is the front cover.

This is the spine.

And if you didn't have a spine, what would you look like?

All right, all right, here we go.

And we are reading this big book.

We are reading this book with permission from Grow Grit Press LLC.

Grow Grit Press LLC, Amelia Earhart.

And this is the title page.

Here we go.

Hi, I'm Amelia Earhart.

Well, not me, but she is.

I didn't have a very traditional childhood.

In my day, little girls were supposed to wear dresses and behave nicely.

But my mother believes strongly in gender equality.

This dress might be a better option.

Ma, I like these overalls.

Yes, I liked those on you too, Amelia.

She dressed us in pants instead of skirts.

She let us climb trees and catch frogs as we pleased.

I even built a little ramp on the shed roof and slid down it in a box.

I got a lot of bruises, but to me, that was exciting.

It was my first taste of flying.

What is she doing?

Oh, you know, she's just doing what little girls do.

When I was old enough, I saved up for flying lessons by working, but it wasn't easy.

Hi, are you hiring?

Yes, we are.

But we're looking for boys.

Hi, are you hiring?

Sorry, we're not hiring girls.

I arrived at the airfield for training and I saw how few women there were.

I was taught that you get in life what you have the courage to ask for.

I knew I was being judged for my feminine appearance.

So I distressed my flying jacket to make me look more experienced.

I cut my hair short too.

Oh, wow, look, a girl.

When I finally finished my training, I was only the 16th woman in the US to ever have attained a pilot's license.

Can you believe it?

She's a girl and she can fly.

And she's so young.

My pioneering story almost ended there when I suffered from ill health.

When I ran out of money, I had to sell my plane.

I even had to cancel my plans of going to a university because I simply couldn't afford it.

That's too bad.

She was a good pilot.

People thought I had failed.

I knew in my heart that if I wanted something I had to work hard to get it.

I began writing for papers and magazines to encourage more women to fly.

This is how I earned a living as a writer and could afford to keep flying.

So she got well, she wasn't sick anymore.

And she had to keep making money by writing.

'Cause she wanted to keep flying even though she sold her plane.

I worked hard to get there.

I couldn't just give up.

Even when no one else believed, I had to believe in myself.

Women must try to do things as men have tried.

When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others.

I set my sights on the unknown wanting to be one of the best pilots in history.

I attempted dangerous feats, never done before.

Never do things others can do and will do if there are things others cannot do or will not do.

Read that again.

Never do things others can do and will do if there are things others cannot do or will not do.

I was the first woman to fly alone across the Atlantic ocean, very big ocean.

And I set lots of world records throughout my career.

I inspire many women in the US to achieve their dreams of flying just like I did.

People had told me that I would fail, but I wasn't afraid to try.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

So Amelia, even though she was a woman in a man dominated field, that was her problem, right?

She set her eyes to do something and she was the first woman to travel alone to fly a plane across the Atlantic ocean.

So she was an amazing, and again, another amazing woman.

Women are amazing.

All right, here we go.

Boys and girls, I have my letters.

I'm gonna give you a word you tell me the sound that you hear.

Are you ready?

Say, I'm ready.

Here we go.

The word is flex.

Flex, what word do you hear at the end?

Flex, everybody flex their muscle.

Let me see your big muscles.

You know your muscles get bigger if you eat vegetables?

Yes, eat your vegetables.

Flex, what letter do you hear at the end?

X, you are right.

You are right.

Jog, jog, jog.

What letter do you hear at the end?

Jog.

You heard a good sound, and G makes that sound.

You are right.

If you eat your vegetables and jog, you stay in great shape, all right?

Fit, fit, fit.

What letter do you hear at the beginning of fit?

Yes, the sound is F and F makes that sound.

If you jog and eat all of your vegetables, you become fit.

You're gonna... All right, and zoom, zoom.

What letter do you at the beginning of zoom?

What sound do you hear, zoom?

A, Z?

Yes, Z.

You hear the sound Z.

And what letter makes a Z sound?

A Z, you are correct?

Everybody say Z.

If you zoom, you can run fast.

With zooming you can get fit.

When you eat your vegetables and you can jot.

And my last word is, sit, sit.

What letter do you hear in the middle of sit?

Sit, sit.

What sound do you hear in the middle?

It, yes.

I, you hear the I sound.

Sit, sit, sit.

It makes the I sound.

All right, boys and girls.

You know what?

Let's read some of our words.

Let's read our words.

Let's read our words.

It's time to read our words.

Here we go.

Oh, my goodness, away.

Away, big, came, down, eat, E-A-T, eat.

Eat your fruits and vegetables.

Funny, good, help, into, just, J-U-S-T, just eat your fruits and vegetables.

Know, let, must, now, old.

Let's spell must.

Must, M-U-S-T, must.

You must eat.

You must just eat your fruit and vegetables.

Pretty, quit, ride, soon, think.

I think you must eat your fruit and vegetables.

Under, very, who, X-ray, your, zip.

Zip, zip, zip, zip, zip, zip, zip.

All right, boys and girls, but I didn't hear you.

You are a very good person when you just eat your fruit and vegetables all the time.

All the time.

Remember, all right, it's that time, boys and girls.

But before we get finished, before we get finished let's get some bubbles up here.

All right, boy and girls let's spell nine.

N-I-N-E, nine.

Thank you, Room Nine, bye bye.
