And it's Dr. Sanders and I am here to work with some ELA and math with all of my pre-K and K students.
But remember what I always say?
You tell me.
Fun!
That is right, fun!
"F", "U", "N," fun!
We will have some fun!
And I work at Adams Elementary.
Remember, I want you to think about ways you can learn more about all the things that we're talking about.
PBS kids.org has a lot of information about the different programs, PBS kids.org, that we can work with.
I was trying to think of those two guys.
Wild Kratts!
Wild Kratts!
If you look up that, man.
It'll tell you some information about rainforest animals.
So rainforests, just animals in general but you're probably gonna learn some about...
So just look them up and I'm sure you'll, you'll see some good stuff.
But also remember to visit ninepbs.org, PBSlearningmedia.org, and PBS kids.org.
Here we go!
It's time to get started.
Let's take off my hat!
Let's look at our objectives for the week.
In ELA still, we're still doing "Identify the topics and details and expository texts that is heard or read to them."
And math:"Students will understand the relationship between, between numbers and counting and cardinality, slash cardinality."
So let's get started with some counting!
We're going to count by twos to one hundred!
Remember help me out.

Now we're gonna use... We're gonna count backwards from ten.
Put you're hands in the air.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one...
Blast off!
Fly over the rainforest!
All right!
We're gonna talk about, about some numbers and we're going to talk about counting.
Okay?
So what we are going to do is take a look at the white board and we're going to look at our magnets over here.
We're going to looking at magnets over here.
Let's start with the purple magnets.
We're going to count them.
Now.
I want to tell you.
I want you to tell me how many we had.
So let's start let's count.
One, two, three, four.
How many did we have?
Four!
We can write the number, what?
Four.
All right.
Can you show me four?
Yes, four.
Four plus zero, or two plus two, or three plus one.
All right.
Let's count the blue ones.
Which ones are these the blue?
No!
Yes, let's count the blue ones.
I want to hear you, count.
Go ahead.
How many do we have?
Eight, yes you!
We had eight.
We'll make the eight in our rainforests.
We had eight.
We had eight blue magnets.
And when you can say the last number you said, "Oh that's cardinal!"
You basically say, "Okay.
One, two, three, four.
Okay.
Four."
I don't have to count them again, do I?
I can just say one, two, three, four.
How many do you have?
One, two, three, four.
I'll just say, "Oh, I have four!"
All right, let's count the yellow ones now.
We'll count together.
Okay.
Let's count together.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
How many yellow ones do we have?
Six.
Right?
Did you have to count them again or did you just say it?
You probably could've just said it, right?
Six!
We have six yellow magnets.
One, two, three, four, five, six yellow magnets.
You are correct.
Which one is more?
Right, the eight.
Yes.
Oh, I know what I forgot.
Can you show me six on your, can you show me six?
(Dr Sanders mumbles) One, two, three four five.
(Spoken) Six.
Five plus one is six.
Or six plus zero is six.
Any number plus zero is that number.
So a hundred plus zero is what?
One hundred.
A thousand plus zero is what?
One thousand!
A million plus zero is what?
One million!
But six plus zero six.
A three plus three is six?
Yes.
(Dr. Sanders mumbles) Three, One, two, three, four, five?
(Spoken) Yeah.
Three plus three is six.
All right.
Okay.
Seven minus, one?
We were adding, but you're right.
If you had seven and you take away one, You do get, you do get six.
Good work!
Good work.
Alright.
You been sitting there a long time.
Please stand up!
Jump up and down ten times.
Go!
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!
Nod your head five times, go!
One, two, three, four, five.
Make it rain!
Here we go!
(makes noise similar to a rain shower) Three times, no four times!
(makes noise similar to a rain shower three more times) Thunder... (drums desk to imitate rain shower) ...for seven.
(desk drumming crescendos) Lightning, AHH!
Hit the wave for seven, go!
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
Baseball away for three, go!

Let's sit down on... four!
One, two, three, four.
♪ Up, down, up, down, ♪ Sit right down on the ground ♪ or on the floor ♪ in your seat, or your chair or on the couch.
♪ But don't jump on the couch and get stuff on it or you'll get in trouble.

There are "two" red eye tree frogs in the rainforest.
Let's spell two.
Two, "T", "W", "O", two.
What word is this?
Five.
I saw "five" anacondas in the rainforest.
Five.
Let's spell five.
Five: one, two, three... One, two, three, four.
"F", "I", "V", "E" five .
What word is this?
"And."
Let's spell "and."
And, "A", "N", "D", and.
I am happy "and" sad at the same time.
I am happy that we are...
I am happy.
I'm going to show you a picture of an animal in the rain, that can be found in the rainforest.
That I got to take a picture with, that me "and" the Adhara got to take a picture with.
Can you name that animal?
What is that animal?
It is a (said slowly) sloth.
And a sloth moves very, what?
(said slowly) Slowly.
But we got to handle, or, we got to hold a sloth.
Isn't he so cute.
Aww!
But he moves (said slowly) very slowly.
All right!
Just wanted to share those.
Let's talk about the rain forest.
The rainforest is very, very important around the world.
We get, it allows us to breathe.
It we breathe most, most of our oxygen comes from different rainforests, especially the tropical rainforests.
There are different types of rainforest but this week we've been talking about the tropical rainforest.
So it is important that we save the rainforest.
A lot of times people, a lot of people cut down the rain forest, either for farm land or for wood.
And so what, I would like you to do is take a look at what happens.
What happens when the rainforest gets cut down.
Hello, everyone.
This is, like, a tree in the rainforest.
Nice and beautiful.
You may see a couple of birds flying around.
You see how nice and beautiful it is.
The trees are growing well.
Then when people cut the trees down, this is what happens.
You have just little land, they cut the trees down.
And can you plant anything right there?
I don't know about that.
People are cutting trees down to get wood, for the nice wood that's around there.
And then you use the wood for fireplaces.
They use the wood to build things.
They may even use wood to build porches or decks.
It is important that we try to save the rainforest and take care of it because it helps us.
It helps us breathe.
So it's important that we try to save the rainforest.
All right.
So you see what, what happens when we we were not able to save the rainforests?
Now, that wasn't really the rainforest.
That was actually my backyard but that's what happens when we don't save the rain forest it just gets cut down and get used for wood, which is good sometimes, but when you use too much, we just don't have enough, right?
In the rainforest.
And it takes the...we may not breathe very well.
So it is important that we save the rain forest.
So I had this game, I have this game, and it's called, "Save the Rainforest."
Me and Adhara are gonna play this game and we're going to try to save the rain forest.
All right.
So let's watch me and the Adhara as we play this game.
Now, I'm going to tell you the rules of the game but before I tell you the rules of the game or the object of the game.
I want you to, let's name our four layers of the rainforest.
You remember, here we go.
Emergent, canopy, understory, forest floor.
Emergent, canopy, understory, fourth floor.
Now the objective of this game is to rebuild the rain forest, rebuild the rain forest.
Before we, before we tear it down.
So there, in our bag, there are layers of the rain forest.
We have the emergent layer.
Then we have the canopy.
Then we have the understory.
And then we have the forest floor.
And so the object of the game, and we have this.
Which is a, what?
Chainsaw.
The object of the game is to us to rebuild the rainforest before we pull the chainsaw.
'Cause the saw cuts down the forest, all right?
So me and Adhara are gonna play this game and see if we can rebuild the rainforest, so we can help save the rainforest.
All right.
Now we're going to start playing the game.
Adhara, I should've said Adhara I instead of me and Adhara.
I should've said Adhara and I.
Well, we're ready to play the game.
I will let Adhara go first, and she is going to choose out of the bag.
And, she chose the...Ooh!
What did she choose?
The forest floor.
All right, it's my turn.
Let me go to the bag!
Ooh!
I have the, what?
Understory!
So I'm going to connect the understory with our forest floor.
Okay, it's Adhara's turn.
She's in the bag and she chose... she chose the chainsaw.
So what do you have to do?
Cut down the (Dr. Sanders úimitates chain saw sound) rainforest.
We'll have to start again.
Let's try again and see if me and Adhara can build the rainforest.
Let's see if we can build the rainforest.
I'll start this time in my bag.
And a, I choose the?
I choose the canopy.
All right it's Adhara's turn.
Let's see what she's going to choose.
- [Adhara] Understory!
- [Dr. Sanders] Ooh.
The understory.
Okay, my turn.
Let's see.
(bag rustles) Ooh what one is that?
Emergent!
All right, let's see.
We got the emergent, canopy, understory.
All right.
What do we need?
We need the, what?
Forrest floor.
Adhara chose the forest floor!
Yes we did it.
Give us two claps!
(Dr Sanders and Adhara clap twice) Give us four claps!
(Dr Sanders and Adhara clap four times) So we made our rain forest before we cut it down, before it was cut down.
So we saved that rainforest!
You should try to save your rainforest.
And, let me see some of your beautiful pictures that you are going to share.
You can send rain report to #ninePBS but you can play this game too!
You want me and Adhara to play it again?
No, okay?
One more time, one more time.
Let's see if we can build it one more time.
All right here we go!
(bag shuffles) All right, Adhara's gonna go first.
She has the... - [Adhara] Canopy!
- [Dr. Sanders] Canopy!
My turn let's see.
(Dr. Sanders mimics sad trombone sound) (Dr. Sanders mimics chainsaw sound) I had to cut down the, I didn't build it!
But you can try this game at home, also.
All right!
All right.
We have some more animals that we would like to put into our, into the correct layer in the, on our rain forest.
This.
Anybody know what this is?
This is a Harpy Eagle, a Harpy Eagle.
What do you think the Harpy Eagle, what layer of the rain forest?
Emergent, all the way at the top.
And what about the, what about... Ooh, what's that?
A toucan!
And where would the toucan be found?
In the canopy.
And we'll put him right here in the canopy.
And we have one more.
What is that?
A gorilla.
And this is found in the rain forest in Africa.
Where would the gorilla be found?
On the forest floor.
Yes, it on the forest floor.
You are right!
We talked so much about the rainforest.
I hope you enjoyed learning about the rainforest.
What we are gonna to do now is, how many are, we going to read this book.
It has nothing to do with the rainforest, but how many of you all ever have ever been, have ever had a box?
