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

Now, I want you to touch your throat right here and see how they feel.

- We can say to ourselves to be positive.

- Lemurs are found on the island of Madagascar.

- For one, I'm gonna risk it 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 freestyle stroke, so I'm gonna put my arms up and I'm going to- - All righty, are you ready to learn?

Let go!

(upbeat music continues) Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Teaching in Room 9, the region's largest classroom.

Before we get started, let's see everybody get a good stretchin'.

Oh man.

Woo.

Get the muscles working.

I am Dr. Sanders and we are here in our amazing classroom where you can go anywhere and be anything you wanna be.

As we start our journey today, please remember, it doesn't matter if you're two or 102, we'll have some fun, F-U-N, fun.

We will have some fun while learning.

It is time to get started on our journey, but before we get started, what do I need to do?

That's right.

Take off my hat.

Alright, we have three of my friends' names that I'd love to give some shout outs, if that's okay.

Is that okay?

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

My first name is Cory.

Hi, Cory!

How are you doing today?

Excellent, excellent.

And what letter does Cory start with?

Oh, I heard some C. Oh, I heard Ks too.

Actually, Cory, this one starts with a C. Let's spell Cory.

Capital C-O-R-Y.

C-O-R-Y.

Hi, Cory.

My next name is Zari.

Hi Zari.

What sound does Zari make?

What sound does it..?

Oh my goodness.

I can't believe it.

What letter does the sound in Zari's name start with?

(Dr. Sanders buzzing) (Dr. Sanders gasps) Oh, that's right.

It starts with the letter Z.

Let's spell Zari.

Capital Z-A-R-I.

Z-A-R-I.

And my last name is Marlee.

Hi, Marlee.

And what letter does Marlee start with?

A capital M, Marlee.

Marvelous Marlee.

Hi, Marley.

Let's spell Marlee's name.

Capital M-A-R-L-E-E. M-A-R-L-E-E.

It is time.

It is time to get on our journey.

Are you ready to start?

I am too.

So let's go.

- [Children] Yes.

(applauding) (gentle music) - Hi, Glen.

Wow, look at you.

You've got some fancy dress going on here.

And look at your new shoes.

Did you see my new shoes?

They're my clown shoes.

Aren't they amazing?

What?

Oh no, your shoes are great.

Aren't they great?

Oh, they don't have laces?

You wanna learn how to tie your shoes with laces?

Well, I would be happy to help you.

Would you like to learn how to tie your shoes with laces?

I can show you a strategy using bunny ears.

How about that?

Okay, here's my clown shoe I'm going to show you, and you can see I have a dark lace and a white lace, a light lace so that we can keep track of the difference.

Okay, the first thing I'm going to do is cross 'em over, and then I'm going to take the dark lace and cross it underneath.

Then I pull it tight.

Now it's time to make the bunny ears.

I'm gonna take the dark lace and make one bunny ear and the light lace and make the other bunny ear, cross them over, take the light lace up and run it through underneath and pull.

And you have a tied shoe!

Should we try it again?

Let's try.

What do we do first?

Let's cross them over.

Then we take the dark lace and run underneath.

Pull tight.

One bunny ear with a dark lace.

Another bunny ear with a light lace.

Cross them over.

Now I'm gonna make the bunny ear go underneath, come out the other end and pull.

We have a tied shoe.

Tying your shoes is challenging, but if you practice, you can do it.

And there's all kinds of shoes.

So we can wear shoes with laces and shoes without laces, and it's okay.

But if you can tie your shoes, you're ready to go to school.

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

My name is Ms. Knarr, and here we are for our letters and sounds.

Today we're going to focus our learning on segmenting or stretching out the sounds in words.

We're gonna look at the beginning, middle, and ending sounds, and switching out those sounds to make new words in word chains.

All right, let's do the song that we learned before and practice segmenting out sounds.

♪ Segmenting sounds is when you take a word ♪ ♪ Stretch it out so you can hear ♪ ♪ All the sounds you heard Nice job.

I could see some of you remembered that.

Let's go ahead and practice it now.

I'll say a word, you repeat it, then tap the sounds to each of, or each finger to your thumb, and then we'll blend it all together.

Are you ready to try?

All right.

Say the word big.

Nice.

Tap the sounds.

B-I-G.

Blend it.

Big.

Great job.

Now let's take that B, the beginning sound, and switch it to woo.

Let's tap the sounds and see what our new word is.

W-I-G, wig.

Great job.

All right, let's practice another one.

Say the word map.

All right.

Tap the sounds.

M-A-P, map.

Very good.

Now this time we're gonna take that very last sound and switch it from P to T. All right.

Tap those sounds.

M-A-T, mat.

Great job.

Let's practice another one.

Say the word sip.

Tap it out.

S-I-P.

Blend it.

Sip.

Very good.

Now take that middle vowel.

We're gonna switch it from short I-ee to short A-eh.

All right, let's see what's our new word.

Tap it out.

S-A-P, sap.

Very good.

Let's try another one.

Say the word yes.

Tap those sounds.

Y-E-S, yes.

Great job.

This time we're switching out that last sound there from S to T. Tap the sounds.

Y-E-T, yet Wow.

Nice job!

One more.

Say the word job.

J-O-B.

Blend it.

Job.

Way to go.

Now switch out that first sound J to S. That's our new word.

Yeah.

Way to go.

Sob.

Very good, learners.

Alright, we're gonna look at our chart that we have here.

We already kind of looked at some of these space words, stretching them out and looking at the beginning, middle, and ending sounds in words.

Now we're gonna switch 'em out and make some new words.

Let's review.

What was our first one here?

Yeah, it was a moon.

Let's tap those sounds.

M-oo-N.

Blend it.

Moon.

Very good.

Now let's take that beginning sound here, that M, our first one, and switch it from M to S. What our new word be?

Way to go.

Our new word is soon.

Now let's put in a blend.

Let's take that S and put in S-P-oo-N. What would our new word be?

Yeah, very good.

Spoon.

Nice job.

Let's look at the word sun.

Tap those sounds.

S-U-N.

Blend it.

Sun.

Now take that beginning sound one more time.

Switch it out from S to F. what's our new word?

Yeah.

Good job.

Fun.

Now let's stretch our brains even further.

Take that middle short uh and switch it from uh to eh.

What our new word be?

Yeah, it would be the word fin.

Way to go.

Now, let's take our last word down here, that word star and switch that S-T-ar to a B-ar.

What would our new word be?

Yeah, you're really raising the bar.

We've added our word bar here.

Now add the un sound to the end.

What would our word be?

Yeah, tap it out.

B-A-R-N, barn.

Nice job, friends.

You did such a good job.

It's not easy to stretch out those sounds and switch them to make new words, but you did a fantastic job today, learners.

I'm really proud of you.

I'll see you next time.

Bye.

(upbeat music) - Hi everyone and welcome to Room 9.

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

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

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

And let's take a deep breath in as we lift up and out stretching for our toes.

Let's count to five.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and we're gonna slowly bring it back up.

Today we are going to be doing our healthy eating alphabet aerobics.

That means that we're gonna go through a bunch of different mo movement exercises today, and as we go through, we're gonna say our alphabet.

The trick here today is that for each letter of the alphabet, we're gonna come up with one healthy food that starts with the same letter.

Some of them are gonna be a little tricky.

See if you can come up with the same healthy food as me, or even if you can come up with some different options.

For the first few letters, we're gonna start by doing some jumping jacks.

Are you ready to jump with me?

Let's go.

A is for apple, B is for banana, C is for carrots, and D is for dates.

Let's move into some squats.

We're gonna pretend like we're sitting in a chair.

E is for eggs, F is for fish, G is for granola, and H is for hummus.

Let's move into some lunges next.

We're gonna do both sides for each letter.

I is for instant oatmeal, and J is for juice, and K is for hmm, kiwis, and L is for some lentils.

Let's move into some big kicks forward.

M is for mangoes and N is for noodles, and O is for oranges, and P is for potatoes.

Let's move to some pushups.

We're gonna come to the floor.

All right.

Q is for quinoa, R is for radish, S is for spinach, and T is for tofu.

We're gonna flip over onto our back to do a few sit ups.

We're gonna sit up as we say each letter.

U is for uni, and V is for veal, and W is for walnuts.

Now let's move ourself into doing some deep breaths, as we bring our body down from all those aerobic exercises.

Taking a deep breath in, X is for Xigua, and Y is for yogurt, and Z is for zucchini.

We made it all the way through the alphabet, guys!

Did you guys have fun?

Could you come up with some of the same fruits and vegetables as me?

Hmm.

I wonder.

I hope that you guys had fun doing this with us today.

We'll look forward to seeing you back here and teaching in Room 9 as we do a new movement lesson.

Bye, everyone!

(bright music) - Hello.

Now it's time for some fun facts about the hedgehog.

- Yeah, absolutely.

One really nice fun fact is the fact that they are lactose intolerant.

- Oh, what does that mean?

- Well, they just can't have any type of dairy product whatsoever.

They are omnivores, but they do prefer to eat insects.

They love slugs and bugs the best.

They are extremely nocturnal.

They make excellent pets because they're very, very social in nature.

And these quills, they're actually modified hairs.

- Oh, and I see that he jumps around a little bit.

- Yep.

They have a lot of stamina.

These little creatures can run for an extremely long time.

- Thanks for those amazing facts.

Now it's time for us to go back to some learning.

See you in a bit!

- [Children] 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

- Hi there, Room 9.

It's me, Mrs. Williams, the woodland creature teacher.

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

So hi and lots of love to all of my woodland creatures.

Today, we're going to be learning about addition.

So get ready to grow that math brain.

But addition, what does that mean?

Addition is joining together two numbers.

So today we're going to figuring out some different ways that we can join two numbers or two totals together.

So the first strategy we're gonna talk about is drawing a picture.

So I like to use dots.

If I were going to represent a group of five items joining together with four items, I could show 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 dots, and here's my pretty plus sign.

Everybody hold up your two fingers and make your pretty plus.

This is a symbol that means the exact same thing as addition or joining two numbers together.

So here are my five dots with my pretty plus in the middle showing that I'm joining the five together with the four.

So I draw my 1, 2, 3, 4 dots, and my equal sign.

Make your equal sign.

An equal sign is like two lines right on top of each other.

It shows that we're getting ready to show our sum or what the two numbers make join together.

So if I count them up, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

So five plus four equals nine.

Say it with me this time.

Five plus four equals nine.

Thumbs up and a wiggle if you feel like drawing a picture is a good strategy for your brain.

Everybody's brain's different.

So I have a couple more strategies for you to try.

We can make a number sentence or an addition sentence, kind of like we can write sentences with words.

We're gonna use the same example of five plus four equals nine.

We can show it with our groups of race cars here.

Zooming in.

Here's our four, and here are our five.

Here.

So we have five, imagine you're pretty plus, four and your equals sign.

Five plus four equals nine.

You can write all kinds of number sentences.

It doesn't have to be with just these numbers.

And we'll come back to that in a second.

You can also use a strategy of hopping on, or counting on.

We've practiced this before with a number line.

I'm going to add these two numbers together or join them.

We're going to go ahead and start with five because it's the bigger of the two numbers, five, and hop on four more.

Start 1, 2, 3, 4.

So five plus four equals nine.

There are three different strategies for you to try.

We're gonna go ahead and make another number sentence using our cars.

Let's have a couple zoom on outta here so we can make a new sentence.

Go ahead and count these with me.

1, 2, 3, 4.

So I'm gonna put four into my number sentence and I can't forget my pretty plus.

How many more?

One, two.

Now choose the strategy that works best for you to solve this number sentence.

I'm gonna go ahead and hop on, or count on.

I'm gonna start with four and hop on to you more.

Start, one, two.

Did you say that four plus two equals six?

Great job, Room 9, good growing your brain.

Your homework for this week is to choose a few number sentences to make on your own.

Choose cars or marbles or whatever you have handy.

And choose a number sentence strategy that works best for you.

I hope that you had fun and you keep growing your brain.

And I'll see you soon.

Bye!

- Great day, everybody.

This is Candace with Chaos, and today I wanna tell you about my friend Nevaeh.

Nevaeh is the chaos 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 make pictures to send to her grandpa, or she can call her grandpa on a video call from her tablet, or she can write him 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.

- Welcome back!

I hope you had a fantastic journey today in Room 9.

Excuse me?

Oh, you did!

Okay.

Okay.

You did have a fantastic journey.

Tell me about your favorite part.

Oh yes, that was fun.

Man, you all, I'm glad you're enjoying.

You're listening, you're learning.

I was taking a look at my desk.

I have some nice looking stuff, right?

But this really stood out to me.

Does anybody know what this is?

Yes, a cone!

Now in this cone, we are using it as a flower pot.

And if you take a look, look at my pretty flowers.

No, they're not butterflies.

They're flowers.

But they look like butterflies.

I would love to see your flowers.

Yes, but let's talk about this cone.

Let's look at the cone.

The cone.

What color is the cone?

Orange.

Why do you think the color of the cone is orange?

Pretty?

Okay.

It's pretty.

Yes.

I like that orange.

I have some shoes that color.

Okay, you know why it's orange?

It's because for safety so that you can see it.

Can you see this really well?

Yes, I can see it too.

So if you ever see a cone when you walking down the hallway, what should you do?

Pick it up and throw it?

No!

Don't move it outta your way either.

You should stop or you should walk around.

But guess what?

It is time for us to get outta Room 9.

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

What's our favorite word?

Nine, N-I-N-E. Nine.

Thank you for being in Room 9.

Buh-bye.
