[upbeat music] - Hi friends.
My name is Meghan, and I am a teaching artist with New York City Children's Theater.
I am going to be reading a book with you today all about the seasons.
We're going to be playing some games and using our imaginations and our bodies.
"Skip Through the Seasons" by Stella Blackstone, and illustrated by Maria Carluccio.
The illustrator is the person who draws and makes the pictures.
Now, this is a special book because this is called a seek-and-find book.
That means that on every page, we are going to try to find and discover different objects and images.
Are you ready?
Before we start, please know that you can do this sitting down or standing up and there are no materials necessary.
All right, let's go.
"Skip Through the Seasons."
Jump into January, come along with me.
The local pond is glazed with ice.
Glazed means a long shiny layer over the pond.
What can you see in this picture?
Now, there are some words for us to seek and find.
One of those words is a chimney.
A chimney is typically made of brick, and it comes out of a roof.
Can you find the chimney?
Can you find the teddy bear?
This one's pretty hard.
Oh, our friend has it right there.
What's next?
Fly into February.
Come along with me.
The hillside glistens, which means it sparkles, white with snow.
What can you see?
Can you find the carrot?
Oh, it's on the snow person.
Can you find the toboggan?
A toboggan is a special kind of sled.
Oh.
Whirl into March.
Whirl means to spin around and around and around.
Let's all whirl together.
[imitates air whooshing] You're whirling like the wind.
Come along with me.
The wind is whistling down the streets.
What can you see?
Can you see the truck?
Can you see the kite?
Can you see the Frisbee?
A Frisbee is like a large, flat disc that you can throw and play catch with.
Ooh, look there it is.
Splash into April.
Come along with me.
The first spring rains are sweet and warm.
What can you see?
Can you see the umbrellas?
There are a lot of umbrellas.
One, two, three, four, five!
Can you see the cat?
Hmm.
The cat is hiding behind the umbrella.
Meow!
Can you see the drain pipe?
A drain pipe connects to a gutter or a roof, and it takes the water from the roof and brings it out so the water does not get into the house.
There's the drain pipe.
[imitates water gushing] Move into May.
Come along with me.
It's time to make our gardens grow.
What can you see?
Can you find the hoe?
The hoe is a long tool for breaking up hard earth for gardening.
This one is hard to find.
It's right there.
Can you find the trowel?
The trowel is a big spoon for digging into the earth.
It's right there.
There's a hand trowel.
If you were going to plant a garden, what would you grow?
I would grow tomatoes.
I love warm tomatoes from the sunshine.
Race into June.
Come along with me.
It's so much fun to eat outdoors.
What can you see?
Can you see the thermos?
There it is.
A thermos keeps our liquids warm or cold.
I like to put hot chocolate in my thermos, but probably not in June.
Can you see the picnic basket?
Ooh.
Can you see the scooter?
Jive into July.
Jive is a dance.
Come along with me.
The fair is full of games and rides.
What can you see?
Can you see the ice cream stand?
Can you see the bumper cars?
[gasps] Can you see the juggler?
Whoa.
Sail into August.
Come along with me.
The sand is soft.
The sea is warm.
What can you see?
Can you see the surf board?
Can you see the crab?
Can you see flippers?
Flippers are special swimming shoes that make your feet work like frogs' feet.
They make it easier to swim.
Boop.
Slide into September.
Come along with me.
It's time to go to school again.
What can you see?
Can you see the school bus?
Can you see the poster?
It's inside the school.
Twirl into October.
Come along with me.
The orchard trees are full of fruit.
What can you see?
Can you see the donkey?
[laughs] Can you see the pumpkins?
Wow.
Look at all these different fruits.
What are your favorite fruits?
Mmm, my favorite fruit is an apple.
Sweep into November.
Come along with me.
The leaves are dancing as they fall.
What can you see?
Can you see the bird house?
Whoa.
Can you see the shutters?
Can you see the lantern?
Wow.
Dance into December.
Come along with me.
Let's celebrate the turning year and everything we see.
Can you see the poinsettia?
A poinsettia is a red and green plant that celebrates Christmas.
There it is.
Can you see the presents?
There they are underneath the tree.
I wish that I could see a menorah.
I use a menorah on Hanukkah.
I'm Jewish, and I celebrate Hanukkah in December.
Kwanzaa is also in December.
It is a seven-day holiday celebrating African-American culture.
Everyone here looks so happy.
Can you show me what happy looks like in your body?
In my body it looks like this.
What's a sound that you make when you're happy.
I go like this.
[laughs] [sighs] The end.
Thanks for reading that with me.
Oh my goodness.
My friends, the seasons are so full of change.
We get to go through so much change in the temperature and the weather all year.
Sometimes change can feel really hard.
It can feel like a strong wind on a windy day that makes me spin around and around and around and makes me feel stressed.
Can you all show me what your body looks like when it's going through stress?
My body feels like this.
I feel really tight.
What sounds do you make when you're feeling stressed?
I go like this.
[groans] When I feel stress through changes, I remember to relax my body.
Let's all relax our body, and I take a deep breath in, [breathes deeply] and a breath out.
I put my hands on my heart, and I make myself feel like a cool breeze on a warm summer day.
Let's breathe in, blow out wind.
[blows] Let's give ourselves a hug.
And let's say, "I move through change with calmness and bravery."
Let's all say that.
I move through change with calmness and bravery.
I love myself.
Let's all say that.
I love myself.
And let's take one more breath in and breathe out the wind.
Wiggle out of your body.
Thank you so much for playing with me today and reading our book.
I hope you have a wonderful day, and I am taking love from my heart, and I'm sending it to you.
[blows] - Hi, movers and shakers.
We're going to sing one of my favorite songs, "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes."
And this time my friend Razzaq is going to help us by singing in Somali.
You can sing in whatever language you want.
I'm going to sit up straight.
You can sit up straight on the floor, or you can stand up to do this, whatever you want.
Are you ready?

- Hello friends.
Today's a great day for learning.
I'm Dr. Rivers, and it's time for phonemic awareness, where we learn more about the sounds that letters represent so that we can become better readers and writers.
As always, you're going to need your eyes to watch closely, your ears to listen carefully, your mouth to say and repeat, and your hands to do some of the work.
Let's begin with blending.
We know that blending means to take the individual sounds, put them together, and make a word.
I'm going to say the sounds.
And you're going to say the word.
You can use your hands to mark each sound and then blend it together.
Or you can tap each sound and blend it together.
Or you can just do it in your head.
Let's begin.
I'll do the first one.
Er, uh, buh.
Rub.
When I blend er, uh, buh, I get rub.
Are you ready to try?
Er, oo, duh.
Blend it.
Yes.
The word is rude.
Let's do a few more, but first, I'm gonna put some pictures on my board.
Then I'm going to say some sounds.
You're going to blend them together and say the whole word.
If the word you say matches one of the pictures, I want you to clap three times.
[claps] Let's begin.
The first word is chuh, eh, mm, puh.
Blend it together.
Chimp.
Chimp.
Yes.
A chimp is short for chimpanzee, an animal in the monkey family.
Let's do another one.
Chuh, I, ul, duh.
Blend it together.
Child.
Yes, child is the word.
The next word is ul ah kuh.
Lock.
Yes, lock.
There's a lock.
The next word is, ul oh nn.
Blend it.
Yes.
Loan.
A loan is like if you give your friends one of your toys, but you want them to give it back.
You let them hold it.
It's called a loan.
Sometimes adults get money loans from the bank, but they have to pay it back.
Let's keep going.
Chuh ah tuh.
Chat.
Chat, to have a little talk or a conversation with a friend or someone you know.
The next word.
Chuh aye nn.
Blend it.
Chain.
The word is.
[gasps] There's a chain.
Great job.
The next word is buh eh ss tuh.
Blend it.
Best.
Best.
Yes, the word is best.
The next word is buh ee ss tuh.
Blend it together.
Beast.
Beast, like "Beauty and the Beast."
The next word is buh ur eh duh.
Blend it.
[gasps] Bread!
There's bread.
The next word is buh ee duh.
Blend it.
Bead.
Bead.
The word is bead.
Great job.
Blending phonemes, or individual sounds, to make whole words.
And now let's do some work with short and long vowel sounds.
I'm going to say a word, and then I'm going to tell you a sound to change and make a new word.
Listen as I do the first one.
The word is men.
I'm going to change the eh in men to ee.
My new word is mean.
Now you try.
Say the word site.
Change the I in site to ih.
The new word is sit.
Good job.
Let's do a few more, but first let me show you some pictures.
Can.
Say can.
Goat.
Say goat.
Bat.
Say bat.
Rain.
Say rain.
Duck.
Say duck.
Good job.
Let's make some new words.
Say can.
Change ah to ay.
Cane.
The new word is cane.
Goat, change oh to ah.
Got.
The new word is got.
Good job.
Bat, change ah to ay.
Bait, the word is bait.
Rain, change ay to ah.
Ran, the word is ran.
Duck, change uh to ooh.
Duke, the new word is duke.
Great job.
Changing vowel sounds and making new words.
And now let's try our game with a new sound.
We're going to learn a new sound today.
The new sound is ar.
It's an R controlled vowel sound.
That means the vowel sound that you hear is controlled by the letter R. It's not long or short.
The letters A-R say ar, almost like what a pirate says, ar.
Can you try?
Ar.
Yes.
A-R says ar whether it's in the beginning of the word, the middle of the word, or at the end.
It always says ar.
You say it.
Good job.
Now we're going to play the same game, but we're going to change the sound to ar.
I'll do the first one.
If I say at, and I change to ah to ar, my new word is art.
You try.
Say am.
Change ah to ar.
Arm.
Very good.
Let's try a couple more.
Say cat.
Change ah to ar.
Cart.
Say tap, change ah to ar.
Tarp.
A tarp is another name for a tent.
Say pack, change ah to ar.
Park.
Good job.
State.
Change ay to ar.
Start.
Yes, start.
Chat, change ah to ar.
Chart.
Chart.
Had.
Change ah to ar.
Hard.
Very good.
Ar as in farm, say farm.
Great job.
Now let's build some words and blend them together with the ar sound.
Okay.
Friends.
Let's use our new ar sound to build, blend, and read some words.
Kuh, ar, duh.
Kuh, ar, duh.
Card.
Card.
The word is card.
Let's try another one.
Buh, ar, nn.
Buh, ar, nn.
Barn, yes.
A barn is a building on a farm that holds animals and or tools.
Let's try one more.
Shh ar kuh.
Shark.
Shark.
The shark lives in the ocean.
Don't get eaten by the shark!
Great work today.
Go ahead and kiss your brain.
[smacks lips] We blended sounds to make words.
We changed sounds in words to make new words.
And then we use our new ar to build, blend, and read words.
Remember to share what you learned today with someone that you love.
And don't forget to come back.
There's so much more to learn.
See you soon.
- Hi friends.
How are you today?
I'm Ms. Lauren.
And today for math, we are going to be working with the number six.
We will break it apart in many different ways using objects, number bonds, and a story.
Okay, so if you would like to join me and participate and do some writing on the board and creating some number bonds along with me as I do mine, you can.
So if you want to grab a whiteboard and a marker or paper and pencil, I'm going to give you a few seconds.
So you can go ahead and grab something to write with.
And I'm gonna play some music.
And when the music stops, we will begin.
Okay?
All right, my friends.
Go ahead.
Okay, friends, let's get going.
So to start, we're going to take a look at some squares that I have, right?
So here's one.
Let's see.
I'm going to put them down in a row.
You can count them as I'm putting them up on my board.
And this guy down here.
Okay?
So let's see.
How many squares are on the board all together?
One, two, three, four, correct.
How many are red?
Three.
And how many are purple?
Just one.
So if I was gonna write that in a number bond, this is what it would look.
In a number bonds, you have a top circle and you have two bottom circles.
And the two bottom circles are parts, and the top is the whole.
So if we said we had one, two, three, four squares all together, that is our whole.
So I would put the number four on the top.
You can do that too.
And on the bottom, we would do parts.
Four can be broken into, let's see, how many red?
One, two, three.
I would write the number three for one part.
And the purple, there's just one.
So I would write the number one.
So each part has a number.
Three is a part, one is a part that matches the three red squares, the one purple square, and all together, there are four squares.
You got it?
Okay.
[gasps] Now what?
How many squares do we have all together?
Let's count.
One, two.
Yeah.
We have five.
So, hmm, how many red do we have?
What are our parts?
Yeah, we have three red and two purple.
So all together, my top number bonds, my whole, my total, is going to be five because that represents all of my squares.
And then my parts are gonna be how many red?
One, two, three, red, and two purple on the bottom.
Nice job.
All right, friends.
We're gonna do one more together.
Okay.
Go ahead.
Think about the total.
What is the whole going to be?
Hmm.
What is this part going to?
And what is this part going to be?
Do you have it down?
All right.
Let's see.
That's going to be our top whole.
That's gonna be our number in the top 'cause that's how many we have in total: five.
And so my first part, I'm gonna go ahead and put down number four for the red and one for purple.
Woops, one for purple, because four and one make five.
Wonderful job.
Did you get that?
Good job.
All right, friends.
Now we're going to play a listening game, okay?
I'm going to clap in two different sets.
The first set I'll clap.
And then I'm gonna say pause, and then I'll clap again.
Okay?
Let's practice, ready?
This is what it's going to sound like.
[claps] Pause.
How many times did I clap first?
Two.
Right?
And how many times did I clap second?
Two, right.
So all together, how many claps?
You got it.
Four.
Two, one, two, and two.
Make four.
Good job.
All right.
You ready?
You could do this, right?
Why don't you practice?
Try closing your eyes so you could just listen to my claps.
All right?
If you would like to close your eyes, go ahead and try that.
All right, here we go.
I'm gonna clap and then say pause and then clap again.
Are you ready?
Count them.
Here we go.
[claps] Pause.
Did you get it?
How many times did I clap the first time?
Five.
And how many times did I clap the second time?
One.
You got it.
So one more than five is?
Six.
Yes.
Okay.
Are you ready?
Here we go again.
Listen carefully.
Close your eyes.
Pause.
Did you get it?
How many times did I clap the first time?
Yeah, four.
How many times did I clap the second time?
Two.
Yeah.
So two more than four all together is?
Six.
Good job.
All right, here we go.
Listen carefully.
Ready?
Pause.
Did you get it?
How many times did I clap the first time?
Three.
And how many times did I clap the second time?
Three.
Yes.
So three more than three is six.
You got it.
Great job.
Okay.
You ready?
Here we go.
Close your eyes.
[claps] Pause.
Did you get it?
How many times did I clap the first time?
Yeah.
Two.
How many times did I clap the second time?
Four.
Yeah.
So four more than two is six.
You got it.
Wonderful job listening.
All right, now we're gonna move on to our special story about a little squirrel who is collecting nuts for the fall.
The screen is gonna change, and you will hear my voice.
So just follow along and enjoy.
Okay, my friends, here is little squirrel.
Little squirrel collected some nuts for the fall.
Let's count them to see how many he has collected.
Are you ready?
One, two, three, four, five, six.
Little squirrel has collected six nuts for the fall.
He wants to keep some nuts on the ground and some in the tree.
Let's take a look to see how many he wants to keep in the ground.
Count with me.
One, two, three, four.
He wants four nuts on the ground.
Oh, and he wants two in the tree.
Okay, this is one possible way to break apart the number six.
Let's use a number bond to see what this looks like with numbers.
Do you remember a number bond?
Yeah, the two green circles on the bottom are parts, and the orange on the top is the hole.
So for this problem, we would use the number four as a part 'cause there are four nuts on the ground, two as a part 'cause there are two nuts in the tree, and the numbers six as the whole, because there are six nuts all together.
Got it?
All right.
To write that as a number sentence, we would write 6 = 4 + 2.
What's another way that little squirrel could arrange the nuts that he collected for the fall?
Hmm, well, let's see what he thinks.
Count with me.
One, two, three, three on the ground, and, yes, three on the top in the tree.
So he can separate the number six by using three nuts on the ground and three in the tree.
Let's use a number bond to help us out.
Remember that's what this looks like.
Two parts on the bottom and the whole on the top.
What's the first part going to be?
Yeah, if you said three, you are right.
What's another part?
Yep, more threes, right?
We have three on the ground, three on the top, and all together, we have the number six.
'Cause that's how many nuts he has in total.
To write that as a number sentence, it would look like this.
6 = 3 + 3.
What's yet another way that Mr. Squirrel could separate his six nuts into the ground and into the tree?
Let's take a look at what he thinks next.
Maybe you'll be thinking the same way that he is.
Count with me.
One, two, three, four, five.
There are five nuts on the ground.
Yes.
And only one in the tree.
This is yet another way of separating or breaking apart the number six.
Let's use a number bond, and remember, part, part, whole, right?
So what is the first part going to be in this number bond?
Yes, five is one part.
One is another.
And all together, there are six nuts.
The way that would look as a number sentence is 6 = 5 + 1.
And friends, there is yet one last way that Mr. Squirrel can organize his nuts for the fall.
And that is exactly how you see them right now.
Let's count them on the ground.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
That's right.
He could keep six on the ground and none in the tree.
He doesn't have to have any in the tree, right?
So remember, part, part, and whole.
So what is the first part going to be?
Let's see.
Hmm.
Yeah.
Number six.
Another part would be zero because there are zero nuts in the tree.
And of course our total is the number six.
We would write that as a number sentence to look like this.
6 = 6 + 0.
Wonderful job helping little squirrel figure out how many nuts to keep in the ground and in the tree.
He clearly has a lot of options.
Thank you for helping.
All right, my friends.
You did great today.
Thank you so much for being here with me.
I hope you learned something.
And if you did, be sure to tell somebody what you learned.
Okay?
I hope you come back to continue learning about math with me.
Thank you, friends.
See you soon.
Bye.
- Hi artists.
I'm Cynthia, an artist with Studio in a School.
Today we're going to make patterns with paper.
The materials you will need for this lesson are three sheets of paper that are different colors.
This could be construction, paper, notebook paper, printer paper, or any other paper you might have.
You'll need a pair of scissors and glue or tape.
Let's begin.
What is a pattern?
A pattern is lines, shapes, or colors that repeat over and over again.
Can you look around your room?
Do you see any patterns?
Do you see any shapes that repeat or colors that repeat?
Can you see the pattern on my shirt?
What colors or shapes are repeating?
There are blue squares and red squares that repeat over and over again.
This pattern is called plaid.
I also found a few things from my home that have patterns on them.
Here's a box.
What is repeating here?
There are white lines and black lines that keep repeating, and they're going at a diagonal too.
This kind of pattern is called stripes.
I also found a cloth.
What is repeating on the cloth?
Do you see the squares?
The squares are also in different colors.
They are in a dark yellow, medium yellow, lighter yellow, and white.
And they keep repeating across the cloth.
Let's get started to create our own patterns.
I will need three sheets of paper that are different colors.
One that I'll use for the background.
And two other colors that I will cut shapes with.
First we need to prepare the paper for the background, and I'm going to fold it in half so that I get two sections to work with.
I'm going to create a different pattern in each section.
Let's choose another color paper that we can cut into shapes.
We're going to be using scissors to cut out our shapes.
And let's remember that the smaller loop is where your thumb goes, and that's at the top, facing the ceiling.
The bigger loop at the bottom, you can put three or four fingers through it so that you can open and shut like this.
Remember that the sharp blades should be facing away from you and not towards you.
- [Announcer] Ask a trusted adult for help using scissors.
- All right, I think we're ready.
I'm going to first cut a straight line so that I can make a big rectangle.
So I start on one side of the paper, and I just go open, close, open, close, open, close.
And I'm cutting slowly so that I can make a straight line.
I have a big rectangle and a smaller rectangle here.
What shapes can I cut out of this rectangle?
To make a square, I think I need to make a line right here.
A square has sides that are the same length on all four sides.
Is there another shape I can cut?
What happens if I take a square and cut a line diagonally, going from one corner to another corner?
I now have two triangles.
I think I'll make some more triangles so that I can use them in my pattern.
I now have some squares, triangles, skinny rectangles, and medium rectangles.
I think I'm going to use the green paper and cut some more shapes.
You can make big shapes and small shapes.
What's another shape I can make?
Think I can make a circle.
I can start by cutting out squares.
I'm going to layer two sheets of paper together to cut out the circles.
How can we cut out a circle using a square?
So a circle will have curved lines going around.
I can start by trimming one of the corners on this square.
As I'm cutting, I'm turning the paper so that I make a curved line as I'm cutting.
Okay, now I have two circles I can use.
I can start to arrange my shapes now.
I'm going to make one pattern in this section of the paper.
What shape should I use first?
I can start with the triangles.
I can put one triangle here in this corner of the paper and put another one underneath.
I can also turn the triangle so it's facing the left side.
Hm.
I like that.
Maybe I can put another triangle after that next to it.
Where can I put this triangle?
It will be right there so that it's repeating going down and going across.
I want to use another shape in this pattern.
You can have some of your shapes go off the paper, or you can trim them to fit inside the section.
Let's try another pattern on the other side of this paper.
What shapes can I use now?
I like these green squares.
I'm going to add another shape to it.
I can use the circles or these medium rectangles.
What if I put the squares inside the rectangles?
The two shapes are overlapping.
Wow, the colors are so bright next to each other.
I'm making the shapes go right in the middle so that there's a row going down.
This is a pattern that has two colors with green squares and red rectangles.
Now I'm ready to glue my shapes down.
I'm going to use a scrap paper to glue on so that I can protect my table.
And today, I'm going to use a glue stick.
Which one should I glue first?
I think I can glue the green and red pattern.
So I can take the green squares off first and glue the red rectangle down onto the pink background.
When I put it down, I'm using my fingertips to press so that the entire shape is glued down.
When you put the glue on, make sure you get glue on the corners and edges of your shapes.
I've glued all of my shapes down.
I'm done with my patterns.
Let's take a look.
What will your patterns look like?
It's now your turn to make your own patterns.
What shapes will you cut?
Which colors are you going to repeat in your patterns?
Have fun with it.
I'll see you next time.
