(playful music) - Good morning, boys and girls, and welcome back to Room 9, the region's largest classroom.
It is Dr. Sanders and I am here to teach a little ELA and math to all of my pre-K students.
But what do I always say?
It doesn't matter if you're two or 102, we will have some fun, F-U-N, fun while learning.
I work at Adams Elementary School in the St. Louis Public Schools and I am ready to get started, are you?
Yes, yes, yes!
Let me take off my hat.
Let's take a look at our objectives.
In ELA, students will practice pre-reading skills and retelling main ideas with some supporting details.
What the book is all about.
And in math we will do some graphing.
You ready?
All right, let's get started with a mindful moment.
What's your favorite mindful moment?
Sometimes, things just goes on, sometimes you just breathe in, breathe out, but if something is going on, you know, my favorite mindful moment is when you just smile.
Like sometimes you're really upset and somebody might tell you to smile, that might not help, but if you smile on your own, it's kind of hard to be upset or not ready, right?
So let's just practice smiling.
You can show teeth, but you don't have to show teeth, either way.
Say I'm angry, I'm angry, (exclaims) then you just smile.
It usually ends up with laughing for me, 'cause it's just funny, I'm thinking of how I'm looking while I smile.
You all have some beautiful smiles.
Make sure you continue to brush your teeth every day so they can stay beautiful.
All right, let's take a look at some of our friends' names.

As you're listening, let me know what do you think this book is all about, the main idea.
"I've never met a robot I didn't like.
"Except for the robots Iggy and Spike.
"Strange bots.
"I really like Sid, 'cause he looks like a squid.
"Since the day he was built he wanted to swim, "but he sank to the bottom like his good friend Jim."
That's Sid and that's Jim.
Why couldn't the robots swim?
"I met Warehouse Bob while he was doing his job.
"He worked and worked never making a sound.
"He just picked things up and put them down.
"Clank had one rubber wheel, "it was perfect for snow.
"There was no kind of weather that made him go slow.
"Sammy was a robot who came from the south.
"It's strange, whoever made him forgot to add a mouth.
"They didn't however, forget to add a shark "and a belly full of water that glowed in the dark.
"On a far away planet was an alien to be saved.
"For this dangerous journey, we sent the robot called Dave.
"The alien came by to great brave Dave, "but we forgot Dave's arms, so he could not wave.
"Fred was a robot that rode down our street.
"We see him on Halloween yelling trick or treat!
"Broken and rusted, in a barn full of hay, "tucked away from the light, hides Robot Ray.
"Robot Ray can no longer work, "he just sits in the dark, covered in dirt.
"Mildred is happy and likes to dance.
"She said she learned how when she lived in France.
"Her favorite dance move is the robot, "and yes, if you're wondering, she does it a lot."
Can you do the robot?
Let me see you do the robot.
"I know lots of robots, all with different names.
"Some are built for work and some are built for games.
"But the happiest robot is my good friend Lynn, "every time I see her, she has a great big grin."
Would you like to be friends with a robot?
Are you friends with a robot?
Do you have a robot?
You know what, you can build a robot out of anything, you really can.
'Cause it's whatever your imagination says.
Let's see, I can make a robot.
I have this roll of tape, right?
I have this roll of tape, I can add eyes.
I want my robot to have a mouth.
All right, I have my eyes and my mouth, and then I can have arms.
I can take the tape and make arms.
And that's my robot.
Do you have a robot?
I would love to see some pictures of your robot and make them any way you want to.
What was this book all about?
Robots!
About different types of robots.
And how do you know it was all about robots?
How do you know?
Yeah, that's all it talked about was robots.
Different types of robots.
What was your favorite robot?
The one who tried to swim?
That's probably not smart for a robot to swim, why not?
Because it can't get wet?
Most robots can't get wet.
They will go like this, we are a (groans).
Your favorite was the one that couldn't work anymore, I think his name was Ray, he was just covered in dirt.
He couldn't work anymore.
The trick or treating robot.
What was his name?
Fred.
Fred was the trick or treating robot.
Robots are fun.
This book was all about robots.
All right, boys and girls, let's do some counting.
Let's do some counting.
I'm ready to count, are you?
I'm ready to count my shoe.
I'm ready to count, count, count, count.
Let's count.
We're gonna count from zero to 100 by ones.
Make sure your... La, la, la, la, la.
Warm up your voices.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Here we go, zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
Let's count like a robot.
21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.
Really fast.
31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40.
In a real deep voice.
41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50.
In a really high voice.
51, 52.
I can't get a high voice.
53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60.
I don't really have a... Let's whisper.
High voice.
61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70.
Really loud!
71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80!
Regular voice.
81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90.
We're gonna start really low and then get really loud.
We're gonna start really soft and then get loud at the end.
91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100!
Now we're gonna count from zero to 100 by fives.
Zero, five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100!
Now we're gonna count from zero to 100 by tens.
Zero, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100!
Now we're gonna count backwards, put your hands up.
10, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, blast off!
Now we're gonna count from zero to 10 in Spanish.
Cero, uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez, diez!
Hmm, things that make you go hmm.
I was thinking about the robots.
Remember I asked you to build a robot?
If you go to PBSlearningmedia.org and you can search for robots, it's some activities that show you how to make the robots, or you just make them on your own.
But PBSlearningmedia.org, you can do that.
We're gonna take these down, we're gonna look at our graph that we made yesterday with the number of letters in different people's names, in our friends' names.
And yesterday, most people had five letters in their name.
Most people had five letters in their name.
We have some new names today and we're gonna count these letters and add them to where they go.
So whose name is this?
This is Trinese's name.
Let's count the letters, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
She has seven letters, where should I put my dot?
Four, five...
Under seven, right?
So we'll put it there.
All right, and whose name is this?
Taylor, let's count Taylor's letters, one, two, three, four, five, six.
She has six letters.
Let's count the letters.
Six, so we're gonna find the number six and put another dot.
Then we have Tyler, let's count his letters.
One, two, three, four, five.
He has five letters.
That's the number five right there.
So I have to put a chip right there.
And Kahlil, let's count Kahlil's letters, one, two, three, four, five, six.
He has six letters, so we gotta put a chip right there.
And we have one more name.
I have to get some more chips out.
There we go, I got my chips out.
We have Kurt, how many letters does Kurt have?
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
He has four letters, so it goes right here.
Which amount has the most letters in their name?
Still five, right?
One, two, three, four, five.
Five has five.
And we'll continue to work on some graphing, maybe we'll graph some more names, maybe we'll graph Sanders.
But you know what, what's our favorite word?
And how many letters are in our favorite word?
One, two, three, four.
But the word is what?
Nine!
Let's spell nine, nine, N-I-N-E, nine.
Thank you for being in Room 9, bye bye.
