(upbeat music)
- Hi, welcome to Room 9.
Our region's largest classroom.
I'm Mrs. Williams.
I teach first grade in
the Windsor Sealants
School District.
That's in Imperial, Missouri.
This is.
- Mrs. Forth, hi everybody.
I'm from the Rockwood
School District.
I'm excited to be
here with you today,
as we learn a little
bit about reading and
- Math.
- So before we start,
we really want to know
- Where are you?
Are you near the airport?
Top golf.
Are you out at six flags?
- That's where I live.
- Yeii
Are you near the magic house?
Closer to the zoo.
Maybe you are close
to the St. Louis arch
or the Mississippi river.
That's where I'm at.
I'm a little bit South of
St. Louis in Herculaneum
near the Mississippi river.
- It looks like we have
friends from all over St. Louis
joining us today.
- Thanks for joining us guys.
- Very exciting.
Okay let's go ahead and
start with our welcome poem.
I'm gonna point to the words,
feel free to join along with
me, as I say, I'm ready.
Welcome welcome everyone.
How are you today?
We are so glad to be with you
learning math and reading too.
- And speaking of
how are you today
we need to do a zone check.
Because before we
get ready to learn,
each day we check in
on our body and brain.
Really smart scientists
that study brains,
know that happy, calm
brains do the best learning.
If you are in the green zone,
that means that you are calm.
You are happy and you're
ready to complete your work,
help others and reach
your daily goals.
And this is the hand signals.
So if you are in green zone,
show me you're green
and good to go.
If you are in the blue zone,
you might be feeling a
little slow and low today.
You might need to draw
a picture, get a hug,
or think some happy thoughts
to be ready to learn.
Your hand signal
will look like this.
If you are in the yellow zone,
you're maybe a
little frustrated,
anxious, or maybe just
really excited in a good way,
but not ready to learn yet.
Then you need to take
some deep breaths,
get a hug or talk to an adult
that can help you be ready.
If you were in the red zone,
you have flipped your lead.
Your hand signal
looks like this,
and you're probably not
learning with this right now.
You're very angry or
upset about something.
You need to stop, get
help from an adult,
take some deep breaths and
check the size of your problem.
So show me your hand signal.
Are you green zone
and good to go?
I hope you are.
If you are blue, yellow, or red,
chose on of our strategies to
help you get ready to learn.
- You guys ready to
get started today?
All right, before we start,
let's do our Room 9 chant.
Can you read this along with us?
Okay.
I am smart I am kind.
I am brave I am
- Me.
Hi everybody, welcome
to reading time.
I'm excited that we get to
keep talking about vowel sounds
and some of our sight words to
help us become better readers
and writers.
For the first game
that I wanna play,
we're gonna have to
listen very carefully
to the sounds that we hear
in the middle of words, okay.
So I'm gonna say a word.
We're gonna say it slowly.
And we're even going to pretend
we're on a roller coaster,
as we say it.
And then I want you
to pay attention to
what's the sound
you hear at the top
of the rollercoaster, okay.
Here's a hint.
It's going to be a vowel sound.
Are you ready to try it?
Okay I'm gonna do the first one.
So the first word is rat.
So watch how I hump on
my rollercoaster, ready?
Rat.
Did you hear what was at
the top of the coaster?
Let me do it one
more time ready?
Rat.
What did you hear?
A.
And which vowel
makes that sound?
That's right the
vowel A good job.
Are you ready to do one with me?
Okay get your roller
coasters ready?
Okay.
Right the word is spill.
Say spill, spill.
Here we go.
Spill.
What'd you hear up here?
Spill.
That's right I, and what
vowel makes that sound?
The vowel I, next word.
Next word is block.
Say block.
Your rollercoaster ready.
Block.
Hmm block what'd you hear?
A.
Can you remember what
vowel makes the A sound?
O, good job you guys.
O the vowel o makes A sound.
Hey, next word.
Your coasters ready?
Send, say send.
Send.
Hmm what'd we hear up here?
Send.
E and what vowel?
E okay next word.
Crush, hmm crush.
Get your coaster ready?
Crush, crush.
Let me see those
roller coasters.
Crush.
What do you hear?
U great.
Do you remember the vowel
that makes the u sound?
Yeah it's the letter
U the vowel U.
Hey, how about best?
You're the best.
Ready?
Get your coaster
ready best, best.
What'd you hear up here?
E, and the vowel is e okay.
Crack say crack.
Hump on your coaster.
Crack, crack.
What vowel's in the middle?
That's right, the vowel a.
Last one wish.
Get your coaster ready.
Wish wish, what'd you hear?
I, and do you
remember the vowel?
I good job.
So remember we have five vowels
and we can hear those
vowel in every single word.
And the vowels can
make two sounds.
The sounds we've been
practicing this week
are the short vowel sounds.
So when a says, a.
E as he says e.
I says I.
O says a,
and U says a, those are
our short vowel sounds.
Great work, okay.
The next thing I want to
talk to you guys about
are our sight words.
Remember the sight words
are those words
that we know in a
(fingers snap)
snap?
And I told you yesterday
that we were actually
going to use those words
to help us write some sentences.
Before we get started,
I think it's a good
idea for us to kind of
review those words.
What do you think?
Okay I'm gonna say the word
and then I want you to
repeat it after me, ready?
A the see I.
Can we do it again?
Okay this time we're
gonna say the word.
We're gonna chant
it as we spell it.
And then we're gonna
say the word again.
So a, a, a sounds kind
of silly, isn't it?
How about this one?
The t-h-e, the
I I I.
see S-E-E, see
Okay well hold him up,
this time I want you to
say them and by yourself,
I'm not gonna say it, ready?
Good job.
As you guys were doing that,
I just got something in my head.
So when you said I see the.
I was like, oh you guys
do like saying a sentence.
I see the ball.
I see the marker.
I see the cup.
I think that we can
now use our sight words
that we know in a
(fingers snap)
snap and write some sentences.
We can make like a whole
book, what do you think?
Do you wanna do that with me?
Okay if you have a paper
and something to write with,
go ahead and grab it.
If not, you can help me out.
And then later you can
do this on your own.
Okay so I have a piece of paper
and I'm gonna put
our sight words.
I see the, those are gonna
help us write our sentences.
Are you ready?
Okay so I see the
I'm gonna write that I
see
the
I see the,
yeah let's just use the
objects that I have in my room.
I see that ball.
Can you help me write ball?
Let's think, ball hmm.
What do you hear
at the beginning?
B ball.
Yeah, I hear that too.
I see the ball ball.
Yeah can I tell you a trick?
That's the vowel that's
in the word ball.
Tricky,
remember I said vowels can
make lots of different sounds?
Yeah what else do you hear?
Ball, ball, yes the letter L.
There's actually two
Ls in the word ball.
Good work.
You wanna write another one?
Okay, you tell me what to write.
Our sentence is going
to be, I see the cup.
I see the cup.
What's the first thing
that I need to write.
I okay and what's
special about this I.
You're right it
should be a capital,
an uppercase I line
down and a and across.
I
see
what's the next word guys?
I see the
I see the cup cup hmm cup.
Let's hear the beginning
sound first ready?
Cup C C C C.
That's right it's a C.
Get your roller
coasters out, ready?
Cup, cup.
What'd you hear in
the middle there?
What'd you hear when you said
cup on your rollercoaster?
That's right it's the vowel U
Okay let's write a U.
I see the cup, p p p.
Hmm cup.
A P.
I see the cup.
Awesome okay.
How about oh here's something
else I have in here.
See, this is a plug.
Yeah I have lots of things
I have to plug in with
all my computers in here.
So plugs say plug.
Let's write that sentence.
Let's say the
sentence first, ready?
I see the plug.
I see the plug.
What do I start with?
Hey, if you have paper,
you write it too,
if not you can write
this one in the air.
I
see yep this word right here.
I see.
I see
the
can you guys spell that for me?
T-H-E thank you.
I see the plug, plug.
Let's say it slowly ready?
Plug, what are you
hearing at the beginning?
Plug.
I hear the P sound also yeah.
Hmm this one's trick, I almost
hear another sound in there.
Pl, pl oh look at what
my tongue is doing.
Pl pl and L
I see the plug.
Let's catch that vowel sound.
Get your roller
coasters out, ready?
Plug, plug
It's the same as cup, isn't it?
It's that vowel U.
I see the plug, g g
I see the ball, I see
the cup, I see the plug.
I think that should re-read
what we just wrote together.
Okay so here we go.
I'm gonna use my marker, but
now that I have my cap on,
it's a pointer, ready?
I, let me hear you.
I see the ball.
I see the cup.
I see the plug.
Readers and writers
you can write a book all about
the things that you see too,
because we know the
words I see and the in
(fingers snap)
snap.
Thanks for joining me off
to go see Mrs. Williams
and some reading.
- Oh no it's okay Mrs. Fourth,
I know you didn't mean it.
I was really distracted.
I was looking for something.
Hey guys I came over to get
us started on math today.
And then I noticed something
really strange was going on.
Did you see it too?
Yeah part of our
number line is missing.
This is crazy.
And there was also
a note and it says,
"If you would like
your numbers back,
"you have to do some detective
work and grow your brain."
Huh and there's no signature
and I've been looking all over
That's what I was doing when
Mrs. Fourth tossed it to me,
but I can't find the
numbers anywhere.
The note said that we had
to do some detective work
and grow our brain.
And there were some missing
number sets on the note.
So I guess today
we're going to have to
find the missing
number in a sequence.
So that's our job today.
A sequence means
a set of numbers.
So there's gonna be a set of,
there's gonna be a number
missing in each set,
kind of like on our number line.
So I guess we're going
to have to do that,
to get our numbers back.
Let's go ahead and
do a little counting
to get our math brains warmed up
because we've got a
big job ahead of us.
We're gonna count to 20
and this time we're
going to clap it, ready?
Zero one, two, three,
four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, 10.
Halfway there we're going to 20.
11, 12, 13, 14, 15,
16, 17, 18, 19 20.
All right we made it to 20,
but now we got to go backwards
because I happen to know
that when there are missing
numbers in a sequence,
sometimes you have
to count backwards
to figure out the
missing number.
Are you already?
We are hopping this
time 20, 19, 18, 17,
16, 15, 14, 13, 12,
11, 10, nine, eight, seven,
six five four three,
two, one and zero hero.
Well, I don't know about you,
but my math brain is
warmed up and ready to go.
So let's get, figuring
out these missing numbers.
Are you ready?
The first number sequence
looked like this.
So we have two a
missing number and four.
Hmm so if we're counting,
which one of these
numbers would come next?
Two blank four.
Do you think, you know?
Give me a hand up and wave it
when you think you've got it.
What is it?
Three let's try it out.
Does this look right?
Two, three, four.
Great job guys good
detective work.
We'll put our three back
and try out the next one.
Man you guys are
being a huge help.
Can't wait to get
our numbers back.
Here's the next one.
Hmm this one looks
a little different.
The blank isn't in the
middle it's at the end.
So our numbers
start seven, eight.
Well seven is less than eight,
so our numbers are
getting bigger.
They're going up by one.
Hey, we worked really hard
on this the last few days.
What would be one more
than eight, seven, eight.
What do you think?
Great job guys it's nine.
Remember nine is
a loop and line.
That's our nine,
let's count it out
and make sure it sounds right.
Seven, eight, nine.
Great job.
Are you ready for another one?
Here we go.
Give you a second
to think about it.
So we start with two.
And is the next number
bigger or smaller?
It's bigger so we're counting
on by one, two, three.
What is it?
You think it's four
let's try it out.
Count it up and make sure
that it fits two, three, four.
Great job guys take your finger.
And I want you to
finger write a four.
And if you've got a pencil
and paper in front of you
write them two, three, four.
Hey guys we've got
two more to go.
I wonder what will happen.
Do you think we'll
get our numbers back?
Oh, oh there's something very
different about this one.
What is it?
What's the difference?
Yeah this one has the missing
number in the beginning.
What do we do about that
guys, do you have any ideas?
Well, the numbers
that are there,
I noticed if I count this
way, they get bigger.
Eight, nine.
What if we tried
counting backwards?
Did you say that?
What a great idea.
Nine eight they look like
they're getting smaller by one.
Huh, so nine, eight.
Write those numbers down.
Good detective takes notes.
Nine, eight, what number
did you fill in there?
Seven, let's try it out
let's count it and see
if it makes sense.
Nine, eight, seven.
Great job guys you're
fantastic detectives.
Hopefully we'll have our
numbers back in no time.
All right you ready?
This one's tricky.
Huh it's another one with
the space in the beginning.
What strategy did
we use for that?
Where we counting on the
way the numbers get bigger?
Or do we start with the
bigger number and count back?
You're exactly right.
We're gonna use all
that counting backwards
that we've been practicing.
So let's start with
the big number.
Remember to take your notes
detective three two blank.
If you don't have a finger
or if you don't have a paper
finger write it.
What number do you say it is?
One great job.
Awesome work.
Check it out let's see
if it three, two, one
zero would come next,
but great job guys.
We filled in all
the missing numbers.
What?
What have you got?
Look what my dog
just brought me.
Do you think it was my dog?
I don't know who it was,
but she has our missing numbers
guys we solved the mystery.
We got our numbers
back, but wait,
there's one more
teeny, tiny problem.
We have to put them
back, can you help?
All right let's see.
The first number I have
is what's that guy?
Nine hmm but where
do you think it goes?
Let's count hmm.
Zero one two, what
will come here?
Yup three, four, five, six.
What would come in this space?
Seven, eight,
yeah right nine goes
there we found it's home.
It is back where it belongs.
All right, what's next?
What's this number?
Sometimes we see this
number written this way
and sometimes we see
it written this way.
Both are the number
you're right it's four.
How are we gonna get it home?
Help me out guys.
Zero one, two.
What comes here?
Three, four let's check and
make sure that makes sense.
Four, five, six yep.
That's its home let's
put it back in there.
All right let's
check this next one.
What number is it?
Seven you're right
let's find it's home.
Zero, one, two.
What will come here?
Three, four, five, six.
We found it's home, seven
is back where it belongs.
You're doing a great job guys.
Look we only have two
missing numbers left.
What is the name of this one?
You're right it's three.
Do you remember how to spell it?
T-H-R-E-E.
Here we go zero one, two, three.
Great job and what's our last?
It's zero the hero,
where does he go?
Yes right here at the beginning.
Great job guys.
Thank you so much for
helping me solve the mystery
and putting those missing
numbers back where they belong.
I hope you had a great time
and grew your rainbow brain.
Make sure that you are
respectful, responsible,
and safe today.
Use nice words when
you talk to others,
wash your hands really well
and make sure that you're
helping out around your home
or your school.
Have a great day, Mrs. Fourth,
and I will see you again
soon to grow your brain.
Bye
