- Hello friends, welcome to Circle Time.
I am Caroline from the
Khan Academy Kids Team,
and I'm here today with my friend Sophie.
Hi, Sophie.
- Hi, Caroline.
Hi, friends.
I am so excited to be here for story time,
and especially to read a
story on Circle Time today.
- Yes, but first, should we
start with some counting?
- Ooh, yeah, I think so.
What would you like to count, Caroline?
- I have something fun
for us to count here.
Can you see it?
(gasps)
- Oh, wow.
That looks like some animals.
- Yes.
Should we count these animal friends?
- Yeah, let's.
- Right, how many do we have?
Can you see them all?
We have one.
- One.
- Two.
- Two.
- Three.
- Three.
- Four.
- Four.
- Five.
- Five.
- Six.
- Six.
- Seven.
- Seven.
- And can you see the
little guy down there?
- That's number eight.
- Number eight.
- Wow.
- Do you know what kind
of animals these are?
- Maybe you could help us, Caroline.
What is that first animal there?
- I'm not really sure.
It could be a lamb or a ram.
- Mmm.
- This looks like a hedgehog.
- Great.
- What about this one
that's black and white?
(gasps)
- That looks like a cow out in the yard.
- Mm-hmm, and maybe another sheep, a bear.
- I see it.
- And at the very end we
have, it's very small.
(gasps)
- That looks like a snow monkey.
- That's right.
Actually, Sophie, I
have a snow monkey book.
Should we read it?
- Yeah, I said, I
couldn't wait for a story.
Let's read about the snow monkey.
- So let's read the book "Feel
Better" by Cynthia Platt.
When Snow Monkey woke up in the morning,
she had a perfect plan for all
the fun things she was going
to do that day.
And there were so many fun things to do!
First, Snow Monkey planned
to climb to the top
of the tallest tree.
Next, she was going to look
for her favorite fruits to eat.
Then she was going to
leap from branch to branch
on her way back down.
That looks like a fun day.
- Wow.
Climbing and finding fruits
and jumping and leaping.
What a great day, Snow Monkey.
- Mm-hmm.
While she was having some breakfast,
though, something was off.
Snow Monkey felt a little chilly.
"It must be because fall is
coming," she told herself.
"That's why I'm cold."
But then her head started hurting too.
Friends, how does Snow Monkey look?
What do you think is happening?
- Oh, I think Snow
Monkey might be starting
to feel a little bit sick.
- Uh-oh, yep, looks like
Snow Monkey is cold.
- Oh, yeah, that's why
she's wrapping her arms
around herself to try and get warm.
- Snow Monkey was getting sick,
and if there was one thing she hated,
it was getting sick and
missing out on all the fun!
How does she look like she feels?
- Hmm, well, I think she
feels sick and she feels sad
that she isn't able to do all
the fun things that she wanted
to do that day because she has to rest up
and get better, I think.
- Mm-hmm, she definitely looks sad.
I can see that frown on her face.
- Hmm.
- "Dad, I don't feel so
good," Snow Monkey said.
"Good thing I'm here to take
care of you," he replied.
That was a good thing.
No one took care of her like her dad did.
"I have the perfect plan
to help you feel better,"
her dad told her,
"including a nice, warm bath
to take your chills away."
Snow Monkey stayed in the water
until there wasn't a
single chill left in her.
"What's next on your plan,
Dad?" Snow Monkey asked.
"Now that your chills are gone,
you need some rest," he replied.
So Snow Monkey curled up for a nap.
When Snow Monkey woke up,
she was feeling better.
"What's next on your
plan?" she asked her dad.
"A cool drink of water and some apples
to keep your strength up," he told her.
Snow Monkey did love apples.
After she ate, Snow
Monkey realized something.
Her chills and headache were gone.
She felt nice and rested.
And the berries have
given her lots of energy.
"Dad, your plan really was
perfect," she told him.
"I feel better!"
"And now I have a perfect plan
for you and me," she said.
Snow Monkey climbed the tallest tree,
found more apples to eat,
and leaped from branch to
branch on the way down,
all with her dad by her side!
What a great story, friends.
Have you ever felt sick?
- Yeah, a lot of our friends are nodding.
Yes, I think most people, if not,
maybe everyone of our friends
has felt a little bit sick
at one point or another.
- Mm-hmm, and what were some of the things
that you had to do when you were sick?
- Maybe we need to get warm,
just like Snow Monkey did,
and maybe we could do that by curling up
and getting some rest,
just like Snow Monkey did,
with our very special blankets.
Look, this is mine,
and this is what I would
(gasps) curl up with.
Brr!
- Yeah, sometimes when you're sick,
you get the chills like Snow Monkey.
It can even be very hot outside,
and you can be chilly inside.
- Hmm.
Yeah, that is one sign
that you're not feeling all that well.
- Mm-hmm.
So we might not have a hot spring,
but we could wrap up in a blanket.
What are some other things we could do?
- Well, remember Snow Monkey needed
to have lots of fluids to feel better.
Do you remember what they were?
- Hey, what are fluids?
- Ooh, it's things you can drink.
So I have this water.
It's very good to drink a lot of water
when you're feeling a little bit sick.
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.
- Drinking a lot of water
can help you feel better.
- Yeah, and sometimes eating foods
that have water in them
as well, like a soup.
That's one thing I do.
I make this noodle soup.
- Uh-huh.
- And I put it in this
bowl when I'm feeling sick,
and it has a lot of
watery, soupy, delicious,
and it's really good on my tummy
when I'm feeling a little bit sick.
- What did Snow Monkey like to eat?
- Snow Monkey liked to eat fruits,
and you know what the
funny thing is, Caroline?
Even before Snow Monkey got
sick, she liked to eat fruits.
So she likes to eat fruits
when she's feeling well,
but especially when she's feeling sick,
because they help her get
better because they're full
of lots of good vitamins
and things that make you feel better.
- What kind of fruit do you have?
- Ooh, well, I have a
little bit of fruit here.
Snow Monkey liked apples.
- Mm-hmm.
- Do you have any apples?
- Hmm, I don't have an
apple, but I have a peach.
- Ooh, that's one of my favorite fruits.
I wonder if Snow Monkey likes that too.
- And a banana.
- Ooh, I have a banana too.
Look at my banana.
It's a little bit ripe, but
it's still very delicious.
It's just got some brown spots on it.
Yum, yum, yum.
- Mm-hmm.
Well, you know, we have another friend
who loves to eat fruit and count fruit.
- Hmm, who's that friend?
- He is a bird.
- Oh, Peck loves to eat
fruit and count fruit.
Maybe we could do some counting with Peck.
- Let's do it.
- Ollo wants to eat more strawberries.
Which jar has more?
Let's count and see!
This one has one, two strawberries.
This one has one, two, three,
four, five strawberries.
So this one has more.
Ollo should eat from this jar.
- Which jar has more apples?
- Hmm.
Should we count them?
- Mm-hmm.
- Let's start with the one on the left.
One,
two,
three,
four.
Four apples.
Do you want to count
the next one, Caroline?
- Sure.
The other jar has one, two,
three, four, five, six apples,
and if I look at them,
you can see which one has more, I think.
- Yeah.
The one with six apples has more.
- That's right.
(bell dings)
- Good job.
You tapped the jar with more.
- Now if we just look at the two jars,
can you tell which one has more?
- I think the one with five has
more than the one with four.
- That's right.
(bell dings)
- Woo-hoo!
You tapped the jar with more.
- Now, I think we need to drag
10 oranges to the top row.
Let's do it together.
- [Narrator] One,
two,
three,
four,
five,
six,
seven,
eight,
nine,
10.
- You dragged 10 fruits
to the top squares.
- And now we have apples.
Can we drag eight apples
to the bottom squares?
Together.
- [Narrator] One,
two,
three,
four,
five,
six,
seven,
eight.
- You added eight fruits
to the bottom squares.
- Now can we tell which row has more:
the top row with the oranges,
or the bottom row with the apples?
- Hmm.
I think our friends are
pointing to the top row
with the oranges has
more than the bottom row
with the apples.
- Let's try it.
(bell dings)
- Good job.
You tapped the row with more.
- [Narrator] Now which row has more?
- I think the row with
the apples has more.
- Mm-hmm.
- Hooray!
You tapped the row with more.
- We have one more question.
Which basket has more lemons?
- Well, I think the one
that looks more full.
Want to tap the one that looks
like it just has more in it?
- Mm-hmm.
(bell dings)
You tapped the basket with more fruits.
Comparing numbers is fun.
(giggles)
- We both have fruit.
Ollo has two strawberries.
I have two oranges.
How many fruits do we have together?
One, two, three, four.
We have four fruits together.
- That's right.
Should we count the
number of strawberries?
Let's count them.
- Yeah.
- One.
- [Narrator] One, two.
- There are two strawberries.
- Now let's count the oranges.
- [Narrator] One, two.
- There are two oranges.
- So, altogether, how
many fruit do we have?
- Oh, one,
two,
three,
four fruits altogether.
- Mm-hmm, let's tap them.
- [Narrator] One, two, three, four.
- There are four fruits altogether.
- That was fun.
Sophie, do you want to
count some fruit with me?
- Yeah, I'd love to.
- Let's see, I have one, two,
- Two.
- Three.
Four.
Five.
I have five bananas, and
Sophie, how many do you have?
- Oh, I just have one banana.
- So altogether, how many do we have?
- One, two, three, four, five,
and six bananas altogether.
- Nice work, friends.
Do we have some other fruit?
Should we count my peaches?
- Yeah.
- One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven,
and friends, what's the last one?
- Eight peaches.
Wow.
Should we count my lemons?
- Mm-hmm.
(gasps)
- Okay.
One,
two,
three,
four lemons.
Yay!
- Four lemons.
Should we check our mail
and see some of the things
that our friends sent us?
- Yeah, I would love to do that.
- I think we have some
show and tell today.
Friends, look, Autumn sent
us her drawing of Kodi bear.
(Sophie gasps)
- Wow, I love Kodi
Bear's little pink ears.
That is such a great drawing.
It looks just like Kodi Bear, Autumn.
Great job.
- And I see three hearts at the top,
and maybe three triangles,
if you look very carefully,
one on one side and two on the other side.
- Oh yeah, I see that.
That is great.
I love that drawing.
- Uh-huh, and Autumn's sister
also sent us a drawing.
This is Summer's drawing, also of Kodi.
- Oh, wow.
Summer, that is so good.
I love the shapes.
Kodi has that round face
and the little ears.
Oh, that's so great,
and it looks like Kodi
might be maybe outside.
Yeah, and there is such
great writing on there.
It says, "From Summer."
- Mm-hmm, and their brother
also sent us a drawing.
Jacob.
Thank you, Jacob, for
sending us another Kodi.
We have three Kodis so far.
- Oh my gosh, and this
is all from one family,
Autumn, and Summer, and Jacob.
It's like they all drew
Kodi together, and Jacob,
it looks like, chose a
green piece of paper,
which is kind of fitting, don't you think?
Because that's what color Kodi is,
and Jacob also put some hearts
at the top of his drawing.
- Mm-hmm, and a sun at the top too.
- And a sun too.
Wow, Jacob, you did such a good job.
Thank you.
- And we have this one
from Malia and Elliot,
and this looks like a fourth Kodi.
- Oh my gosh, this is a blue Kodi.
I've never thought to do a blue Kodi.
It looks so cool.
Oh, Elliot is wearing a cape.
It's like Elliot, the superhero,
drew Kodi, and it is so great.
Thank you, Elliot.
- Mm-hmm, so many Kodi drawings.
I think we have some
other characters now too.
So Molly sent us this drawing.
Does anyone know who it is?
- That's Sandy, one of my
absolute favorite characters
of all time, Sandy the Dingo,
and what I love about
this is Sandy's face.
It's so wide.
She has big cheeks, and
there's little eyes doing
a little bit of glancing
sideways to see what's around.
That's a great drawing of Sandy.
- Mm-hmm, and we have this drawing
from Rocky who was drawing.
His drawing is on the white
board right next to him,
and he drew Reya, with a lady bug.
Can you see the little lady bug?
I think on Reya's hand.
- Oh, that's so cool.
I love that.
I love that it's on a whiteboard too,
because you can draw lots of
things and erase some things
and draw more things.
That's so great.
- Rocky looks like he's having fun.
And Sienna sent us this drawing.
Who is this, friends?
- Well, that must be Peck.
- That is Peck.
- And Peck has a crest on his head.
It's nice and red, and a long beak.
I love that drawing.
Thank you, Sienna.
- Yeah, Sienna told us that
they've been working on circles
and lines in their drawing.
- Wow, well, that's great, Sienna.
- And this one is from
Lacey, another Peck.
- Oh, wow, Lacey, that
is such a great drawing,
and it looks like Lacey might
even be dressed up as well,
maybe as an Avenger,
and Lacey is drawing
and dressing up and having a great day.
That's so awesome.
Thank you, Lacey.
- We have this drawing from June.
- Oh, June.
It looks like June drew one,
two, three, four characters.
Ollo up top, I love that Ollo,
and Peck, and Kodi, and even Reya.
- Mm-hmm.
- Wow.
- Ollo has a big trunk.
- Looks very creative, June.
- And this is from Michaela,
and looks like we have all
of our characters here.
- Wow.
Okay, do you know what I love about this?
It's a little bit hard to see,
but on the page, it has the date,
and it looks like Michaela spent
a few days working on this.
She would do a little
bit, starting out one day,
and then she did it over a few days,
not just all in one day.
That's such great work,
Michaela, and we can see Peck,
and Kodi, and Sandy,
and Reya, who I skipped out,
oopsie, and Ollo, wow.
- Mm-hmm, and I think above
all, you can see a dinosaur,
which might be one of Ollo's bath toys.
- Oh, wow, I was wondering
what that could be.
That's so great.
I love the way Peck's
looking over at Kodi,
and Reya's looking over at Sandy.
It's so good.
- Thank you, friends, for
sharing all of your drawings.
We love to see your drawings
when you can send them to us.
But now it's time for us to say goodbye.
We've really enjoyed reading
and counting with you today,
and we will see you next time.
Goodbye for now from the
Khan Academy Kids Team.
- Bye, friends.
- Goodbye.
