[upbeat music continues] - Hi!

My name is Emma and I'm a teaching artist with New York City Children's Theater.

It's nice to meet you but can I tell you something?

I'm a little bit nervous because this is my first time meeting you.

My friends told me about this book, it's called "A Friend for Henry."

They said that if I read it it would make me smile and it would make me feel better.

So I was hoping that I could read it with you.

Does that sound okay?

Great, okay.

So before we read the book, I think that I want to take a few deep breaths to get ready.

Will you do it with me?

I think it would be fun if we pretended like we were zipping a zipper on our favorite sweater.

All right so let's put on our sweater.

What color is your sweater?

Mine is purple.

Okay, ready?

Let's zip and breathe in.

Ready?

[breathing deeply] Let's do one more.

[breathing deeply] Great, thank you for breathing with me.

Now, today we're going to read "A Friend for Henry" by Jenn Bailey, illustrated by Mika Song.

This book is about a boy named Henry who's right here on the cover, who is looking for his first friend.

All right, let's get started.

"In Classroom Six, Henry was looking for a friend.

It couldn't be Gilly, who circled her fishbowl.

'She's quiet' thought Henry, but she can't play on the swings.

It couldn't be Mrs. Magoon who knew about hugs.

'She shares,' thought Henry, 'but she has to.'

Could it be someone else in Classroom Six?

In art class, Vivianne shared Henry's double easel.

Vivianne was a kaleidoscope, a tangle of colors.

She had ribbons and clackety shoes.

She knew every pony song and her fingernails were painted like rainbows.

'When I get paint on my fingers,' Henry said, 'I wash it off.'

Vivianne waved her hands too close to Henry's face.

'My mommy painted them.

Aren't they pretty?'"

How would you feel if someone waved their hands too close to your face?

I don't know if I would like it.

"'Painting on people is against the rules,' said Henry.

'Did your mommy get in trouble?'

'No' said Vivianne.

Henry lowered his voice.

'Did you get angry?'

'Why should I?'

Asked Vivianne.

But Vivianne was very angry later.

'He ruined them!'

'She likes rainbows,' Henry explained and he thought a friend would say thank you."

I think that he painted on Vivianne's shoes.

How would you feel someone painted on your shoes?

"Reading time was Henry's favorite.

My friend will like it too.

It was Henry's turn to put out the carpet squares.

He tucked the blue ones next to the brown ones, green in the very middle.

All the edges met and all the corners fit perfectly 'Reading time!'

Shouted Samuel.

'My favorite!'

Samuel was a thunder storm, booming and crashing."

Will you say that with me?

Booming and crashing.

"He was kind of scary if you didn't have your blanket.

He could pick up crayons with his toes and do proper somersaults."

Can you pick up crayons with your toes?

You should try it.

"Henry stepped in front of Samuel.

'Somersaults are hard.'

Samuel dodged past.

'I want a green one.'"

Say that with me.

I want a green one.

"'Wait!'

Henry's throat felt tight, 'They're perfect.'

'Mine's a magic carpet from a genie's lamp' said Samuel.

'It's not,' Henry's face was hot.

'It's from Rug World, there's a sticker.'

'Up, up and away magic carpet.'

Booming and crashing."

Do that with me again.

Booming and crashing.

"Henry's fingers curled closed.

A friend listens."

Now let's take a pause.

How do you think Henry feels right now?

We learned that his throat felt tight, his face felt hot, and he was curling his fingers together.

How do you feel when you feel all of those things?

Yeah, I think that I maybe feel angry or maybe frustrated and he definitely looks angry or frustrated.

Yeah.

"'Henry' Mrs. Magoo knelt in front of him.

'Sit with me please.'

Henry did but he couldn't see the pictures and his carpet square was brown.

During snack time, Jayden took three crackers instead of two.

At recess, Riley dug up worms and let them use the swings.

At free time, Henry's hope for a friend felt small.

He watched the sunlight play along Gilly's scales.

He could watch Gilly for a long time.

Katie watched too."

I wonder, do you have any predictions for what's going to happen?

Let's think about that.

"Katie smelled like strawberry milk.

She read story books all by herself.

She slid down the big slide, sometimes backwards.

'The big slide is too big,' said Henry.

Gilly floated past.

'She's shimmery' said Katie.

'But she doesn't blink' said Henry.

'What does she do?'

She burps pebbles, Henry thought, and breathes under water and turns sunshine into rainbows.

Henry hunched into his sweatshirt.

'Fish things.'

Katie bent to have a closer look, 'I like her.'

Henry tried not to blink."

Do you want to have a staring contest?

Okay, so we both have to try not to blink, ready?

Go!

Oh no, I think you might win this one.

My eyes are starting to get teary.

Oh no, I blinked [chuckling].

You must have won, you won that time [chuckling].

Maybe we'll try again later.

"'Want to play blocks?'

'Sure.'

'I don't like triangles,' said Henry.

'I don't like broccoli,' said Katie.

Together they built a tower.

It had rectangles and cylinders and squares but no triangles or broccoli.

'It's perfect' said Henry.

'Thank you,' said Katie.

The next day, they played on the swings together and Katie went down the big slide.

Henry waited at the bottom for his friend."

We got one more picture.

Look at them being friends, reading storybooks together.

The end.

All right, well thank you for reading that with me.

Reading it really did make me feel better.

Did it make you feel better?

How?

Well it made me feel a little bit more confident that I'd be able to make a new friend in a new place.

Something that made Henry feel better was finding someone to play with, and all he had to do was ask.

Sometimes it can definitely be hard to talk to new people but when you notice that you have something in common you have a new thing to talk about together.

Like now we have this book to talk about together.

I was wondering, do you want to play a game with me?

Yeah?

Yay!

So the game is called 20 questions.

It's a really good game to get to know someone better because you're learning about them and they're learning about you.

Here's how it works.

I will ask you a question and then you will share your answer with your voice and your body.

So for example, how do you feel about going down the big slide?

I know Henry thinks a big slide is too big but Katie loves it.

When we play this game, both of us will show each other how we feel about going down the slide and we can definitely have different feelings or reactions.

So do it with me, ready?

One, two, three, action!

Whee!

Yay!

So I threw my arms up in the air because I was excited to go down the slide like Katie.

But you could definitely feel differently about it.

All right, let's get started.

What does Gilly the fish do all day?

One, two, three, action!

Glug, glug, glug, glug.

Show me your best fish face [chuckling].

Great.

Okay, next one.

What would it be like to ride on a magic carpet like Samuel?

Ready?

One, two, three action!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Look around you, where are you?

How high up are you in the sky?

Is it daytime or nighttime?

What's below you, what do you see?

Are you flying over an ocean or a city or a town or a desert?

Whoa!

Okay great, let's do the next one.

How would you feel if your friend painted rainbows on your shoes?

Ready?

One, two, three.

[gasping] Wow, I'm so surprised that someone would paint rainbows on my shoes, but I actually kind of like it.

Would you like it?

Okay great, let's do the next one.

How does it feel to hug your friend?

Ready?

One, two, three.

Action!

I love hugs.

I love giving hugs to my friends and my family.

Great.

Okay, let's do the next one.

How would you dig up worms?

Ready?

One, two, three, action!

Whew, I got to dig up some worms.

Oh look.

How big are your worms?

My worms are pretty big.

Okay, ready?

Let's do one more.

Okay.

What do you do to make a friend feel better when they're sad?

One, two, three, go!

Big hug.

Maybe a dance party, pizza party.

What else?

What else?

How else do you make your friend feel better?

Oh, that's great, that's such a good idea.

Okay wow, that was so much fun.

Thank you for playing that game with me.

I was wondering, can we be friends?

We can?

Oh yay!

Well my friend, thank you for reading that book with me and playing this game, I had so much fun with you.

Remember, you can play this game anytime you want with a new friend, an old friend, or a trusted adult.

Actually, I have one more question.

How do you say goodbye to your friends?

Maybe a hug, maybe a high five, maybe saying see you later alligator!

Waving.

Okay so let's say goodbye however you want.

One, two, three, action!

Goodbye!

- Hi movers and shakers.

This is Violet and I'm here again with my friend Jeremy, and he's going to help us sing a song.

First I want to shout out one of our friends, Durney, who helps us read stories sometimes.

She requested this song because she wanted us to spread some joy and positivity during these challenging times.

- Thank you Violet, once again, for having me come on and share a song with you about feeling good.

I have a question for you.

What do you do when you're having a bad day?

- Hm.

I like to laugh or play games with my friends, I even like to sing and dance with them too.

- Nice!

That's so funny because I love those same things too.

I love hanging out and singing with my friends.

It always makes me so happy.

In fact, I have a song that I think you would love and I think most of you would know.

If you do, feel free to sing along, move your hands, dance in your seat, or jump up and down and dance and sing along with us.

It's called "Can't Stop the Feeling."

[upbeat music playing] - Hello again learners.

My name is Renata and we're going to have a blast today.

We're going to be blending sounds to say words, we're going to listen for long and short vowels in words, and then we're going to practice two spellings for long o.

We're going to be reading and writing the long o like in goat, or like in snow or if you want to write the word throw.

So let's get started.

Okay learners, we're going to blend sounds to say words just to warm up.

You're already experts.

I'll do the first one and you'll do the rest.

I have my little colored tiles to help just in case.

Here's the first word I'll do.

C oa st. Coast.

The word is coast.

Your turn.

Here are your sounds.

C o s t. Yes, cost.

Next sounds.

S t o ve.

One more time.

S t o ve.

Yes, stove Next word.

S t o p. Hmm.

Yes.

Stop.

Next word.

Ch e ck.

Yes, you got it.

Check.

Next one.

Ch ee k. You got it.

Cheek.

Next one, b en ch.

Hmm.

Bench.

Is that what you said?

Awesome.

Next one.

B ea ch.

Yes, beach.

Last one.

Sh ir t. You got it, shirt.

Nice job blending sounds to say words.

Let's keep going.

Okay learners, we're going to continue warming up by listening for vowel sounds inside words.

I'll say a word and you just have to repeat the vowel sound that you hear.

I'll try one.

Here's a word, fire.

I hear i in the middle.

Here's your first word, fish.

Yes, i.

Next word, weed.

You got it, ee.

Next word, web.

Yes, e. Next word, dress.

Yes, e again.

Dream.

Yes, ea.

How about pod?

Yes, you got it, o.

How about pole?

Yes, o.

Here's another, fell.

Yep, e. How about feel?

Yes, ee.

Two more.

How about hay?

Yes, a.

Last one, hat.

You got it, a.

Nice job listening for vowels in the middle of words.

In our next activity, you're going to listen for long and short vowels and be able to tell me which one you hear.

Okay learners.

You're going to listen for long and short vowels, you're going to be able to say which vowel it is and if it's long or short.

I'll do one.

The first word I'll do is coach.

I hear o, long o.

When I say a word to you you're going to repeat the word, you're going to repeat the vowel you hear and then tell me which long or short vowel it is.

Here's your first word?

Chop.

Good, you said chop, o, short o.

Next word.

Chose.

Yes, chose, o, long o.

Next word, known.

Yes, known.

o, long o.

Next word, not.

You got it.

Not, o, short o.

Next word, stove.

Yes, you said stove, o, long o.

Last word, stop.

Yes, you said stop.

O, short o.

Nice work listening for short or long vowels in the middle of words.

Let's keep moving.

Okay learners, we've gotten to the part of the lesson where we're going to read and write a little bit together.

But before we do, I want to review the different ways we can spell that sound long o.

One way is O-A it makes an o sound or O-W, also has a long o sound.

Let me show you how we might use it in a word.

Here we go.

I have a word here with the O-A spelling.

S oa k. Soak.

Oh, soak.

Let me see if I can make a word using the other o, long o spelling.

Hmm.

How about this word?

All right let's try this one.

G l ow.

Glow.

Glow.

All right.

I think we're ready to read and write a few words with these spellings.

Let's go!

Let's blend and read words with long o spellings O-A or O-W.

I'll point and you're going to blend and read.

Let's read a few sentences together that have words with long o spellings.

Here we go.

"We put on warm coats to go out into the snow.

The cold wind started to blow.

Brrr!"

You just read, "We put on warm coats to go out into the snow.

The cold wind started to blow.

Brrr!"

And I saw a few long o spellings.

Coats, snow, blow.

Nice work reading today friends.

Okay friends, we've gotten to that part of the lesson where we're going to write and practice using these long o spellings.

O-A and O-W.

This is called dictation.

That means I say a word and then you write the word and then we'll check it.

I'm going to give you about 10 seconds to go find something.

A piece of paper, crayon, marker, or a whiteboard to write with.

If you don't have anything, that's okay.

You can just write in the air.

Counting down 10, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.

I hope you're back and you have something to write with.

Here we go, first word coming to you now.

It is goat.

Stretch it out, goat and write it down.

Good.

Let's check it.

Here we go.

G oa t. Goat.

How'd you do?

Excellent, I know.

Next word is coming, listen closely.

Float.

Stretch it out yourself, listen and write.

All right, ready to check?

Here we go.

F l oa t. Float.

Hmm, next word is crow.

Those little black birds, crow.

Write it down.

Let's check it.

C r ow, crow.

Next word, bowl.

Stretch it and write it.

Bowl.

Okay, let's check.

B owl.

Bowl.

How'd you do?

Excellent!

You just wrote goat, float, crow and bowl.

Nice job practicing using these spellings, O-A and O-W for long o.

Excellent work today learners.

Well learners, we've reached the end of today's fun lesson.

You did a great job blending sounds to say words and focusing in on long and short vowels, and you got some great practice learning to read and write with these long o spellings like this one, where you can write float or goat, coach or coat, and the other spelling as in glow, flow, blow or throw.

Make sure you practice, practice, practice with a trusted adult and remember to join us tomorrow for more learning.

So until next time, have a wonderful day.

Bye!

[upbeat music playing] - Hi.

My name is Delia Meza and I work at the New York Hall of Science, which is a science museum in Queens, New York where I get to have fun teaching science to children just like you.

Thank you for joining me for science time.

Today, I have some very beautiful flowers that I'd like for us to take a look at, explore, and learn about together.

A flower is the part of the plant that blooms and makes seeds that will become brand new plants.

Flowers can come in all different sizes, shapes, colors, and even scents.

For example, there are flowers that are small and have very little in terms of colors while other flowers are big, bright, and colorful.

Flowers have an important job.

They use their bright colors and smells to attract insects and birds to drink a sugary juice it makes called nectar.

As these animals and birds drink the flower's nectar.

their body gets covered in a special powder that the flower makes called pollen.

Can we say that together?

Pollen.

When the insect or the bird flies off to drink nectar from another flower, it takes that pollen with it and spreads it into new flowers.

Flowers will then use this pollen to make seeds that will become brand new plants.

This process is called pollination.

Let's say that together.

Pollination.

Fantastic!

But you see, flowers aren't just beautiful to look at and smell, there are many different uses for flowers such as to make medicine, paints, and flowers can even provide food for animals and humans.

Even though flowers can look different on the outside, most flowers are made up of similar parts on the inside.

Let's explore some of those flower parts by dissecting or taking apart a few flowers and taking a peek inside.

After we dissect the flower, we'll use some of these same flowers to do a fun activity called flower pounding, where we'll smash flowers to extract or take out their pigment or color to make prints on white pieces of paper or white fabric.

You'll need a few materials for this activity, such as fresh flowers or leaves, a cutting board to work on, a tool to smash your flowers such as a small rubber mallet.

But if you don't have one you can also use a small hammer, a rolling pin, or even a large rock.

Several pages of thick white paper or pieces of white fabric, wax paper, tape, a small container or a bowl, paper towels, and scissors.

But please, make sure a trusted adult is available to help you with the scissors.

Let's get started with our flower dissection.

There are many different parts in a flower.

Therefore, we're going to explore five of the most common.

These are the stem, the leaves, the petals, and on the inside of the flower, the stamen and the pistil.

I'm going to use two different flowers during our dissection, a lily flower, and a carnation.

I'm going to carefully use a pair of scissors to separate the flower from the stem.

But remember, if you do this activity at home please make sure to ask a trusted adult to help you with the use of the scissors.

The first part that we're going to identify is the stem.

The stem is long and sturdy because it needs to support the plant and its flowers.

The stem is connected to the roots of the plant, which are mainly hidden underground and absorb water and nutrients from the soil.

The stem then carries the water and the nutrients from the roots to the leaves and the flower.

Now, I'm going to take my scissors and very carefully separate the flower from the stem.

Here is the stem of the lily flower, and I'm going to cut the stem from the carnation.

The next part that we're going to identify are the leaves.

In the lily flower, we can see that the leaf is very long, it has a very dark green color and it's also quite shiny too.

In the leaf of the carnation, we can see that the leaves are much thinner and also much shorter.

The leaves are very important for plants and for flowers.

The leaves grow out of the stem and are filled with a green pigment called chlorophyll.

Can we say that together?

Chlorophyll.

When light from the sun shines on the leaves, the chlorophyll turns that sunlight into food that is very important to keep plants healthy and strong.

Next, let's take a look at the petals.

Petals give flowers their shape and are brightly colored to attract insects and birds.

Different flowers can have different amounts of petals.

Let's remove and count the petals of the Lily and then the carnation.

One, two, three, four, five, and six.

Now let's find out how many small petals are in a carnation.

[playful music playing] The carnation has 35 petals.

So which one had more?

Six petals in the lily flower or the carnation?

Definitely the carnation flower had a lot more petals.

Now that we removed the pedals of each flower, we're better able to see what's on the inside.

The first thing that we see are these long pieces called the stamen.

The stamen is a very important part of a flower because this is where it produces the pollen, and all of the pollen is held at the top of the stamen.

Finally, we have the pistil.

The pistil is the part of the flower that collects pollen brought by insects or birds.

If the from another flower makes its way into and down the pistil, the flower will use it to make seeds to create new plants.

Now that we learned about a few parts of the flower, let's do a colorful activity where we'll use a heavy item to gently smash fresh flowers until we can extract their colorful pigment.

We'll start by preparing our workspace.

You don't want to use anything heavy and smash it directly on a table.

Instead, we're going to pound our flowers on a cutting board.

But remember, if you don't have one, you can also try doing this activity on the ground.

Next, we're going to cover the cutting board with white paper or a piece of white fabric.

For my example, I'm going to use the white paper and I'll fold my fabric and put it on the side.

Look at the flowers and leaves you have for this activity and pick the ones want to use.

Place them on top of the white paper or a white fabric.

Have fun with this activity.

Try using different color flowers to make patterns or fun shapes, but ask a trusted adult to help you cut the flowers from the stem with a pair of scissors.

After you find the flowers you want to use, arrange them on your paper and cover them with pieces of wax paper.

Put tape around the wax paper to keep everything in place.

It will prevent the flowers from moving around too much when you're smashing them.

Ask a trusted adult to help you hit the top of the wax paper with a heavy tool.

As you smash the flowers underneath the wax paper the flower's pigments will be extracted from the flower and leave colorful prints on the paper or fabric.

As you're doing this activity, please keep in mind that thicker flowers will require more pounding than thinner flowers.

If your arm gets tired, try switching hands or simply taking a break.

Please remember that you don't have to do this activity quickly.

Please take your time and be careful smashing your flowers.

Every now and then, stop to look at your wax paper.

What do you notice?

How are your flowers changing?

What colors can you see?

You can also ask your trusted adult to let you test different heavy items and compare what objects work best.

For example, if you have a rolling pin at home you can try rolling it on the flowers instead of smashing them.

After a few minutes, take off the tape and gently lift the wax paper, and look at the flower prints left behind.

Scrape off any flower pieces that are left on the paper or the fabric and put them in a container to throw away later.

Once you're finished, leave your flower prints out to dry for just a few hours.

You can use your flower prints in any number of creative ways, such as putting them in picture frames and giving them as a gift or just simply hang them around your house.

The possibilities are endless.

Thank you for joining me for science time.

I had a lot of fun and I hope you did too.

I look forward to seeing next time and I hope you make today a great day.

Bye!

[upbeat music playing] - Hi, I'm Cythia, an artist with Studio in a School.

Today we're going to make a collage using paper.

The materials we will need for this lesson are two pieces of paper that are different colors.

You can use printer paper, construction paper, magazines, newspaper, or whatever paper you can find.

We will also need glue or tape.

Do you know what a collage is?

A collage is a type of artwork where you take pieces of material like paper or fabric that you glue onto a background.

Today we will need two sheets of paper that are different colors.

One for a background and one to tear shapes with.

I'm going to use this green paper to make my shapes and this black paper for a background.

How can I make shapes today using just my hands?

I can use my hands as tools and tear the paper.

To tear the paper, you can hold the paper like this by pinching it at the top like this.

And you'll want to move one side away from you and the other side towards you.

So they're going in opposite directions like this.

There's two ways to tear.

You can tear your paper fast or you can tear it slowly too.

I already have these two shapes, one small shape and one big shape.

I can take this piece and now tear it slowly.

So I'm pinching the paper with my two hands.

One is going away and one is coming towards me.

Do you notice that I have to move my hand down the paper as I tear?

Like this.

What do you notice about tearing slowly?

The line that I made is much straighter here than this line that I tore quickly.

When I tear slowly I have more control over the line that I'm making.

Now let's look at the shapes we have.

What do you notice about the edge of the torn shape and the edge of the cut shape?

The torn shape is bumpy and the cut shape is really straight and smooth.

I now have three shapes.

Let's make some more shapes.

I'm going to make this shape smaller by tearing it in half.

I want to try to make a round shape.

Maybe I can use this paper.

How do I make a round shape with just my hands?

I think I will try to tear a curved line here and I need to turn the paper as I tear.

What else do I need to do to make this round?

I think this pointed corner can be ripped off too.

Another word for tear is to rip.

I'm going to rip this corner off to make it a round shape.

Now that worked.

I want to make more shapes.

I can make some smaller shapes too using this paper.

I'm going to take this big paper.

I wonder what happens if I try to tear some curves in it.

And I'm going very slowly and turning the paper in different directions as I tear.

Wow look at that.

This is an interesting new shape.

I have many shapes here now and I can start to arrange them on the background.

First let's pick out seven shapes.

These are also shapes, the leftover pieces.

Here's my background paper.

How can I arrange these shapes?

I can start with this round shape.

I can put it in the middle or at a corner.

Let's see, what else can I add to this?

I can put this curvy shape at the top of the paper right along the edge.

I have these smaller pieces.

When I arrange the shapes I can have them far apart from each other.

Ooh, these shapes are going off my paper and that's okay.

Let's make another arrangement.

You can use the same shapes and arrange them differently.

And I can overlap my shapes, that means when one shape is on top of another.

I can put these smaller shapes next to the curves and that square towards this corner.

How can I use this last shape here?

Ooh.

When I move this shape farther away towards the edge of the paper, I see a new shape in between the green shapes and that shape is black, which is the background.

And this is a wavy shape.

I really like this side of my arrangement but I don't like this side as much.

I think I'm going to change this.

I can switch this shape out for something else.

I have these shapes on the side too.

What does this shape remind you of?

Sometimes when you turn the shape around you get something new.

Ooh, I can put it underneath the circle.

There's a space here like a tunnel.

And I think I'll move this round shape down so that it can touch the shape underneath it.

Okay, I think I'm done with my arrangement.

I'm ready to glue now and I think I'm going to use the glue stick.

I'm going to get another sheet of paper so that I can protect the table.

What can I glue first?

I think this shape, this big shape should go down first because it's underneath and I need to put the glue on the bottom of the paper.

So I turn my shape over and I want to add the glue all along the edges of the shape and place it on the background.

I also will press so that the entire shape is glued onto the background.

Okay.

Are all my shapes glued?

You can do a shake test to see if any shapes are moving.

I have finished my collage and here it is.

Let's look at this collage together.

I have some shapes that are arranged so that there are spaces in between them, like right here, where the space in between the shapes makes a new shape in black.

I have some shapes that are very close together where they're almost touching.

Do you see that?

I see that right here.

I also have shapes that overlap, where one shape is on top of another.

Can you find an overlapping shape?

There's one here.

When two shapes overlap, it becomes a bigger shape like this.

Okay.

Now it's your turn to make your own collage.

What kind of shapes will you tear and how will you arrange them?

Will you have your shapes far apart or have them close together or even overlapping?

Try at least two different arrangements before you glue them down or take them down.

Have fun with it.

I'll see you next time.
