- Hi there friends, my name is Kalle and I'm a teaching artist with the New York City Children's Theater.
I feel so lucky to get to spend some time with you.
Today, we are going to bring a book to life.
This is a favorite book.
No, really, look, the title is "The Favorite Book".
It's written and illustrated by Bethanie Murguia and it's all about how we decide what our favorite things are.
Now, as we read the book, let's not only try to think about what our favorite things are, let's also try to figure out how we decide what our favorite things are.
Here we go, "The Favorite Book".
How do you choose a favorite, a best?
So, what is this person looking at?
Oh, are those cans of paint?
Is this person asking us how we choose our favorite paint?
No, okay.
Is this person asking us how we choose our favorite can?
No, color.
Wait a minute, but there are so many different colors.
How do we choose?
Ooh, the book, the book might give us some clues.
Oh, you guys are smart.
How do you choose a favorite, a best?
Which would you pick before all the rest?
Do you examine, determine, inspect, measure and weigh before you select?
Or do you just know right from the start?
You may be the sort who follows your heart.
You know, that's just like how I knew right from the start that I would love spending time with you.
I followed my heart.
What gets your vote?
For me I'm thinking hot fudge sundae, I've always liked those.
Which is the one?
Well, for me what I like is a hat that is comfortable but that will also help to keep the sun out of my eyes.
What about you?
What kind of hat do you like?
And what makes you like it?
Maybe you'll realize your favorite is, none [giggling].
Well, sometimes what we like or don't like is different from what our friends like, or don't like, and that's okay, we don't have to like the same things.
Or what if just one couldn't possibly do, can you pick two or three?
Well, that's up to you.
So it looks to me like this person sure likes dogs.
For me, I like bunnies because they do these hysterical things that you would never in a million years expect them to do.
What about you?
What animal do you like best?
And what makes you like that animal best?
Do you follow along and go with your friends?
Or are you the type who starts your own trends?
So a trend is when a group of people like the same thing at a particular time.
And there's some times when we like the same thing as our friends and sometimes we like different things.
A favorite can be a way to connect.
Like how this is my favorite book and when I share it with you I feel connected with.
You know sharing our favorite things is a really great way to connect with people we care about.
So I'm gonna read this again.
A favorite can be a way to connect.
A favorite can change if you reselect, right?
Well, that's true.
Because in the winter I would probably choose a hat that's warm [giggling].
Some favorites choose us to be in their crew and then before long we're choosing them too.
Now, look at this person pointing to himself.
Why do you think that person is pointing to themselves?
Let's try doing the same thing.
What do you think they're saying?
Who?
Me?
Yeah, that's what I think this person is saying.
And wait a minute, look over here.
See this person in red, it looks like this person is offering a helmet to this person over here.
Maybe, so that this person can try riding a bike like back here.
So I think this person in blue is discovering a new favorite thing to do.
What do you think?
Well, personally, I love finding new favorites.
What about you?
The favorites we pick, the choices we make become part of us and the path that we take.
And always ahead, more favorites away, wonders to find and to create.
From here to the sea, to the sky up above there are so many things in this world you can love.
You know, it's really true.
There are so many things in this world that we can love.
So many favorites.
There's old favorites that we already know about and there are new favorites that we have yet to discover.
You know what would be fun.
Okay, let's create a body map of all our favorite things both old things and new things and we'll do it on a map of us.
No, don't worry I'll explain as we go.
So what you're gonna need is a piece of paper, ideally nothing that's too small and then something that you can write or draw with.
[upbeat music] The first thing you're going to do is sketch an outline of yourself.
Now, if it can kinda look like a gingerbread cookie like this, that's really great because then there's gonna be room for you to write or draw both inside and outside.
Okay, so next you're going to think about some of your favorite things.
Thinking about some of your favorite things.
Well, you already know one of mine, bunnies [giggling].
So then once you've thought of it, you're gonna write or draw your favorite thing inside the gingerbread drawing of yourself.
So for example, here's what I do, see, bunnies.
Then you're going to think about the things that you have yet to discover.
Things that could become new favorites and you're gonna draw those on the outside.
Here's what I did.
So what I did is I thought, hmm, surfing that's something I've never done before but it looks really fun and if I ever tried it I bet it would become my favorite thing.
So that's why I drew surfing and wrote it out on the outside.
So now you take a moment to think about a new favorite for you, something you'd like to discover.
Great.
Now, this is my favorite part.
Oh, a new favorite [giggling].
Well, anyway, what you're gonna do, is find someone you care about and you're going to show them and you're gonna share with them your favorites then you are gonna ask them to share their favorites with you because when we share our favorite things with people and we listen to them share their favorites, we find a way to connect with them and it's a great way to show that we care about them.
I am so glad that we learned to identify our favorite things.
It felt really nice to share some of my favorites with you.
So thank you for letting me share with you and letting me learn with you because I care about you and I hope you will enjoy doing this activity with another person who cares about you.
All right, goodbye.

[upbeat music] - Well, hello again learners, my name is Renata and we're gonna have a blast today.
First, we're gonna warm up by segmenting words into sounds then we're gonna listen for and make some rhymes.
And then for the rest of the lesson, we're gonna work with words that have the long U sound with a silent E at the end, let's get started.
Okay learners to warm up we're gonna segment words into sounds.
You're experts at this but if you need a little help you can always stretch the word out.
I'm gonna try it.
Here's a word, sit.
Sit.
The sounds.
Sit.
You try it.
I'm gonna help a little bit.
Bow.
Stretch it out, bow.
The sounds, bow.
Next one, blow.
Stretch it out.
Good stretching.
The sounds?
Excellent.
Blow.
Next word, lay.
Stretch it out yourself.
The sounds?
Great job.
Next word, clay.
Stretch it out.
Great, the sounds?
Yes, clay.
Next word, tub.
Stretch it.
Yes, and the sounds?
Nice, last one, tube.
Stretch it out.
Great.
The sounds?
Yes learners, great job warming up segmenting words into sounds.
Okay learners, we're gonna continue warming up by listening for rhymes and then creating some rhymes.
You remember that words that rhyme sound the same at the end.
Listen, lime, dime.
Lime ends with ime, dime ends with ime.
Look at the pictures on the screen and name them.
First picture, keys.
Next picture, fly.
Next picture, peas and next picture, tie.
Which pairs of these words rhyme?
I'll give you a second.
Yes my friends, keys, peas.
They both have the sound ease at the end and yes, fly, tie.
Both of those words have the sound I at the end.
Can you think of another word that rhymes with keys or peas?
Yes, nice work.
I also thought of bees and cheese.
What about fly, tie?
Yes, nice work thinking of rhymes.
I thought of pie and sky, great job.
Let's get ready for our next activity.
Okay learners, we've gotten to the part of the lesson where we're gonna read and write together.
Before we do that, I wanted to just remind you that you've already learned how to spell and read using this long U spelling pattern.
It has a silent E at the end.
So let's practice reading a few words with my help and then you'll read some words on your own and we'll write some words.
Here's our first word, let's see, mule, mule, mule.
Oh, the animal mule.
I'll change something.
Okay, let's do this one, mute, mute, mute.
Ah, that button we push when we're learning remotely.
One more.
Here we are.
Let's go.
Fume, fume, fume.
Oh, fume can be a smell and also fume can be when someone's angry or they're fuming.
All right, I think we're ready to read and write.
Okay friends, let's use what we know to read words that have long U and a silent E at the end.
I'll help with one word and you'll do the rest.
Here we go, cube, cube.
Your turn.
Nice reading.
You just read cube, cute, mule, mute, fume, huge.
Great job.
Okay learners, I've written a really silly story so that we can have more practice reading words that have long U and silent E at the end.
We'll read it slowly then we'll read it again so we can read it fluently and really understand the silly story, let's get started.
The mule is cute.
But, the mule is starting to fume!
We can use our flute.
Now, the mule is calm.
It is like we pressed mute!
I'll read one more time and you read with me fluently and we'll talk about what the story meant.
The mule is cute.
But, the mule is starting to fume!
We can use our flute.
Now, the mule is calm.
It is like we pressed mute!
So it seems like we saw a really cute mule but he was starting to get angry.
And we played our flute and the mule calm down and it's almost like we pressed mute, he's not fussing anymore.
Great job reading learners.
Okay friends, we're gonna write a few words together.
If you can find something to write with, a crayon, a pencil or a whiteboard.
If not, you can just write in the air.
I'll say a word.
You can stretch it out to hear all the sounds and then write it down.
Remember, all the words we're working with today have a long U sound and a silent E. Here we go.
First word, mule.
Stretch it out.
Mule.
Write it down.
Let's check it, mule, mule.
Next word coming, cute.
Stretch it out yourself.
Write it down.
Great, let's check.
Cute, cute.
Next word, huge.
Stretch it out yourself.
Write it down.
Let's check, huge, huge.
Next word, mute.
Stretch it.
Write it down.
Great, let's check it, mute, mute.
Last word, cube.
Stretch it out, and write it.
Great, let's check it, cube, cube.
Nice job, you just wrote, mule, cute, huge, mute and cube.
Nice job, working on writing with this long U spelling.
Well learners, we've gotten to the end of today's lesson.
I really hope you'll practice all these activities at home with a trusted adult.
You were able to segment words into sounds.
You also listened for and made rhymes and then we got to practice working with words that had the long U sound and a silent E. Until next time, have a great day.
[upbeat music] - My name is Liz and my husband, Dave and I have four beautiful kids.
John and Jordan are both on the autism spectrum.
With autism you have your set of challenges but we believe that their brain works in a beautiful way.
Children on the spectrum can become fixated on a particular topic or special interest.
John loves building structures.
Lately, Jordan's passion has been baking.
We like to use their interests to help motivate them.
Do you wanna bake cupcakes?
- Mmh.
- Well, we can't bake a cupcake until we do this homework.
John and Jordan, both struggled with multi-step directions.
The chart really does help them understand what they need to do next.
The whole process of baking has so many wonderful advantages.
It helps support reading and mathematics.
- Eleven.
- Twelve.
- Twelve.
- Living into their interests has been a great motivator for the boys.
It's helped them with their self-esteem and their independence but it's also been a great way for us to bond as a family.
[upbeat music] - Hi, I'm Andrew and I am back with another activity about the built environment in your community.
The built environment is everything around us that is made and used and designed by people.
Do you remember what we call the parts of the world around us that are not designed and built by people?
The world around us that is found in nature and is not created by people is called the natural environment.
People create things in the built environment like buildings and roads and bridges for a lot of different reasons.
And they use the materials that they have around them.
Did you know that there are also animals in the natural environment that build just like people using materials that they can find in their environment.
So today we're going to learn about some examples of animals that build homes for themselves.
They take materials from the natural environment and just like people build in the built environment, these animals are able to make something that they need.
They're able to build a home.
We're going to look at a few examples of animal builders and the homes that they create.
What material did each animal use to create its home.
Let's look at the first example.
[upbeat music] Here is a picture of an animal next to the home that it built.
What does the home look like of this animal?
What materials is this animal home made from?
This animal's home is a hole in the ground.
And so we know that because this animal dug a hole the only material that they used was the dirt, the earth or dirt in the ground.
Why do you think an animal might want to live in a hole like this?
We could call this a burrow that's the name for this special type of animal home.
Animals build burrows so that they can be protected from predators or they can be protected from the weather, if it's too hot or too cold.
Just like things in the built environment help protect people when there's bad weather animals also build shelters to protect them.
Do you know what type of animal this is that build this hole?
This is an animal called a prairie dog.
Even though it's not really a dog.
So the prairie dog digs a hole for itself using dirt as a material for its home.
Let's look at another example of an animal builder.
Here is a very different type of animal home.
What materials do you think this animal used to build it's home?
This animal is using pieces of a tree, it's using wood but it's using whole big branches of wood.
This type of animal is what?
What would you call this animal?
This is a bird.
It's a type of big bird called an osprey.
And do you know the name for a birds home?
There's a special word that we use for the type of home that a bird builds.
A bird's home is called its nest.
So the osprey is a type of bird that uses big branches to build a nest.
Why do birds build nests?
The main reason a bird builds a nest is to protect its eggs and its babies.
Many animals build homes or shelters for their babies.
Does this animal home look like it's down low on the ground?
Or is it somewhere up high?
The prairie dog likes to live down on the ground but the osprey is an animal that likes to live up high.
It likes to build its nest somewhere tall.
So different animals will build in different places depending on what they need.
Let's look at another example of an animal home.
This animal has also built a nest but it's a very different type of nest from the bird's nest that we just saw.
Can you guess what material this animal used to make its nest?
This animal used a material that you have seen before but it's not a material that people usually use to build buildings.
This animal is building its home with paper.
Do you know where paper comes from?
Paper comes from trees, it's made from wood.
So this animal actually takes little pieces of wood and chews it up and spits it out to create its own paper.
And this animal has paper in its name because of how it makes paper, it's called a paper wasp.
It looks a lot like a bee but it's actually a different creature called a paper wasp.
Both the osprey that we saw before, the bird and the paper wasp build nests and both of them used parts of trees to make their nests but their materials that they use are very different.
So they're able to take the same trees and use the material in a totally different way to build different homes.
Let's look at another example.
What material do you think this animal used to build its home?
See how the animal home, this is another nest.
See how it's made out of little thin strips.
This animal home is made out of grass.
It's made of pieces of dry grass that have been woven together.
And because this animal weaves meaning it takes little threads and puts them together just like someone making fabric or cloth, this animal is called a weaver bird.
What are some differences between the weaver bird nest and the osprey nest?
These are both birds but their nests are very different from each other.
What are some differences that you notice?
These two birds use different materials to build their nest and their nests are a totally different shape.
There's another important difference too between these two birds, and that is their size.
The osprey is a big bird so it uses big pieces of branches to build its nest.
The weaver bird is very small, so it uses little thin pieces of dried grass to build its nest.
A little bird doesn't need a really big nest and a big bird can't build a really little nest.
So different animals are able to use their materials to create the home that is right for them.
We just learned about four different examples of animals that build their own homes using materials that they find in the natural environment.
We learned about the prairie dog, the osprey, the paper wasp, and the weaver bird.
Which one of these animal builders had your favorite animal home.
My favorite is the weaver bird because I love how complicated this weaver bird's nest is.
I love that it looks like something that a person might've made.
So some animals are able to build the most amazing things that look like even something that a person could do.
For our next activity, we're going to draw a picture of one of these animal homes that we've learned about.
So for this activity, all you will really need is a paper and pencil.
If you have crayons or markers or colored pencils to add color to your picture, you can also do that.
But all you really need is paper and pencil.
I'm going to show us those pictures one more time so that we can remember what all the different animal homes look like.
So in your picture, you want to show the animals home and you're also going to show what the animal looks like next to its home.
So those pictures one more time were, the prairie dog, the osprey, the paper wasp, and the weaver bird.
When you're trying to draw a picture of something that you see in front of you, what's the first step?
What's the first thing you should do to try to recreate a picture?
Remember that everything in the world around us both the built environment and the natural environment is made of shapes.
So look at the picture and look for the shapes that you see.
I'm going to draw the weaver bird's nest which was my favorite.
So I'm going to start by looking closely at this picture for shapes.
Here are the shapes that I've found.
So I noticed the shapes that the bird's body is made out of.
And I'm also noticing shapes that the nest is made out of.
Then when I start drawing my picture, I'm going to copy those shapes.
In my final picture, I'm adding lots of little details to show more clearly what the material is.
So I added a lot of little lines on the nest so that you can see that this is made of grass.
But I started with the shapes.
So you can do this in your drawing to.
Start by finding the shapes in the animals home and the shapes in the animal's body and that will help you create your drawing.
Let's look at those pictures one more time.
Now it's time for you to draw one of these animals with its animal home.
Which animal home did you draw?
Today, we learned about four different animals that build homes in the natural environment using different materials.
We learned about the prairie dog which digs a hole or a burrow in the dirt.
We learned about an osprey which takes big branches and pieces of trees to make its nest.
We learned about the paper wasp which makes its own paper to make a nest.
And we learned about the weaver bird which takes little pieces of dried grass to weave a nest.
Can you think of any other animals that build that we didn't name today?
What's an example of another animal that builds a home for itself?
The next time you're out in your community or anywhere in the built environment or the natural environment, see if you can find any other examples of animal homes.
There are many animals that live alongside people even in the built environment like in cities, we can find animals and these animals often build their own homes.
For example, a bird's nest or a squirrel's nest or different other types of animal homes that we didn't talk about.
So see if you can find an example of an animal home.
Join us next time for another activity about the built environment in your community, bye.

Let's sing them a lullaby.
Do you know what a lullaby is?
That's right, a song that helps us go to sleep.
I'm going to sing one called "Fais dodo".
Can you say that, "Fais dodo".
Those are French words that mean go to sleep.
Now, how do you think I should sing my song, loud or quiet?
Forte or piano?
I'm gonna try forte.
Let's see how it goes, ready?
♪ Fais dodo my sweet little baby ♪ ♪ Fais dodo my sweet little one ♪ ♪ Go to sleep my sweet little baby ♪ ♪ Go to sleep my sweet little one ♪ Let's see if it worked.
Ooh, still awake.
Maybe I need to change the way I'm singing.
What do you think?
Did forte work?
No.
Maybe I should try piano.
Maybe you can try with me.
Let's sing quietly to our babies, ready?
♪ Fais dodo my sweet little baby ♪ ♪ Fais dodo my sweet little one ♪ ♪ Go to sleep my sweet little baby ♪ ♪ Go to sleep my sweet little one ♪ Let's see if it worked.
One eye is closed.
Maybe I just need to sing even quieter.
That's called pianissimo.
Pianissimo, so quiet, okay.
