[gentle upbeat music continues] - Hi, friends, thank you so much for joining me today for story time.

My name is Maggie Pouncey and I am the author of this book, "A Fort on the Moon."

An author is a person who writes the words to a story.

An illustrator is the person who makes the pictures.

And the illustrator of this book is Larry Day.

And you'll be meeting Larry soon.

In addition to being an author, I'm a mom.

And I was inspired to write "A Fort on the Moon" watching my kids play.

Like you, they are wildly imaginative and so good at building worlds together.

And I really believe imagination is the superpower of all kids.

And I wanted to write a book, celebrating that.

So let's dig in and start reading "A Fort on the Moon."

A fort on the moon.

My big brother, Fox Wilder, knows everything about the moon.

Sometimes we go there in a spaceship we made with odds and ends we found around the house.

We call it The White Dolphin.

We're preparing for a new voyage.

We build models with our wooden blocks.

We knock them down and build them again better.

"What's all this?"

our mother asks us.

So we tell her the truth.

We are building a fort on the moon.

She gets that look grownups get when they think you're being cute.

Fox sparkles his green eyes at me and flashes his dimple at mama.

Our dad is an engineer, so he thinks he knows a lot about building.

"How about this?"

he asks, moving a key support beam.

"I'm afraid that just won't work," says Fox.

"Did you know," Dad says, "on the moon there are peaks of eternal light.

Places where the sun never sets."

"Did we know?

We've been there three times," I say.

"Well, four," says Fox.

"If you count the first time."

"Adventurers must be as patient as they are brave," Fox likes to say.

So we wait.

And at last the right night arrives.

We lie on our bed as still as moon craters till we no longer hear our parents' soft voices.

And the ribbon of light beneath our door disappears into darkness.

And you can see here, these boys are really crazy about the moon.

They had an Apollo moon landings poster, some spacecrafts, and they're getting ready for what looks like a very exciting adventure.

Snow suits, bike helmets, furry slippers.

Up we go.

Fox first, then me, up the corkscrew stairs to the very top of the house, widow's walk it was called back when sailors, brave explorers of the sea, lived in this house.

You can see that the boys are bringing up some really interesting stuff with them.

Broken umbrella, hockey stick, a rolling pin, giant full moon beams down on us like a lighthouse in the sky.

Our ship, The White Dolphin stands proudly where we left it, hidden behind the chimney.

We load our materials into the ship.

Things mama will call junk!

Things she'd put in a heap by the back door to be carted away.

We bring along too our usual tools, Fox's ribbons and my tape collection, two diggers, and two whackers.

Tonight, like Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, we will land in the Sea of Tranquility.

We will build our fort a home on the moon for all brave enough to use.

And I wanted to tell you that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin are real life astronauts who did go to the moon.

And the Sea of Tranquility is a real location on our moon.

Into The White Dolphin we climb.

Helmets clicked, snow suits zipped.

It is cold on the moon.

We strap ourselves into our old car seats, and Fox counts the numbers down from 10.

"Blast off!"

we shout as one.

When you travel to the moon, you must go very fast.

Faster than you've ever gone.

The earth far behind you looks like a marvel.

Luckily the journey is short when your ship is as good as The White Dolphin.

We land with a crash and scrapes and bangs of diggers and whackers.

We unclip our harnesses and inspect each other's helmets.

We tie ourselves together and to our ship with Fox's ribbons using the best knots we know.

Two sailor's fists, and a mighty mermaid.

Up close, the moon does not glow silver or white or even yellow.

Up-close it is mysterious and dark, like a mountain turned inside out.

A volcano floating in midair.

Walking is like walking on the sand of the earth's softest beach or stirring the batter of the world's biggest cake.

Things are lighter on the moon.

Fox does kangaroo hops just like Buzz Aldrin.

I pick him up and swing him around and it's hilarious!

I could never do that back on Earth.

Then it's time to build, but it isn't easy.

In fact, it's harder than we'd imagined.

The moon soil is slippery, and our supplies keep tipping over.

Moon dust sticks to everything.

We're low on tape.

I start to cry, but only a very little.

I want to go home.

I hate the moon.

I throw my wacker into the air, and we watch it float away like a lost balloon.

Wacker I think is that rolling pin we saw walking up the stairs with the boys.

And you can see here they look so frustrated.

Have you ever felt that way?

Making something that it wasn't turning out quite the way you wanted?

I certainly have.

Let's see what the boys do next.

"Adventurers must be as patient as they are brave!"

Fox yells, "And explorers never give up!

Not when they've come this far!"

He starts doing some crazy dance moves.

He challenges me to a somersault competition.

We make moon angels.

So it looks like they found some pretty fun ways to get out of their frustrated mood.

Then when we start to build.

We scoop and tie, stack and lean, pitch and whack.

We stand back.

It's even better than our models.

Dad would be proud of our engineering.

For a moment, we stand inside our hard work and feel proud together.

You can see he's in a very different mood now.

They're so happy, proud of what they've built together, and maybe looking at this fort, you can find some ideas for things that you can use inside your house to build a fort.

Like a tire.

There's that broken umbrella, croquet mallets.

I think these might be books.

Anything can be a fort maybe.

But adventurers don't stand around applauding themselves, explorers complete their missions.

We dust each other off and step back into The White Dolphin.

I watched the moon grow smaller and smaller as Fox watches the earth grow bigger and bigger.

I feel both big and small, brave and scared, patient and restless, so tired and completely awake.

Spotting our widow's walk, Fox pulls the parachute, and we land on the roof with a soft thud.

He looks at me.

"We did it, Dodge!"

"I almost didn't," I say.

"I wanted to give up."

Fox sits there looking wise.

He knows a lot about lots of things, not just the moon.

"But you did it anyway," he says.

It's hard to park a spaceship when you're sleepy.

We pulled The White Dolphin back into it's hiding spot behind the chimney.

It will need a good cleaning and a few repairs before the next landing.

Soon, the sun will rise, and the moon will disappear into the pale blue sky of day.

As we climb back into our house, I turn and wave goodbye.

In the morning, we eat pancakes shaped like astronauts, stars, and the moon.

"For our brave space explorers," says our father, as he passes the syrup.

"Has anyone seen that pile of old junk?"

my mother asked.

"It's the strangest thing.

Where on earth could it have gone?"

In the bright sunlight, Fox's his green eyes sparkle and his dimple flashes.

"Outer space?"

he says, and I almost fall out of my chair, but our parents just beam at us and dig into breakfast.

And you can see besides Dodge's breakfast of moon and star pancakes, there's something that, do you think they brought that back with them from the moon, a moon rock?

Wow.

The end.

And thank you so much to all of you for joining me for this story time of "A Fort on the Moon."

Larry Day, the illustrator is going to be doing a drawing activity with you, so if you get a paper and pencils and come back, he'll be right there ready for you to draw.

Thank you, friends.

Bye.

Hello everyone.

Wasn't that a lovely reading of "A Fort On the Moon" by Maggie?

I'm Larry Day, I drew the pictures for "A Fort on the Moon."

And if you have your pencil and your paper ready, I think we should do a drawing together.

[soft, happy music] I'm going to start it off since Fox and Dodge go to the moon, let's draw the moon.

It's a big circle.

That's the moon.

Fox and Dodge go to the moon to build a fort.

Let's draw a fort.

Let's draw the fort right here.

Let's draw a triangle upside down, and upside down triangle right there.

Now because of the lack of gravity on the moon, things float away, we're going to have to anchor that fort.

So let's draw an anchor right here to hold the fort down, so it won't float away.

And from that fort, we have beams of lights These are beams of light coming from their fort.

We also have light coming from there, on that side, and that side.

Now, on the moon, besides their fort and their anchor, and the beams of light, on the moon surface there are craters.

So let's put a couple of craters in there.

Let's put one here, and let's put on here.

And there you have it.

The moon.

Kind of looks to me like it might be something other than the moon.

It might have a face.

There might be a face on the moon.

It might be the face of, I don't know, what's it look like to you?

[cat meows] You can draw anything you want on the moon.

Thank you very much, and hopefully you have a nice day of drawing.

- Hi, movers and shakers.

This is Violet.

And it's time to get a little bit silly.

Are you ready for a song?

For this one, you're just going to need to put your fingers up.

So let's wiggle our fingers, wiggle our bodies and get ready.

[upbeat music] - Hello, scholars.

Welcome to a wonderful day of learning.

My name is Anna, and I am so excited to be working with you all today.

Today, we will be doing a lot of fun activities, all focusing around the short A sound.

First we'll practice reading words with the short A sound, then we'll do a really fun word family sort.

Sounds like a lot of fun, right?

All right, let's get to it.

First things first, let's review the sound that short A makes.

Now remember A is a vowel, and it has a lot of different sounds, but right now we're just focusing on the short sound of A, which is 'ah.'

Repeat the sound after me.

'Ah.'

That's right.

Now the letter A can stand for that 'Ah' sound in the beginning or in the middle of a word.

So remember apple begins with the 'ah' sound.

Repeat after me, A 'ah.'

Ah, ah, apple.

Great, now in order for us to read words with this short A sound, 'ah,' we need to review a few other letters, and then we'll be ready to read our words.

Nest begins with the 'n' sound and the letter N stands for that sound.

Say 'n' nest N. Duck begins with the sound 'd,' and the letter D stands for that sound.

Say 'd,' duck, D. Pencil begins with the sound 'p' and the letter P stands for that sound.

Say 'p,' pencil, P. Last letter.

Cat begins with the sound 'k,' and the letter C is one way to represent that sound.

Say 'k,' cat, C. Okay, quick review.

Tell me the letter and the sound it makes.

C, 'k.'

What's the letter and the sound?

P, 'p.'

What's the letter and the sound?

D 'd.'

What's the letter and the sound?

N, 'n.'

And remember our lives are spread apart when we make that 'n' sound.

Last one.

What's the letter and the sound?

Okay.

A 'ah.'

Now we're ready to make some words.

When there is only one vowel in a word and it's followed by a consonant, the vowel usually stands for short sound.

So let's take a look at this.

Let's say the letter sounds and blend this word.

ah-t. At.

Remember A is a vowel, and it can stand for many sounds, but here because T is the consonant, since it's followed by that consonant, we're going to say the 'ah' sound, all right?

So once again, ah-t. At.

All right, let's take a look at this word and see if we can blend it sound by sound to read it.

So this is the word we are going to try to blend.

Now, let's start with each individual sound.

Help me blend it sound by sound.

N-ah-p. Great.

Now, let's blend the first two sounds together and add the last sound.

Nah-p. Now let's blend all three sounds together.

Nap.

So what's the word?

That's right.

The word is nap.

Let's try this blending routine with a few other words.

Let's blend sound by sound.

K-ah-n. Now the first two together, and then the last sound.

Kah-n. Now all together.

Can.

Let's blend sound by sound.

D-ah-n. Now the first two and then the last sound.

Dah-n. Now all together.

Dan.

Like a name!

Next word.

Once again, let's blend sound by sound.

T-ah-n. Now the first two sounds together, and then the last one.

Tah-n. Now altogether.

Tan.

Last word, let's blend sound by sound.

K-ah-p. Now the first two sounds and then the last sound.

Kah-p. Now altogether.

Cap.

Now let's read all five words together.

Ready?

Let's go.

Nap.

Can.

Dan.

Tan.

Cap.

Do you think he could read it a little faster?

All right, let's go.

Ready?

Go.

Nap, can, Dan, tan, cap.

All right, one more time.

This time, you're all on your own.

Here we go.

Awesome job.

You've done such a great job with the short A sound.

Let's do a word sort activity!

So first let's determine the categories.

Let's read this word together.

What's this word?

That's right.

P-ah-n. Pan.

Now notice how pan ends in the 'an' sound, and the letters A N represent those sounds.

I'm going to make pan the first heading for one of our columns, okay?

Now I want you to read this word.

That's right, k-ah-t. Cat.

So notice how the letters A T represent the sounds for 'at.'

So I'm going to make this the second heading for our word sort.

Now the third column is just going to be our other.

That means the words that we say will not fit into our pan or cat category.

So how are we going to do this activity?

I'm going to say a word.

You will determine which column the word goes into based on how it sounds at the end of the word.

So for example, if I said the word can, which column would can fall into?

Well, because can has 'an' at the end of the word, and I hear that 'an' sound, I know that can will go into the can column because they both have that 'an' sound at the end.

Are you ready to add a few more words to our word sort?

Let's do it.

Which column would the word at go into?

If you said the cat column, you are correct, because cat and at both end with the same sound.

Which column would the word sat go into?

If you said the cap column, you're absolutely correct.

Because cat and sat both end with that 'at' sound.

Which column would the word bad go into?

If you said the other column, you're absolutely correct.

Because bad does not end with the 'an' sounds like pan or the 'at' sounds like cat.

Which column would the word Dan go into?

If you said the pan column, you are correct, because Dan and pan both end with the 'an' sound.

Last word!

Which column would the word nap go into?

If you said the other column, you are absolutely correct, because nap does not end with the 'an' sound like pan, or the 'at' sounds like cat.

Great job.

Scholars, you did a wonderful job today.

You were able to blend and read words with our short A sound, which is 'ah,' and you were even able to sort them based on different endings with that short A sound, like 'an' and 'at.'

Keep practicing blending sounds as you read and write.

Well, until next time scholars, be safe, keep learning, and have fun.

Bye!

[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 loved building structures.

Lately, Jordan's passion has been baking.

We like to use their interest to help motivate them.

Do you want to bake cupcakes?

- Mm hmm.

- But we can't make a cupcake until we do this homework!

John and Jordan, both struggle 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.

- 11, 12.

- Leaning 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] [mother speaking Spanish] - 11, 12.

[upbeat music] - Hi friends.

My name is Bella and welcome to the Memphis Zoo.

I'm here with my very special friend, Caesar the emperor scorpion.

Scorpions are a member of the arachnid family.

Arachnids also includes spiders.

Scorpions have eight legs, six eyes, two pinchers, and one stinger.

Their stinger is located on the end of their tail, unlike a tarantula which has fangs that inject their venom.

Emperor scorpions can be found in Northwestern Africa near the Congo area.

They live in the hot, humid rainforest under the leaf litter on the forest floor.

Here at the zoo, Caesar loves to eat crickets.

These are injects his venom into his prey, and then the insides of the prey become like a smoothie, which he's able to slurp up.

At the zoo, Caesar's favorite treat is a cricket.

In the wild, he could be eating all sorts of things, including crickets but also locusts, cockroaches, and millipedes.

By doing this job, Caesar makes sure there aren't too many bugs in his home which helps keep it safe and clean.

Scorpions that live near us also perform the same job of keeping us safe and healthy and clean when it comes to pest bugs populations.

Scorpions are nocturnal which means that they hunt at night.

This allows them to keep safe from most of the predators that would be out there.

Some of the predators or things that eat scorpions are big birds like owls and smaller animals like foxes.

There are many species of scorpion in the world, including some that are right here in the United States.

Scorpions are known for their large pinchers and their big stinging tail, which they use to catch prey and avoid predators.

Caesar can't really hurt us with his venom.

His venom only works on little bugs.

Caesar's pinchers are really strong though, so he can clamp down pretty well if he's afraid.

Ouch.

Many people have a great fear of creepy crawlies, but in actuality, we don't have a whole lot to be afraid of.

They want nothing to do with this.

They're much smaller and they know that we're not worth it because we could probably hurt them worse than they could hurt us.

Now let's answer some common questions you may have about scorpions.

Because scorpions are related to spiders, a lot of people ask how many eyes do they have?

Well, spiders may have eight, but most scorpions have six.

You may have heard that scorpions are glow in the dark.

And this was actually kind of true.

So when the lights are out, and we have a special black light, our scorpion does glow.

So they glow in what's called the UV spectrum.

which is a special kind of light that we as humans can't see, but lots of birds can see it, which means that our scorpion would be excellent prey to some birds that are awake at night.

People often ask if scorpions are venomous or poisonous or both, and there is a big distinction between being venomous and being poisonous.

Our scorpion is venomous, because he injects his venom into his prey.

Something that is poisonous has to be touched or licked in order to hurt you.

A lot of people are curious about how long a scorpion can live, and they can actually live a pretty long time.

And for a scorpions are going to live seven to eight years.

That's a pretty long time for such a small creature.

A lot of people also ask how many babies a scorpion can have.

And the truth is that it depends on the type of scorpion you're talking about.

Emperor scorpions usually have anywhere from nine to 12 babies.

Tarantu;as and other spiders like eggs, while scorpions will actually give birth to their babies.

Those babies then crawl on top of their back and stay there until they're big and healthy enough to go out on their own.

Can you imagine carrying around nine babies on your back for a whole month?

You might be wondering, how does the scorpion communicate?

Well, they don't really make a lot of sound, but they do have extra special hairs on their arms and legs, and they use those hairs to feel the world around them, just like their cat or dog might feel using their whiskers.

Scorpions can also sense vibrations in the ground.

So they don't exactly hear like us, but they can feel when things are walking around.

So they know when something is going to be near to them.

Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about my friend, Caesar, an emperor scorpion.

and we'll see you next time.

Bye, everyone!

[birds chirping] [rain falling] [happy music] ♪ Achichiwa, achichiwa, achichiwawa ♪ ♪ Achichiwa, achichiwa, achichiwawa ♪ - Hi everybody, my name is Arielle and I am a teaching artist with the New Victory Theater.

My art form is theater, and I am reporting live from Rockaway Beach, Queens.

I'm also joined by two assistant teaching artists, Puck and Fiona.

Welcome.

We're so happy that you're here to join us today.

Today, we are going to play a game called Chichiwa, and chichiwa is a game that allows us to warm up our bodies and our voices.

And we can get really silly and we can play.

We'll discover new things about our bodies and voices, and we'll do a lot of playing.

Let's begin!

In this activity, we'll do a call and response.

So I will say and do something and then you will follow.

I'll do everything two times.

Join me on the second time.

I'm going to teach you a series of commands or cues.

So when I say a word, you do something.

First one.

When I say attention, you take your feet, put them together, and salute.

Make a very serious face.

Let's try that two times.

Join me on the second time.

Attention!

Attention!

Great job.

Next one is position.

For position, we take our arms and we put them out in front of us like this.

Let's try that twice.

Position!

Position!

Great.

Now we're ready to add in our chichiwa.

When I say chichiwa, you say the words chichiwa in a silly voice and you spin around.

So if your arms are still out, you spin with your arms out.

If your arms are by your side, you do it by your side.

Let's try it from the top or the beginning.

Attention!

Attention!

Position!

Position!

♪ Achichiwa, achichiwa, achichiwawa ♪ ♪ Achichiwa, achichiwa, achichiwawa ♪ That was great.

I think you're ready for more.

So if our arms are out, our next command is arms bent!

Arms bent!

[upbeat music] - Hi, My name is Fabio and this is my friend, Piggy.

Hi, Piggy.

How do you feel today?

- Hi, Fabio.

Hi friend.

Today, I feel happy.

- Why are you feeling happy Piggy?

- I feel happy because people want to talk about our favorite topic, feelings.

- That's right.

I feel happy too.

I like to meet with my friends and learn about feelings with all of you.

Piggy, please remind me, what's a feeling?

- Sure.

Feelings are the reactions and sensations that you're experiencing your body when something happens to you.

- Thank you, Piggy.

Now I remember.

We can experience different feelings like sad, angry, or happy, right?

- Yes.

And many more.

But how about we show our friends what they can do to feel better when you're feeling sad or angry.

- That's a great idea, Piggy.

So what can I do to feel better when they get sad or angry?

- Sometimes when we're sad or angry, we need a quiet place to go to, take a break and calm our bodies.

In school, we call it the cozy corner.

- Hmm.

How about if I create my cozy corner here in my house?

- That's a great idea.

Hmm.

Remember, in order to create your cozy corner, you need to pick a place that you feel most comfortable in.

It could be your living room, your bedroom, or your parents' bedroom.

- Hmm.

Let me think.

How about if I create the cozy corner here in my living room?

- That's a great idea.

Now let's think about the things that you could put in your cozy corner to help you feel better when you're angry?

For example, you could pick your favorite toys, stuffed animals, and even books.

- Oh, Piggy, I like stuffed animals.

I have two.

I have a unicorn and I have a dog.

I like to squeeze my unicorn when I'm sad, and I can put her right here.

I like to hug my dog when I'm feeling angry.

And I feel much better then after that.

And I will put it right here.

And I also have a ball that I could squeeze and breathe at the same time when I'm angry, like this.

I have some books that I like to read, and maybe I can put some pictures here.

I think I'm done.

I like my cozy corner, Piggy.

- Those are great ideas.

It looks great.

I really like it too.

So friends, remember, every time that you feel angry or sad you could come to your cozy corner, hug your stuffed animals, take a breath in and out, and relax.

- Thank you, Piggy.

So friends ask an adult to help you organize your cozy corner in your house.

You can use books, toys, or stuffed animals to help calm your body when you get angry or sad.

Remember, use your cozy corner to take a break when you need it.

I helped this idea help you to feel better.

See you soon.

Bye, Piggy!

- Bye!

- Bye, friends!

- Bye, friends, bye!
