- [Announcer] Ready to learn.

- [All] Hi.

- [Announcer] It's time to share a story.

- Sshh.

- Read and write.

- Let's read it back.

- [Announcer] Discover science, sing.

♪ Some where.

- Play, and so much more.

- Cookies.

- Very good.

- [Announcer] Stay tuned for lessons and activities.

- We're gonna start making some words, isn't that fun?

[upbeat music] - [Announcer] Funding for this program was provided by the JPB Foundation.

- Hi, I'm Eileen Robinson from Reycraft Books and today we'll be reading, "Two Wool Gloves," by Bo Jin and illustrated by Li Li.

A big snowstorm is coming and it's going to get cold and a family of squirrels need to find shelter quick.

But what happens when all the shelter is taken by other animals?

Well, this family of squirrels get warm, and fast, let's take a look.

A big snow storm was coming and the squirrel family needed a warm shelter.

Father squirrel set off to find a warm and cozy tree home for mother squirrel and their five babies.

He looked and looked and finally found a hole in a tall tree.

But, when he peeked inside a deep voice grumbled, - [Bear] "This is my tree."

It's a big black bear.

Father squirrel frowned and went to search somewhere else.

He looked and looked and finally found a hole in a short tree, but when he peeked inside a high voice squeaked.

- [Hedgehog] "This is my tree."

It was a spiky little hedgehog.

Father squirrel frowned and went to search somewhere else.

Father squirrel went on through the snow.

He looked and looked, but he couldn't find any shelter his feet were almost frozen.

Suddenly he stepped on something soft.

He swept off the snow with his fluffy tail, it was a wool glove.

A child must have lost this glove, father squirrel thought.

- [Squirrel] "The child won't be looking for this glove in the snowstorm," father squirrel said to himself, "My family can use it to stay warm."

There was just enough room in the glove for mother squirrel and the five babies.

Father squirrel wanted to get into the glove too, but it was too crowded, he had to stay outside in the cold.

The wind howled and more snow piled on the ground.

The five baby squirrels snuggled against their mother.

They stayed cozy and warm.

[page rustling] Father squirrel curled up in front of the glove trying to shield himself from the cold.

The snow and wind blew harder and harder.

Suddenly, father squirrel looked up and saw a boy standing in front of him.

The boy was bundled up in a warm coat, but he was wearing only one glove.

Father squirrel knew why the boy was there.

- [Boy] "Hey, you found my glove," the boy said, "Thanks for taking such good care of it for me."

Father squirrel felt terrible for having taken the boys glove, but his family needed a place to keep warm.

Oh no.

[page rustling] As the boy bent down to fetch his glove little faces peered out.

- [Boy] "Oh, I see," the boy said, "You need the glove for your family."

- The little boy saw that father squirrel was shivering, the snow was coming down harder, so the boy took off his other glove and placed it gently on the ground, then he smiled and turned to walk home, his hands in his pockets.

- [Squirrel] "Thank you," father squirrel shouted as the boy disappeared into the storm, "We'll never forget you."

The end.

I hope you enjoyed that story.

You know, there are so many objects that we take for granted every day.

Who could've imagined that a glove, that we wear in the winter time, could house a squirrel and his family and keep them from freezing in the winter, keep them nice and warm?

What objects do you have around you, and what other uses do you think they might have?

Make a list and see what you can come up with.

Thank you so much for listening.

- Hi friends, Andrew here, and it's time for a song.

How about, "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," it's a favorite of mine and maybe yours too, but it's okay if you don't know the song, I'll help you follow along.

Ready to sing, let's go.

♪ Take me out to the ball game ♪ Take me up with the crowd ♪ Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack ♪ ♪ I don't care if I never get back ♪ ♪ Let me root, root, root, for the home team ♪ ♪ If they don't win it's a shame ♪ ♪ For it's 1, 2, 3 strikes, you're out ♪ ♪ At the old ball game You hit a home run with that song.

Now, did you notice the words here I highlighted in yellow?

What letter do they all end with?

Does that letter have a sound in the word?

What does that letter do to the vowel sound in the word?

Share your good thinking with a family member and I'll see you again soon.

[upbeat music] - Hello everyone, my name is Carissa, I'm also known as Miss Berliner, and I'm a kindergarten to second grade reading coach with the Universal Literacy Initiative for the New York City Department of Education.

I'm going to do some foundational reading practice with you today.

Today, we're gonna talk all about blends.

So what is a blend?

Well, it's two consonants that appear next to each other in a word and the sounds that both letters stand for blend together.

So let's take a look at some S blends.

Sc-sca, sk-ska, sm-smm, sn- snn, sp-spa, st-st, sw-swa.

So now let's take a look at some words and we're gonna notice the little difference when there is a blend.

Sit, skits, and you can read along with me, sell, smell, nap, snap, pot, spot, top, stop, great job.

Now let's take a look at some l blends.

Bl-bul, cl-cul, fl-fal, gl-gul, pl-pul and let's read some words.

Back, black, cap, clap, pan, plan, lip, slip, flip.

Excellent job.

The next set of blends are called r blends, and again, when r, and another consonant appear together in a word the sounds that both letters stand for are blended together.

Br-bur, cr-cur, dr-dur, fr-fur, gr-gur, pr-pur, tr-tur.

Let's read some words.

Bad, Brad, cab, crab, rip, drip, fog, frog, grin, print, tuck, truck.

Okay, everyone.

Now let's warm up our ear muscles.

I will say two words and I want you to repeat the two words then you will say the beginnings blend sound that you hear.

For example, I'm gonna say slowly and slippery, then you will repeat, slowly and slippery and then say the sounds of the beginning blend, sl.

Let's try some more.

Front, frozen, you say it, front, frozen.

And what's the beginning blend, fr.

Clever, clumsy.

Clever, clumsy, cl.

Let's try another one.

Stapler, sticky.

What's the beginning blend, st. And last one, brauts, brights, br, yeah.

Okay, so we're gonna do one more thing to warm up our ear muscles.

I will say a word, you will repeat the word, then we're going to segment, or break it apart into all the sounds we hear in the word.

So even though the sounds of two consonants can blend together when they are next to each other, they are still two separate sounds.

Okay, let me show you some pictures to go along with the words.

All right, say flute.

Let's count the sounds in flutes.

Fa-lu-oo-t, okay.

Next word is stem, stem.

Let's count the sounds.

S-te-eh-um, four sounds.

Say trim, trim.

Ta-rr-eh-mm, four sounds.

Flap, flap.

Fa-le-aa-pa, four sounds.

Drip, da-rr-eh-pa, drip.

And the last one, snow.

Say snow.

Let's count the sounds.

Ss-na-oo, three sounds.

Okay, now I'm going to need you to go and get something to write with, and write on, a pencil and a piece of paper, perhaps.

I will sing the "ABC Song" and by the time I finish I hope you are back.

Ready?

♪ A, B, C, D, E, F, G ♪ H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P ♪ Q, R, S, T, U, V ♪ W, X, Y, and Z ♪ Now I know my ABCs ♪ Next time won't you sing with me ♪ Are you back, are you ready, you got something to write with and write on?

Great, great.

Okay, I want you to spell the word flip.

We can count the sounds.

Fa,ll,eh, pa, four sounds.

Write, flip.

Tell me how to spell it now.

Great.

F-L-I-P, great, flip.

Now, I want you to change just one letter to make it the word slip.

What letter do we have to change?

Yes, we have to change F and how do we spell slip?

S-L-I-P, great, all right, ready for the next one.

Change one letter to make the word clip.

Which letter are we going to change to make the word clip?

Yeah, the S. Can you write it?

How do we spell that?

C-L-I-P, clip, great.

And the last one, let's listen very carefully.

Clap, what do I need to change to make it the word clap?

So good.

That vowel sound.

Spell it for me.

C-L-A-P, good job.

All right.

Excellent work.

Okay, so now I want you to listen to this fun poem that I have for us.

It is called, "Smart Little Spider," "Smart Little Spider."

Ready, and this poem is special because it has a lot of words with blends in it so we can get some practice.

What a smart spider you are, you spin your web up very far in the corner way up there, I don't see you, I don't care!

You carefully choose a good spot, playing around, you are not.

Start your drag line, swing on down, spin that web around and around!

When you are hungry the trap is set, your next meal is coming, so you do not fret!

What a smart spider you are with a big grin, you just had an amazing din-din!

Slurp!

Excellent work.

So, did you see any blends in here?

Why don't we just take a look at this first part up here?

Do you a word with a blend?

Yes, I see S-M in smart, and S-B in spider, S-P in spider.

Good work, I'm gonna underline that.

There we go.

Do you see any more anywhere?

Yeah, the words spot, S-P, spot.

Any more?

Slurp, oh I heard someone say that, yes, slurp, that's a fun one.

Slurp, S-L, sl.

Great work today, everyone.

So, today our focus was consonant blends.

You did such a great job listening for the sound, reading words with blends, and writing words with blends.

Blends are in so many words that you read in books and that you have to spell in your stories.

Always be on the lookout for words with blends.

Your teacher might be talking about this with you this week.

You might be doing this now in your remote learning work.

I'm going to tell you one fun way you can continue the work you did today.

You can go on a scavenger hunt inside.

Try to find things that have beginning blends in them.

Here, I found this blue bandana.

The blend is bl, in blue.

So I hope you enjoyed today's learning activities and see you soon.

[upbeat music] [intense music] - [Narrator] He who serves.

- Help, help, no, no.

[crashing into rock] Aah, oh-oh.

- [Narrator] He questions.

- Have a what?

[car engine whirring] - [Narrator] He investigates.

- Hmm, what does this button do?

Aaaahhh!

- [Narrator] "Super Grover 2.0," he shows up.

[upbeat easy music] [chickens clucking] On a farm in the middle of farmland someone is facing- [horse neighing] A whole stack of trouble.

- Help, help.

- Aaahhhh, oh, oh.

- Oh, Super Grover 2.0, I'm so glad you've showed up.

- I always do.

Now, what seems to be the problem little lamb.

Sheep.

- You're having a problem with sheep?

- No, I am a sheep and I lost my knitting needle.

- Well, that is no problem, I will simply unleash my powers of observation to find it.

Ah-ha, there it is right there in your hoof.

No need to thank me all in a days work for Super Grover 2.0.

- No-no-no-no-no-no, Super Grover 2.0, my other knitting needle.

I need two knitting needles to finish my sweater.

I dropped one of them in this haystack.

So, the question is, how do you find a knitting needle in a haystack?

Oh, my Super Grover 2.0 senses are tingling.

- Hay fever?

- No, I must observe this situation more closely.

- Oh.

- Stand back.

- All right.

- Aaaahhhh!

Oh, ow, oh, ow.

- Super Grover.

- Oh, ow, oh, ow.

- Are you all right?

- Ah, oh, Finding that knitting needle in a haystack is like trying to find a needle in, something that is very hard to find a needle in.

- Oh no, oh no.

- Ah, oh yes, ah, but do not worry little lamb.

- Sheep.

- Yep, whatever.

It is time to unleash the power of technology!

- Technology?

- Yes, my cute little doobs, let me just check my utility sock.

[items in sock rustling] Ah-ha, I shall use my super bull horn.

- You keep that in your sock?

- It is no wonder I have bunions.

All right, knitting needle, you are surrounded, come out with your hands up!

- A, Super Grover, a knitting needle can't hear you, you see it doesn't have any ears.

It also doesn't have any hands to put hands to put up, see.

- Let me observe.

- Ah.

- Ow, hey, it is very hard to observe that knitting needle, it is too shiny.

- Well, that's because it's made of metal.

- Hmm, then what we need is some kind of metal picky-uppy thingy.

Come on sock, don't let me down.

[items in sock rustling] How did this get in there, this is not a super tool.

[zinging] - Yes, it is.

- Hey, I think that's a magnet.

- Whatever it is it is sticking to my helmet.

- Right, magnets are attracted to metal and your helmet is made of metal.

- So?

- So, my knitting needle is made of metal.

I wonder if the magnet will be attracted to.

Ah!

[crashing] Ah, knitting needle.

- Wait a minute, I just thought of something, maybe this magnet can help us find that knitting needle.

- Ah, Super Grover, you're a genius.

- It is time to unleash the power of investigation.

Magnet, do your stuff, [smooching magnet].

[clanging to magnet] Voila, here is your knitting needle.

- Um, that's not a knitting needle, Super Grover.

- Huh?

- Oh, my cow bell, I've been looking all over for that.

Thank you, oh, you're a real hero.

- Oh, my pleasure.

- Uh, I was talking to that magnet [laughing].

- Maybe this magnet is only good for finding cowbells.

- No, Super Grover, a cow bell is made of metal too.

- Oh right, come on magnet, be your attractive self.

[smooching magnet] [bucket crashing] Behold, your knitting needle.

- Nope.

[hooves clomping] - Oh, my feed bucket and just in time for din-din.

Thanks, oh great one.

- You are welcome.

- I was talking to the magnet.

- This magnet only works on bells and buckets.

- No, Super Grover, the bucket is metal too.

- But I tried and I tried to use the magnet, but it is just not helping to find the- Ah, my knitting needle, you found my knitting needle.

Oh, thank you, thank you.

- I know, I know, you were talking to the magnet, right?

- No, I am talking to you, thanks, Super Grover 2.0, now I can finish my sweater.

[needle zinging] - [Narrator] And so our cute and fuzzy hero has discovered that magnets are tools that attract metal.

- It is true.

[hay crunching] [tractor clunking] - Wah.

- You found my tractor, thank you, thank you, thank you.

- All in a days work for Super Grover 2.0.

- I was talking to the magnet.

[tractor engine puttering] - Of course, whoa, whoa, wait up, wahaaaaa.

- [Narrator] In the peaceful countryside, one lone horse is taking a ride on the road to trouble.

- Oh, I'm not taking a ride at all.

This cart [grunts] won't move.

Help, help!

- [Super Grover] Have no fear, I am coming to the rescue!

- Who said that?

[Super Grover yelling] Super Grover!

You showed up.

- No, he did not.

Super Grover 2.0 did.

Now, what seems to be the problem?

- I am trying to take a ride in this cart, but it won't move.

- Ah hah!

So the question we must ask is, what will get this cart to move?

- Yep, that's a question all right.

- It is time now to unleash the power of observation, vation, vation, vation.

- Huh?

- I will look closely at the cart.

- Ah.

- Observing, observing.

Ah hah!

- Ah what?

- These look like stick thingys at the front of this cart.

- So?

- So, obviously these stick thingys are some sort of switch to turn the cart on.

Switch on!

Oh!

I think we blew a fuse.

- You know, I'm thinking.

Maybe something's supposed to be in front of this here cart.

And maybe those stick thingys are to pull it with.

- Pull, hm.

Something to pull it.

No problem.

Be right back.

Here you are.

This little worm is just what you need to move this cart.

- A worm?

- Precisely.

Now go ahead wormy, pull the cart.

Come on, come on.

Put some muscle into it.

That's it, that's it.

Use your backbone.

Pull the cart.

- Something tells me that that worm doesn't have enough force to pull this cart.

- The worm needs fours?

I know where to get some of those.

Okay little wormy, here are your fours.

Now move the cart.

Come on.

- No, no, no.

I'm not talking about numbers.

Force means the strength that you use to move something.

We need something with more force.

- More force, ah.

That means that it's time to activate the power of investigation.

Be right back.

Here we are, um hm.

- A chicken?

- Yes.

You see, this chicken is bigger than the worm.

Ergo, I predict it will have more force.

Go ahead, use the force, chicken.

[chicken clucking] What are you doing?

No, chicken, do not eat the worm!

Head for the hills, wormy.

- I can't believe this.

- There chicken.

Now go, and may the force be with you.

Pull!

[chicken clucking] Well, the cart is moving a little bit.

- Yeah, but not very much.

What happened?

- [Super Grover] Behold, the chicken laid an egg.

Now she must go on maternity leave.

- Oh, I guess we need even more force than a chicken to pull this cart.

- Worry not, your problem will be solved anon.

The force is strong in this one.

- A pig?

- Yes!

The pig is bigger than the chicken.

So I think the big pig will have more force than this little chicken.

[pig oinking] [chicken clucking] - Chicken, pig.

Makes good horse sense.

- You are wiggly one.

There!

Now pull pig, pull!

[pig oinking] Something tells me this pig is oinked out.

- No, we'll never get this cart to move.

- Yes we can.

We just need something even bigger than a pig.

Like a horse.

Hey, you are a horse.

- Well, true.

But I was kinda hoping to ride in the cart.

- Well then, we just need something else bigger than a pig to pull the cart.

- Say, you're bigger than a pig.

Maybe you could pull the cart.

- Me?

Well, I am a force to be reckoned with, I suppose.

All right, I will try to use my own force to pull it.

Excuse me, pig.

[pig oinking] - All right, Super Grover 2.0, giddy up.

[Super Grover grunting] It's working.

It's working!

You do have the force to pull the cart.

Yee haw!

- [Narrator] And so our superhero has learned that it takes a lot of force to pull something big and heavy, like a cart.

- This has been a very moving experience.

- Giddy up, Super Grover.

[upbeat music] - Hi, artists, my names Juanita, I'm an artist, a teaching artist, with Studio in a School.

Today, we're going to work with some objects I found around my home.

Just look at some of the things I found.

I noticed that this toy has a top, a bottom, and sides, we call this a three-dimensional object, or 3D.

I wonder what you notice about this box?

You're right, it has a top, a bottom, and sides.

What do you think is the difference between this box and this paper?

Which one do you think is two dimensional?

You're right, the box has a top, bottom, and sides.

Today, we're going to explore how we can make art with three-dimensional objects we find at home.

A three-dimensional work of art is called, a sculpture.

Let's gather our materials.

Today you will need to find and collect 3D objects from your home to work with.

This may be recycled, and repurposed 3D items like shells, old keys, paper clips, rubber bands, small toys, Popsicle sticks, stirring sticks, straws, spools, wood scraps, corks, bottle cap, lids, string, yarn, ribbons, feathers, cotton balls, Q-tips, tinfoil, hair curlers, fabric, cardboard rolls, egg cartoons, plastic cups, or anything else you can find.

You can keep your collection in a bag or a box.

You will also need a piece of cardboard to use as a base.

This can be a piece caught from any box.

A cereal box is a good option.

You can ask a trusted adult to help you find your objects.

Let's get started.

Let's look closely at the objects that I found.

How do I know these are three-dimensional?

They each have many sides.

Are there any that are not three-dimensional?

Hmm, this fabric piece, and aluminum foil are flat, but I can still use them.

Maybe I can make them three-dimensional.

I'm gonna try folding my aluminum foil, see if it works.

Try rolling this piece of fabric and leaning it, no, let's see, maybe I can do this.

Okay, now my flat pieces are three-dimensional.

What do you feel I can do with these interesting objects?

I wonder what ideas you may have?

Even though my objects are three-dimensional they're not very tall.

I wonder how can I make them taller?

Oh, I know, I'm going to build with them.

I'm going to sort them first before I build.

How can I organize these to build with them?

I noticed that some of them have the same shape.

So, I'm going to organize them by shape.

[items clunking] There, I organized some of my objects by shape.

Here's some objects that are circles, here's some objects that are cylinders, and here's some objects that have a rectangular shape.

Now, I'm going to organize my objects by size.

[items scrapping on table] Let's see small, and larger.

[items clunking on table] Large, small.

Now I'm gonna get my cardboard piece to use as a base.

A base is the home for our sculpture a space to build on top of.

I wonder how can I build with my objects in an interesting way?

Let's try some ideas.

To make my objects into something taller I'm going to stack them.

[items clanking to table] Ooh, this stack is not very strong, it's a little wobbly.

I wonder what can I do to make it stronger?

Hmm, maybe, I can put my wider pieces on the bottom to make a foundation for my sculpture.

I can also look inside my box.

That's not gonna work, let's see.

I wonder what can I add next?

Hmm, maybe I can not more flat lids in-between these other pieces, so let's try that, okay.

Let's see, I'm gonna look in my box.

I found these two lids and I'm just gonna try, maybe trying it here.

Let's just, actually wait, what if, ah, no, that's not right, let's just try this.

Let's see how well that will work.

I'm gonna put this in here.

I'll be careful so I don't knock everything down.

Hmm, I want it taller so let me try this, and then try this, what do you think?

And, oh, see if it will stay.

Look, my objects are becoming a tall tower.

Hmm, you see.

I have these long flat pieces here and I wonder what can I do with them?

Maybe I can lean them on my tower.

Let's see, where can I lean them, oh, I have an idea let's try this.

Ah, let's see, they need to hold and we don't want anything to fall.

I want to put one on top of the tower how can I make this balance?

I have to put it in the middle, but let's try something just for fun.

Oh, it stayed, but let's try it in the middle for more balancing.

I don't want my tower to collapse.

I wonder if I can add another piece on top of this craft stick?

Maybe I can put it in the middle.

Let's see, I'm gonna try something.

I'm gonna try something light, ooh, that will work, let's try this.

Ah, put it in the middle.

Hmm, maybe if I put another one on the side too, it's a balance, like a seesaw, let's try this.

I think I have another spool here.

Let's see if we can try that and if it will stay.

Ooh, I think it will fall so let's just keep this one here and keep it in the middle.

Ah, let's try this, ooh, wobbly, it's not gonna stay so, let's try another thing.

We're gonna put this in here and maybe I can find something really light that I can put on top and try to balance that.

So I'm just gonna search in my box.

It's gotta be something really light.

[items rustling in box] Oh, I just found something here, it's a Q-tip.

Oh, and maybe I can put it on the other side too.

Oh, here, like a seesaw, something really light.

Let's try this.

I'll be very careful.

Wow, look, I balanced my objects.

I made a tall sculpture with my objects.

Now I'm going to move around my sculpture to look at it from different angles.

Does your sculpture look different from the sides?

What do you notice if we look at it from above?

You can ask a trusted adult with a camera to take a picture of your sculpture, you can also draw it.

I really like the way this structure is balanced.

First, I sorted my objects by shapes.

I have cylinders, I remember having circles, then I sorted things by size to have taller objects, smaller objects.

I started by trying to find a way of building by using a foundation for my sculpture and then stacking my pieces, but then I wanted to add something more.

And in-between these pieces, I slide this lid here, and here, and then I added this to make it taller.

I also added these Popsicle sticks here and I'm leaning them against my tall sculpture.

I also wanted to see how things will balance.

So, on top of this black lid here I added these craft stick, or Popsicle stick here.

I added this spool on top and then another thing too that I remember doing was to kind of like do a seesaw thing, I added these two Q-tips and that's how I made my sculpture.

Now it's your turn.

How will you build and balance with three-dimensional objects to make a sculpture?

Have fun artists and I'll see you next time.

[guitar strumming] 7?

What do we count to?

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ♪ 8 Friends, I have an instrument I wanna show you.

Do you know what this is?

Yeah, it's a glockenspiel.

Can you say the word, glockenspiel?

Good, it's a German word and it means the playing of the bells.

Listen, does it sound like bells?

[glockenspiel dinging] It does sound like bells.

Did anyone think it was called a xylophone?

You were so close.

The only reason it's not called a xylophone is because this one, the bars, these are called the bars what are they made out of?

Metal, good, yes, they're made out of metal and on a xylophone the bars are always made out of wood.

Now, you know the difference between a xylophone and a glockenspiel.

Xylophone is made out, wood, and the glockenspiel is made out of, metal.

We're gonna play a little listening game.

I'm gonna play a song that I think you all know on the glockenspiel and you figure out what song it was.

Do you have your listening ears on, your super-mega listening ears?

If you don't put them on, good.

First song, here we go.

Listen and if you figured it out you can sing along.

[glockenspiel dinging] What was it?

"Row, Row, Row Your Boat."

let's sing it together.

♪ Row, row your boat gently down the stream ♪ ♪ Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily ♪ ♪ Life is but a dream Very good, I'm going to play another song put your listening ears on.

[glockenspiel dinging] You're right, "Itsy Bitsy Spider."

Let's sing it together.

♪ The itsy bitsy spider ♪ Walked up the water spout ♪ Down came the rain and washed the spider out ♪ Good, next one, ready?

[glockenspiel dinging] We all know this one, good job.

"Twinkle, Twinkle," or "ABCs," or there's a third one, "Baa Baa Black Sheep," they all have the same melody.

Let's sing "Twinkle, Twinkle," or the first part of it.

♪ Twinkle, twinkle little star ♪ How I wonder what you are But it's also the "ABC Song."

♪ A, B, C, D, E, F, G ♪ H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P Good, what's the name of this instrument again?

It's a glockenspiel.

All right, friends, for our next and last song, and activity we need, whee, something like this.

It can be a scarf, it can be a towel, a T-shirt, a piece of fabric, a napkin, it could even be a paper towel.

Do you have any of that at home?

Yeah, go find something that you can make into silly shapes, that you can maybe throw in the air, that you can hide behind your back.

This is one of my favorite songs.

It's called, "A Little Wheel."

I'll sing it for you and I'm gonna move my scarf and can you try to move your scarf, or T-shirt, or towel, like mine?

Here, it goes like this.

♪ There's a little wheel turning in my heart ♪ ♪ There's a little wheel turning in my heart ♪ ♪ In my heart, in my heart ♪ There's a little wheel turning in my heart.

♪ Do you have a little wheel turning in your heart?

I do too, ah, we all have wheels, but we can change the words.

♪ There's a bird flying in the sky ♪ ♪ There's a bird flying in the sky ♪ Beautiful.

♪ In the sky ♪ In the sky ♪ There's a bird flying in the sky ♪ ♪ There's a scarf wrapped around my neck ♪ I look so pretty.

♪ There's a scarf wrapped around my neck ♪ And you look pretty.

♪ My neck ♪ My neck ♪ There's a scarf wrapped around my neck ♪ ♪ There's a window looking very, yellow for me ♪ ♪ My window looks very yellow ♪ I see the world, I see the world ♪ ♪ My window it looks very yellow.

♪ ♪ There's a mountain, very, very high ♪ ♪ There's a mountain, it's very, very high ♪ ♪ Full of snow, full of snow ♪ My mountain is full of snow There's so many things we can do.

Maybe we can make an animal.

Do you know about this animal that slithers on the floor?

A snake.

Let me turn this scarf into a snake.

♪ There's a snake slithering on the floor ♪ Mine is also in my plants ♪ Snake slithering on the floor ♪ ♪ On the floor, on the plant ♪ There's a snake slithering on the floor ♪ ♪ There's a scarf flying in the sky ♪ ♪ There's a scarf flying in the sky ♪ Woo!

♪ In the sky, in the sky.

♪ There's a scarf flying in the sky ♪ One more.

♪ There's a hat on top of my head ♪ ♪ There's a hat on top of my head ♪ ♪ It keeps me warm, keeps me warm ♪ ♪ My hat is on top of my head Friends, do you think this hat keeps me warm?

I don't think so either 'cause this ear isn't even covered, this one is.

Thank you for singing with me.

You can keep playing with your scarves, your T-shirts, or your towels.
