- Hello, friends, my name is Carrie, and I am a teaching artist from the New York City Children's Theater.

Welcome to my home here in Staten Island, New York.

Do you like things that move?

Do you ever look out into the water and think, what kind of boat is that, or, what job does that boat do?

I know I do, which is why I am so excited to read to you the book, "Harbor," written and illustrated by Donald Crews.

Now, as we read this book together, I'm going to explain to you some words you might not know.

I'm also gonna ask you to look at the pictures and tell me what you notice.

I know I'm far away, but don't worry, I'm listening, so feel free to shout out your answer.

All right, are you ready?

Let's read "Harbor," written and illustrated by Donald Crews.

Let's take a look at the cover.

Wow, there's so many things to see.

"Harbor."

What do you see in this picture of the harbor?

Yes, I see a boat, too, and a bridge and land.

That's because a harbor is a safe place for a boat to go to dock, which is kind of like parking, and to load and unload the things it's carrying.

Usually you don't find big waves here.

A harbor.

Here's another picture of a harbor.

What else do you notice in this picture, what's the same, what's different?

That's right, I see more boats, too.

Wharves, docks, piers and warehouses.

Wow.

What are you noticing in this picture?

Yeah, I see lots of different things.

I see a wharf.

A wharf is a place where a ship can go to load and unload the things it's carrying.

So I see that there.

I see docks and piers where boats can go.

A port for ships, boats, and cargo.

A port in the harbor, a safe place for boats to load and unload the things that they are carrying.

Ferry boats shuttle back and forth from shore to shore.

They do not need to turn around.

The back becomes the front.

I'll say that again, the back becomes the front, that is so crazy.

And I love ferries, because here in Staten Island where I live, if we wanna get to the city, we actually take the Staten Island Ferry, which is orange, where I'm from.

And when I take it, I go to the city, and then it brings me back home.

Lighters, tankers, tugboats, barges, and freighters, move in and out, wow.

Look at all the boats on this page.

What do you see?

Do you know any?

I learned that a tanker is a ship that has an important job of carrying and delivering oil and gas.

Which boat do you think is the tanker?

What about the barge?

Here's a hint, the barge has a flat bottom and it carries goods like freight, sand, and gravel.

Can you see the barge?

That's right, that's where it is, a flat bottom.

Very good.

Big boats, little boats.

I see a big boat right here and a little boat right here.

Long, low lying barges.

See how long it is?

And it's really low down to the water.

Fast police boats and slow moving lighters crowd the water.

So I see the police boat, but can you find the lighter?

I'll give you a hint.

The lighter is also a flat bottom boat.

Can you find the lighter?

That's right, right here.

And it has a really important job, get this.

The lighter helps ships unload and load the things they're carrying not at the port or the wharf, but in the water.

Crazy.

The tugboat is the busiest boat in the harbor.

Tugs push, tugs tow.

Let's all do that together.

Let's push and let's tow, which is like pulling.

Good job.

Tugs guide big boats to their docks.

Look at that big boat, and this little, teeny tugboat pulls or tugs this big boat to its safe place in the port, and out again.

Wow, that little tugboat has a very important job to do.

In the harbor, the fire boat is ready for an emergency.

What kind of emergencies do you think the fire boat takes care of?

I'll give you a hint.

What does the fire truck do?

That's right, it helps in emergencies with fires.

A fire boat does the same thing.

Or a celebration.

That's right, on the 4th of July, a fireboat also can shoot off fireworks.

Amazing.

The end.

"Harbor" by Donald Crews.

What are some things that you learned about?

Wow, interesting.

I know I learned something new.

I learned about the lighter.

The lighter is that flat bottom boat that helps ships load and unload the things they're carrying while in the water.

I never knew about that.

The book "Harbor" is a non-fiction book.

That means it's a true story.

This book gives us information and teaches us things that we might not have known before.

It's a little bit different than some of the books we read that have a character with feelings, a beginning, a middle, and an end.

So, I had an idea.

I was thinking, what if, what if the boats were like characters?

What if the boats had feelings and things to say?

Would you wanna play that with me?

Would you like to play, what if?

Oh, I'm so glad, okay, here we go.

Let's try it.

Let's pretend, let's pretend we are a tugboat.

Do you remember what the tugboat does?

That's right, it tows and pushes those really big boats in and out of the harbor safely.

Okay, let's pretend we are a tugboat.

How do you think the tugboat might feel?

Well, we know the job of the tugboat is to tug and to push the big boats in and out of the harbor safely.

So maybe the tugboat likes its job.

Maybe it's happy.

All right, let's try that, let's pretend we are a happy tugboat pulling and tugging our big boats into the harbor safely.

Ready to try that?

Okay, excellent, all right, let's put on our happy tugboat faces.

Oh, look at those big smiles.

And let's practice tugging our big boat through the harbor.

And we love this job, here we go.

[Carrie groaning] Yes, so strong.

Good job.

Now, what if as we were tugging this boat, the tugboat had something to say, like a character in a book?

Let's try it.

What's something our tugboat could say?

Did I hear, I love tugging this big boat?

I heard you, all right, let's try that, great idea.

Let's get on our happy faces.

Let's get our strong tugging ready.

And together we're gonna say, I love tugging this big boat.

Here we go, ready, one, two, three.

I love tugging this boat boat!

Take a bow, that was wonderful, good job.

Now let's imagine that maybe the tugboat has had a long day of tugging and pushing boats in and out of the harbor.

How might you feel after a long day of tugging and pulling and pushing those boats in and out of the harbor?

Wait.

Oh, maybe the tugboat might feel tired.

All right, let's try it this time.

Let's be a tired tugboat.

Let's tug that big boat in and out of the harbor safely as if we're tired, it's the last boat of the day.

Here we go.

[Carrie groaning] Good.

Now, what might the tugboat say?

Oh, that's interesting.

I'm so tired, can we be done already?

Great job, let's all try it.

Tired.

One, two, three.

[Carrie groaning] I am so tired, can we be done already?

Wow, that was great.

We can be a happy tugboat.

We could be a tired tugboat.

So we've come to the end of our video today, but what I would like you to do is maybe go back in the video.

Find one of the really cool boats that we learned about in "Harbor."

Can you give that boat feelings?

Can you think of what it might be like to be that boat?

Can you give that boat something to say?

Maybe the ferry.

Maybe a lighter or a tanker or a barge with the flat bottom.

Wow, you did so wonderfully today.

Thank you so much for playing with me.

Have a great day.

See you next time.

[upbeat music] - Hi there, I'm Erica, what are your names?

Nice to meet you, thanks for being here today.

We're reviewing some things you've already learned.

One thing you've learned is about final blends.

That's when consonant sounds are said really closely together that they blend at the end of a word.

Something else you've learned is about the ending ED.

ED at the end of an action word tells us that it happened already, it happened in the past.

You've already learned these things, but we're going to review them so that they really stick in your brain.

Before we get there, we need to warm up your ears.

We're going to do a listening activity.

So let's get ready, warm up those ears.

I'll say a word, and we're going to segment and count the sounds.

That means that we'll count how many sounds are in the word and then say what those sounds are.

Watch me first, and then you can join me.

The first word is cop.

Cop.

I'll use these circles inside these boxes to help me count those sounds.

Cuh, ah, puh.

Now I'll count.

Cuh, ah, puh, one, two, three.

Three sounds, and what were they?

Cuh, ah, puh, get the idea?

Let's try this one.

Crop.

Crop.

Cuh, ruh, ah, puh.

One, two, three, four, four sounds.

And the sounds were cuh, ruh, ah, puh.

Yes, okay, the next word is snack.

Snack.

Ss, nuh, ah, cuh, one, two, three, four sounds also.

Ss, nuh, ah, cuh were the sounds.

Now join me for this next one.

If you have little beads or little counters or beans or anything small, you can use that to help you, or you can just use your fingers.

Or watch me.

Our word is sack.

Sack.

Ss, ah, cuh.

How many sounds?

One, two, three, yep.

Ss, ah, cuh, great.

Try the word lit.

Lit.

Luh, ih, tuh.

Three sounds, luh, ih, tuh were the sounds, great.

Now our word is list.

List.

Luh, ih, ss, tuh.

Four sounds.

Luh, ih, ss, tuh, nice.

I think you might be ready to try some on your own.

Try the word bead.

Bead.

Count the sounds, how many?

Buh, ee, duh, three.

And the sounds were buh, ee, duh, yes.

Try bleed now.

Correct, buh, luh, ee, duh.

Four sounds, buh, luh, ee, duh.

Okay, try the word pump.

Pump.

Getting so fast.

Yes, it had four sounds.

Puh, uh, mm, puh.

Here's our last word, pup.

Pup.

Fantastic, three sounds, puh, uh, puh, great.

You're ready to review our final blends and our endings.

Your ears are very warmed up.

Remember how we blend and read words.

Watch this first example as I do it.

I'll say the sounds.

Eh, and here's our final blend, un, duh.

And I say them really quickly, un, duh.

Eh, un, duh, end.

And then I can add our ending, ED, end, ended, ended.

Ended means that it finished in the past.

It already happened.

Let's try that over here.

Buh, uh, put those two together.

Buh, zzz.

Buh, zzz, buzz.

And to say it already happened in the past, we can add our ED ending, buzzed.

Let's look at this word.

Cuh, ah, cah.

Here's our final blend, I'll say it quickly.

Mm, puh, cah, mm, puh, camp.

Camp.

In the past, camped.

I'll say these words again, and listen to the ED ending.

Ended.

Buzzed.

Camped.

In each word, the ED ending sounds differently.

Ended, ed.

Buzzed, camped.

Yep, you're ready to blend and read words with me.

Let's take a look at these words.

No, no, no, don't worry.

You can do it, you're professionals.

We're going to start with this first row, and we're going to blend the words just the way you saw me blend them.

Let's start right here.

Puh, ih, pih, cuh, picked, yeah, let's keep going.

Ruh, est, rest, rested.

Rested.

Luh, ast, last, lasted.

Puh, ah, pack, packed.

What did you notice about that row?

They all had the ED ending.

And what does that mean again?

All of these actions happened in the past.

Look at row two.

They also have the ED ending, so we can do it a little bit faster.

You got the hang of it now.

Fuh, ill, fill, filled.

List, list, listed.

Add, add, added.

Prompt, prompted, prompted, yeah.

In the third row, you've already learned these endings.

They're not ED, but you know these.

Dishes.

Moths.

Dresses.

Hatches, excellent.

Are you ready for a challenge?

Yes you are, you can do it.

These have a final blend, but they also have one at the beginning.

So these words have a beginning and final blend.

Brand.

Cramp.

Drift, drifted.

Ramps.

You ready for the sentences now?

Row five is a sentence.

The kids do, let's blend this one.

Crafts, craft, crafts, in class.

The kids do crafts in class, great.

Let's do the last sentence.

A long, there's our blend.

Sock makes a good cat.

Perfect.

I think you're ready to spell some words.

So I'm gonna clear my board here and get ready to spell some words.

So you're going to need a piece of paper or a notebook, or if you have a board like me, or anything that you can write on, and something to write with.

I'll say a word, and I'm going to help you out by placing the letters that you need to spell that word.

And we're going to add our ED ending.

The first word is tricked.

These are the letters we'll need.

Go ahead and spell it and then shout out the spelling.

Correct.

T R I-C-K spells trick.

And now we'll make it tricked.

How does the ED sound there?

Like a tuh, tuh, yes.

Here's the next word.

Tilt.

Tilt.

I'll put the letters up.

Shout out the spelling.

T-I-L-T.

Yes, it has that final blend.

Turn it into tilted.

Perfect.

Tricked means to try to fool someone.

And I couldn't fool you with tilted.

Tilted means to place something a little higher up on one side.

Here's our last word.

Filled, filled.

These are the letters you'll need.

Yes.

F-I-L-L, and then our ED ending, filled.

How did it sound here at the end, filled.

The ED had the duh sound, perfect.

I'm so proud of you, and you should be proud of yourself for remembering how to read words with the final blends and with the ED endings.

Come back next time to learn more and get your brain filled with so many great new learning.

See you next time.

[upbeat music] - [Instructor] Okay, so that's what happens in the morning.

What happens in the evening?

- Well, it's kind of like the same routine.

- When you hear the word routine, you might think, boring.

But routines help kids learn good habits.

For everything from healthy eating to doing homework.

To set up a routine, my family made a schedule together.

Some things like eating breakfast and brushing teeth we put on the schedule every day.

But we also plan for fun things to look forward to like family game night and a special treat each week.

Now my child knows what to expect each day.

[woman speaking in foreign language] Making our schedule was easy, and it's really made life better.

We pack lunches after dinner and pick out clothes before bed, so getting off to school the next morning is less hectic.

Following a routine at home has been great practice for following a routine at school.

Our schedule helps my child feel comfortable and confident.

That gives him the freedom to explore the world and learn new things.

And there's nothing boring about that.

[upbeat music] - Hi, everyone, my name's Norah, and I'm gonna show you how I like to be a scientist at home, and how you can be one, too.

Today I'm really excited because I found something.

I was looking through my closet and I noticed in the way back, this box.

Do you wanna know what's inside?

Okay, on the count of three, I'm gonna let it out.

Ready, one, two, three.

[children cheering] It's my bouncy ball collection.

Let's take a closer look and see what we notice about all the different balls I have.

So here's my collection of bouncy balls.

I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10 balls total in my collection.

Let's take a look and see some things we notice about these different balls.

The first thing I notice is that they're all a little bit different.

No two balls are exactly the same.

But they have some things in common.

All the balls are the same shape.

They're all a sphere.

I also notice that the balls are all different colors.

I also notice that there's some different sizes of balls.

I have this really big ball and I have this pretty tiny ball, and then I have a lot of balls that are in the middle.

I also notice that some of my balls are a little bit different texture than other balls.

They seem like they're maybe made of different materials.

The material something is made out of can change the way it acts.

So for my bouncing balls, I wonder if the material that it's made of will change how it rolls or how it bounces.

For instance, this ball is made out of styrofoam, which is really light.

But this ball is made out of kind of a rubbery material and it's a little bit heavier.

Noticing all the differences and similarities in the different bouncy balls I have has made me wonder.

I wonder which one can bounce the highest.

I know, we're going to do an experiment today and find out which one of my bouncy balls is the bounciest ball of them all.

To do this, I'm gonna need a piece of tape and somewhere to mark how high they bounce.

So I'm gonna use my wall right here.

But remember, ask a grown-up before putting tape on any surfaces in your house, just to make sure it's okay.

All right, so I'm gonna mark my starting point first, which I'm gonna have right here.

And I'm gonna use a marker to write start, just so I know that that's where every single ball is gonna start from.

And now I'm gonna drop the balls one at a time from here and then put a piece of tape on the wall where they bounce up to.

And then we can see which piece of tape is the tallest.

All right, let's start with ball number one, my blue baseball.

Holding it at the start, and I'm gonna drop it in three, two, one.

[upbeat music] I think it bounced right about here.

I'm gonna take my tape and put a mark right here.

And I'm gonna label each piece of tape so that I know which ball goes with which mark.

So I'm gonna write blue baseball.

Ball number two, my pink ball.

In three, two, one.

It bounced about right here.

Ball number three.

I'm gonna use my yellow ball.

I'm gonna drop it from the same starting point in three, two, one.

That one was kind of in between here.

Ball number four is gonna be my red and black ball.

All right, ready?

Three, two, one.

That one came really high, I think that was about right here.

Ball number five is my white ball.

Count with me, three, two, one.

That one was down here, I think.

Ball number six is my green swirly ball.

Okay, three, two, one.

Whoa, that one went really high, I think that was maybe around here.

Ball number seven is my spiky rainbow ball.

Okay, here we go.

In three, two, one.

Oh, that one was around here, I think.

Ball number eight is my big orange ball.

Okay, here we go.

I'm gonna hold it the same point, ready?

Three, two, one.

Oh, I think it came up to about here.

Let's try ball number nine, my green smiley face ball.

Okay, ready?

Three, two, one.

Ooh, that one was high, I think it was right around here.

And our last ball, our number 10 ball, is my purple light-up ball.

All right, it's the last one.

Let's see where this one stacks up to all the others.

Are you ready?

In three, two, one.

Ooh, that was maybe around here, I think.

Let's take a look at our results up close.

When I'm comparing my different ball bounces, I see that my white ball is pretty low.

It didn't go very high.

So that's probably my lowest bounce.

And then there's a lot of different colored balls in the middle, and then at the top, I have three bounces that are pretty similar.

I have my green smiley face ball, my green striped ball, and my black and red ball.

Some of my results were kind of close.

I wonder if there's a way that I can be more exact in figuring out how high each of these balls bounced.

I know, I'll use a science tool to help me measure the length, the height of each bounce.

I'll use a tape measure.

Have you ever used a tape measure or a ruler to measure the length of something?

When you use a tape measure, it has numbers on it that show you how long something is.

So we can tell exactly how high from the floor to our tape each of our balls bounced.

Let's take a look.

To measure the tape marks on my wall, I'm gonna take my tape measure.

And starting with the bottom where the zero is or before the numbers start, I'm gonna put that part on the floor.

And then I'm gonna look at the top number which is how many inches long something is.

And I'm gonna see which number when I pull it all the way out to the tape from the floor, which number is closest to the top of the tape line.

Let's measure how high the white ball bounced.

I'm gonna start on the floor with my tape measure and then pull it up, and look at where the top of the tape meets the tape measure and draw a line right over here.

It looks like it's above the nine, so I could count one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine inches plus a quarter of an inch.

So, white ball bounced nine and a quarter inches high.

To help me keep track of all my measurements, I'm going to make a chart.

I'm going to put the ball on one side, and then I'm going to put the height for its bounce on the other side, I'm gonna draw a line down the middle.

So my first ball that I measured was the white ball.

So I'll write white.

And the height was nine and one quarter inches.

So I'm gonna measure this purple tape right here, put this on the floor and then pull it all the way up.

And then what number do you think is closest to the top?

It looks like we have 17, and then we keep going and we have a half of another inch.

So my purple tape is 17 and a half inches off the floor.

Let's try the big orange one.

You do the same thing.

And now it looks like it's 19 and a quarter.

19 and a quarter inches.

Okay, what about this blue baseball?

Let's see.

That one's even higher, it looks like 20, 20, and almost 21, it's 20 and three quarters of an inch.

Let's see how high the rest of our balls bounced.

Okay, I'm gonna try the rainbow one next.

Let's see, I see 23 and a half at the top of the tape.

What about yellow?

It's a little bit higher.

It looks like it's two feet or 24 inches.

What about pink over here?

It's a little bit higher than that, it looks like it was 25 and three quarters, almost 26.

Okay, now let's try our three top bounces.

The green stripey one was 27.

The black and red one was 28.

And then the green smiley ball was 28 and almost a quarter.

Wow, that's really close.

But the green smiley ball was just a quarter of an inch taller than the bounce from the black and red ball.

Good thing I had my tape measure to figure out exactly how high each of those bounces was.

Let's check in on our chart.

Here you can see that I finished filling in every single one of my balls on the left side, and I wrote down how high each bounce measured on the right side in inches.

So I can see and compare the numbers from nine and a quarter inches for my shortest bounce to 28 and a quarter inches for my tallest, longest bounce.

And so the winner is my little green smiley face ball.

Yay!

I now crown you the bounciest ball of them all.

[imitating trumpet] I have some friends who've been doing some experiments with bouncy balls in their houses today, too.

Let's see what they did.

- Maximus.

- [Man] All right, Maximus.

Is it okay if I call you Max?

- Yeah.

- [Man] All right, buddy.

We're gonna do an experiment today, okay?

- Okay.

- [Man] We're gonna test out those balls on the floor and we're gonna see which ones bounce the highest, all right?

- All right.

- [Man] All right, Max.

I know you like bouncing the balls, so we're gonna bounce each ball and see which one bounces highest, okay?

Drop that ball.

[upbeat music] Okay, so we bounced the first ball and we put a mark on the wall to mark where it bounced up to.

Now we're gonna try a different ball.

Max, are you ready?

Drop it.

So now this is ball number three.

We're gonna see how high it bounces, are you ready?

All right, drop it.

We're gonna have to try that again.

Well, the beauty about science is that you could keep doing it until you get it right.

Okay, Max, you ready?

- Yeah.

- [Man] Drop it down.

Perfect.

All right, so now we're onto ball four.

Max, what type of ball is that?

- A green ball.

- [Man] What did you just say about it?

- It's a green ball.

- [Man] How does it feel?

- Soft.

- [Man] How does it feel?

- Soft.

- [Man] Soft?

All right.

Well, hold it over your head.

Pick it up, buddy.

Come over here, hold it over your head.

And let's get ready.

You ready to bounce it?

All right, drop it.

Good job.

All right, so we are now onto ball number five, a yellow tennis ball.

All right, Max, you're ready for the experiment?

- Yeah.

- [Man] All right, drop it, let it bounce.

All right, good job.

Okay, Max, what number comes after five?

- Six.

- [Man] Good job, we're on ball number six, okay.

Are you ready?

- Yeah.

- [Man] Let the ball bounce.

Good job.

Are you ready to drop the small pink one?

- Yeah.

- [Man] All right, drop it straight down.

Oh, wow, that one bounced real high, good job.

Max, we're about to drop the last ball in the experiment, all right?

Are you ready?

Let it bounce.

Good job, that one was higher than you.

All right, good job.

We're now gonna mark all of the positions on the wall and then we're gonna measure them.

So you put your information on your experiment sheet.

And do you remember which ball bounced the highest?

- The pink ball.

- [Man] That's right, the pink ball bounced the highest.

The pink ball went to 44 inches.

I think we had a good experiment Max, what do you think?

- I liked it.

- [Man] All right.

- It looks like they had a lot of fun playing and experimenting with their bouncy balls.

And we learned a lot, too.

We got to compare different materials, sizes, colors, and other things about our bouncy balls.

And then we got to experiment with how high those balls bounced.

We even got to use our measuring tools to really be sure about our results.

Just like scientists do.

Remember, you can be a scientist at home every day if you stop to notice and wonder about the world around you.

See you next time.

[upbeat music] [woman speaking in foreign language] [Narrator speaking in foreign language] [woman speaking in foreign language] [upbeat music] - Hi, I'm Miss Graziella, and I'm so happy to be here with you today.

I'm going to teach you a quick activity called take five.

Can you show me your five fingers?

Great job.

So take five is something you can do when you're feeling a lot of worry, if you're feeling very overwhelmed or maybe really angry and you want to calm your body down.

Sometimes we feel those big feelings because our mind is thinking of a lot of different things at the same time.

We might need some help coming back to the present.

And we can do that through our five senses by doing take five.

The first thing you're going to do is to take a deep breath.

And you're going to name five things that you can see.

Look around the room and name five things that you see.

Can you see a door?

Can you see a book?

Can you see a person?

So the first thing you do with take five is just look around and name five things that you see.

You take another deep breath.

And you're going to name four things that you can feel.

If you're sitting down, you can name that you feel the chair against your body.

You feel the clothes against your skin.

So you name four things that you feel.

Then step three is you close your eyes and try to listen.

What are three things that you can hear?

Talking, you have the television on, do you hear the radiator?

The next step is to take another deep breath.

What are two things that you can smell?

Pay attention to where you are.

Deep breath again, what do you smell?

Can you smell someone's perfume, some laundry?

Can you smell Play-Doh?

And the last thing you do is take another deep breath.

And name something that you can taste.

Can you still taste whatever the last thing that you ate was?

Do you have ChapStick on, can you taste that?

You can take a sip of something and think about what that tastes like and name it.

Check in with yourself.

How does your body feel?

Do you feel calmer?

After using your five senses to come back to the present moment, do you feel more ready to do whatever it is that you need to do next?

I hope that this helped you, and thank you so much for being here with me today.

Bye.
