[cheerful music] - [Narrator] Funding for this program was provided by the JPB foundation.

[upbeat music] - Hi friends, my name is Wook Jin Jung.

I'm so happy to join you today to read my book, Little Bunny's Balloon.

I'm an author and illustrator, so I wrote all the stories and I drew all the pictures in this book.

This book is about family and friends and the story was inspired by my own experience when I first came to America.

It was a long time ago and I was a foreign student.

At that time, I was a little lonely without any friends.

However, fortunately, I was able to find new good friends and they helped me to go on a wonderful life journey.

So in this book, we will follow Little Bunny's adventure chasing a balloon on his birthday and we will see how he meets new good friends and how they help him.

So when we read this book, I want you to pay attention to all the details in the pictures because you will be able to find many colors, shapes, and cute little hidden creatures.

It will be a lot of fun.

So now let's read it together.

Little Bunny's Balloon, Wook Jin Jung.

On a planet, not too far away.

This is Little Bunny's planet.

If you look closely, you can see so many things such as houses, buildings, towers, mountains, a boat, and so much more, right?

Little Bunny lived with his family in a big house.

This whole giant tree is Little Bunny's house.

Even the front door is a big bunny ears.

Today happened to be Little Bunny's birthday, but no one in his family seemed to have remembered.

Not even Little Bunny's parents.

Looks like his dad is busy talking on the phone, and his mom is busy doing something in the house.

They really forgot his birthday?

He must be disappointed.

What do you think?

"No one cares about my birthday," thought Little Bunny sadly as he flopped under a tree.

A red balloon floated by.

"Someone must have lost their beautiful balloon," said Little Bunny.

"I will catch it and return it."

The balloon looks so shiny.

Where do you think the balloon comes from?

Let's find out.

Little Bunny chased after the balloon but it was not so easy to catch.

Do you see Little Bunny's face?

I think he's already tired, right?

"Hello," greeted Caterpillar, "How may I help you?"

"Can you help me catch the red balloon?"

asked Little Bunny.

Caterpillar's face looks like a puppy and he has so many legs.

"Hop, hop on and hold on tight," said Caterpillar.

So Little Bunny hopped on the caterpillar's back, and I think it looks like a really fun ride.

Caterpillar walked foot over foot, foot over foot until they arrived at the edge of a cliff.

"This is the end of the road," he said.

Little Bunny saw the balloon still floating away.

So Little Bunny needs to go to the other side of the cliff, but it looks too far away and the Caterpillar can't jump.

What should he do?

Let's find out.

Just then Lady Bird flew to greet Little Bunny.

"How may I help you?"

she said.

"Can you help me catch the red balloon?"

asked Little Bunny.

Right, birds can fly.

Maybe she can help Little Bunny?

"Hop, hop on and hold on tight," said Lady Bird.

Now they are flying in the air.

Look at other birds flying with them.

How exciting.

Do you think Little Bunny's a little nervous?

Lady Bird soared high in the sky.

She flew Little Bunny over the valley and onto the other side of the cliff.

"Thank you, Lady Bird," said Little Bunny.

"Good luck catching the balloon," she said and waved goodbye.

Now Little Bunny is on the other side of the cliff.

Little Bunny reached up to grab the balloon when suddenly it was lifted by a strong wind high above the forest.

"Oh, no!"

yelled Little Bunny.

But this looks like a normal forest, but if you look very closely, you can find all different things in the forest, a flower, a small bird house, a cat, and it looks like there is someone waiting for Little Bunny.

Deep inside the dark forest, Little Bunny lost sight of the tiny red balloon.

So inside the forest is pretty dark because there are so many tall trees.

I think he must feel lost and a little confused.

What do you think he will do in the forest?

Giraffe trotted over to greet Little Bunny "How may I help you?"

he said.

"Can you help me catch the red balloon?"

asked Little Bunny.

To trot means to move faster than walking but not so fast as running.

Are you curious how Giraffe could help him?

Let's see.

"Hop, hop on and hold on tight," said Giraffe.

So, as you see, Giraffe is very tall and has a very long neck.

He could carry Little Bunny above the tall trees.

Giraffe dodged big and little trees as he strode to the edge of the forest.

"Thank you," said Little Bunny.

"I hope you catch the balloon," said Giraffe.

Little Bunny chased the balloon until he got to a river.

"I can't swim," he said, "How will I cross the water?"

Turtle popped up to greet Little Bunny.

"How may I help you?"

he said.

"Can you help me catch the red balloon?"

asked Little Bunny.

"Hop, hop on and hold on tight," said Turtle.

Slowly, Turtle paddled across the wide river.

Little Bunny is now sailing on the water.

Look at Turtle's hat.

It looks like a boat, right?

Can you also see a little ship in the background?

Little Bunny thanked him and hopped off.

"I've been over the land, in the skies, through the forest, and across the river," cried Little Bunny.

"It's getting late and I don't know where I am.

I want to go home."

So he has been chasing the balloon for a while but he still can't catch it.

He must be super tired.

Little Bunny looked up.

Where was he?

Suddenly, he spotted not one but hundreds of balloons.

So he has been chasing a red balloon but there are more balloons all of a sudden.

Let's find out what is going on.

The balloons floated on top of the hill beside the big house.

His house.

Do you see Little Bunny's dad waving at him?

His parents were preparing a surprise party for his birthday, and the red balloon came from his own house.

So his family didn't forget his birthday after all.

"Surprise!

Happy birthday, Little Bunny."

Can you find any more friends who helped Little Bunny?

They are all invited to his party.

So what do you think?

Pretty funny and sweet story, right?

I hope that you enjoyed the story and pictures.

Now let's move on to the activity.

Now I will show you how to draw Little Bunny's face.

I promise it's going to be really fun and easy.

So if you have materials to draw such as pencils, markers, crayons, and anything to draw on like scrap paper, notebook paper, then you can join me.

All right.

First, let's draw a circle, a big circle like this.

This will be Little Bunny's face.

And let's add two long ears like this.

Next, I draw two arched lines like this, like a top of a heart shape, right?

And I'm adding two small dots.

These are his eyes.

And draw a small upside down triangle.

It is his nose.

And finally, draw another line here for his mouth.

And now we have Little Bunny's face.

You can also make different facial expressions like this.

Face.

Ear.

This time I will add a big circle like this and two dots inside it and opened mouth.

This looks like he is surprised, right?

Or another face.

Again, ears.

Top of the heart.

And this arc and upside down arc.

It looks like he is smiling, right?

And here, same.

Two ears.

And use two lines, diagonal lines.

Nose and arc like this.

Now he looks like he's upset.

Okay, friends, that's it.

Thank you so much for joining me today.

It was such fun to read and draw together.

I really hope you enjoyed it.

Take care, everyone and goodbye.

- Hi, movers and shakers.

We're going to sing one of my favorite songs, "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes."

And this time, my friend Resoc is going to help us by singing in Somali.

You can sing in whatever language you want.

I'm going to sit up straight.

You can sit up straight on the floor or you can stand up to do this.

Whatever you want.

Are you ready?

♪ Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes ♪ ♪ Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes ♪ ♪ Eyes and ears and mouth and nose ♪ ♪ Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.

♪ [singing "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" in Somali] ♪ Eyes and ears and mouth and nose ♪ ♪ Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.

♪ Thank you.

[cheerful music] - Hello, friends.

My name is Isabel and welcome to my learning corner.

Today, we will be blending syllables, building words, reading words, and writing words.

Some words may end with some special blends, "-nk" or "-ng".

So keep an eye out.

Are you ready?

Let's go!

For today's phonemic awareness activity, we are going to be blending syllables.

Remember, syllables are words or parts of words that you can say in one breath.

Okay?

So let's try to blend two syllables to make a word together.

The first word is going to be laugh, -ing.

Let's bring them together.

What is our word?

Laughing, good job.

Now let's try a few more words.

Ham, mer.

Hammer.

You can do this with me.

Cam, -el, camel.

Swim, -ming, swimming.

Sleep, -ing, sleeping.

Great job.

You are really getting the hang of this activity.

Now we're going to build a word and add a syllable either to the beginning of the word or the end of the word like this.

The first word we're going to build is "su", "per".

Super.

Super.

Now we're going to add the syllable "star."

Superstar, good job.

Now I'm going to make it a little tricky and I'm going to add a syllable to the beginning of the word The next a word is "fa" "ther", father.

Good, father.

Now I'm going to add a syllable to the beginning.

Grand.

Let's put it together.

Grandfather, good job.

One last one.

I'm going to build this word.

"Brush" "-es" Brushes.

Brushes.

Add the syllable "tooth" to the beginning and you have toothbrushes.

Excellent.

Now we're ready to build some words with our blends "-nk" and "-ng."

Now we're going to build some words together.

These words will have the blends "-nk" and "-ng" in them.

Are you ready?

Let's start with our first word.

As you can see the "-ng" blend falls at the end of the word.

That's where we're going to see it.

So are you ready to build this word with me?

Let's go!

S-T, st I, sti, ng sting Notice how the sound of the I is changed slightly by the blend "ng" at the end.

Sting.

What's this word again?

Sting, good job.

Let's build another word right now.

This word uses the other blend we're talking about.

Let's build it together.

W-I, wi NK, wink.

What's that word?

Wink.

Now we are going to turn this one syllable word wink into a two syllable word by adding the suffix I-N-G. What's our new word going to be?

Wink-Ing, winking, good job.

Now that we've done some work with the "ng" and "nk" blend, we're ready to read some words on our own.

Let's go.

Now we're going to use all of the skills that we've been practicing to read words on our own.

Anytime you're reading, take a second and think what do you already know about the words you see?

What do you notice about all of the words you are seeing?

That's right.

They have the "ng" blend or the "nk" blend in them.

What else do you remember about what you have learned?

Great job.

When the I is placed in front of the "nk", we're going to hear ink.

When the I is placed in front of the "ng", we're going to hear ing.

Take five seconds and read each word now.

Great job.

Let's read it again.

Sing, sung, thing, think.

Ring, bring, brink, rink.

Let's take what we've learned and reading our words and read a sentence.

I will whisper.

And you can read as loud as you'd like.

I watch a bird bring food to its chicks.

Excellent.

One more time.

I watch a bird bring food to its chicks.

What great reading!

Now let's write a word or two.

[upbeat music] Now we're ready for our last activity of the day which is dictation.

In dictation I'm going to say a word.

You're going to repeat the word.

Then we're going to stretch it out like a rubber band, listening for all of the sounds that we can hear in the word.

Then we're going to write the word.

Are you ready?

Great, let's get started.

The first word is bring.

Can you say that word?

Good job.

Now let's stretch that word out.

Bring, that's right.

You heard our special blend of the day.

Let's try that one more time.

Bring.

Good job.

Go ahead and write the word now.

Are you ready?

Great, tell me what to write.

That's a good idea.

B-R-ING.

Is this what you wrote?

Yes!

Let's try one more word.

The next and last word is wink.

Can you say that word?

Wink.

Let's stretch that out like a rubber band.

W-INK, good job.

Let's try it one more time.

W-INK.

Go ahead and write that word down now.

Are you ready?

W-INK.

Is this what you wrote?

Great job!

Give yourself a round of applause, friends.

Great learning today.

Now, remember any time you'd like you can divide words until the syllables that you hear.

So if I was winking at you wink, ing and then you can bring them back together again.

It's a fun game to play.

Have a great day guys.

And don't forget.

Watch the next episode.

See you later friends.

- 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 want to bake cupcakes?

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 help support reading and mathematics.

- 11, 12.

- Leading 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, friends.

How are you today?

I'm Ms. Lauren and today we are going to be working with the number eight.

We will decompose the number eight in many different ways.

We'll start by doing some warmup activities and then follow into the lesson where we'll be working with different shapes and objects for decomposing the number eight.

All right.

And we'll be doing some writing with number bonds and number sentences as well.

So if you would like to join me and write down on your board when I write down on mine, you can.

I'm going to give you a little time to grab those materials.

If you have a whiteboard and a marker or pencil and paper.

All right, I'll put some music on and when the music stops, I'll begin.

All right my friends, go ahead.

[upbeat music] Okay, friends.

We're going to begin by working with the number seven just as some practice before we get to the number eight.

Okay.

And we're going to use this lady bug to help us out.

Let's count the number of dots on the lady bug.

Are you ready?

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

Yeah, she has seven.

So keep the number seven in your head, okay?

And let's take a look at this lady bug.

How many dots does this lady bug have?

Let's count one, two, three.

So how many more dots does this lady bug need in order to reach seven?

Mm, well, there are different ways of doing this.

The way I would do it, I would count the dots.

So there are three.

So three is in my head and then I'm gonna count up until I get to seven.

Okay, you ready?

Watch how I do it.

Three in my head, three, four, five, six, seven.

So how many more do you need in order to make seven?

Four.

You have three and four make seven.

Nice job.

Do you want to try it?

Okay, let's take a look at this lady bug, right?

Remember the first thing we do?

We count.

So count the dots.

One, two, three, four, five.

Hmm, five in your head.

How many more do we need to make seven?

Two, yeah.

Did you get that?

Good job.

All right, let's do this one.

Count the dots Right?

Two in your head.

Count up.

Five, yeah, we have five.

We need five more to make seven, two and five makes seven.

All right, let's do one more.

Are you ready?

How many?

Just one.

So let's count up, one in our head.

Let's count up so that we will know how many more we need in order to make seven Seven.

Oh, I needed one more finger.

So six, we needed six more, six and one makes seven.

Good job friends.

All right.

Let's move along and start working with the number eight.

I'm going to show you this rectangle that has eight dots.

We're going to use this as our guide for the whole time, right?

This is here for you.

So that way you can always see it to remember and to know that we are always looking for eight.

All right.

Let's count to make sure.

You ready?

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

So we have eight dots on that rectangle.

Now what I want us to do is take a look at this.

Okay, let's take a look at this rectangle on this side.

So I'm going to be asking you the same question as I did with the lady bugs.

How many more do we need in order to make eight?

Except now ladybug was seven.

Now we're dealing with the number eight.

So let's see.

Do you remember the strategy we used?

Yeah, four in our head.

And then we counted up until we met the number.

So let's do four in our head and let's keep counting until we reach eight.

You ready?

Five, six, seven, eight.

Four, right?

And you know what?

We can easily see that four is missing as well.

Something I wanted to practice with you is making number bonds.

So a number bond is a hole and it has parts.

So you can go ahead and make this on your board along with me.

Okay.

So the top circle is going to be eight.

It's going to stay eight and it's always going to be the number eight.

Okay.

Because that is going to be our total, right?

That's our total, that's our hole.

So for this rectangle here if we wanted to make a number bonds for this rectangle and we're trying to get to eight, one part we have four dots that are there.

That's one part there.

And how many are missing?

We said four, right?

So four.

So to make a number bonds for this to go with eight we would have four and four make eight.

Okay, all right.

Let's go ahead and erase just the two bottom number bonds.

All right.

And I'm going to give you a new rectangle.

Okay, let's do this one.

Let's see.

So remember, the first thing we do is count.

So let's count how many we have one, two, three, four, five, six.

So six is one part, isn't it?

Yeah, six is a part.

So right away we could put six in that number bonds.

So now we need to know what's missing.

Well, there's two different ways.

We can use the strategy we did before.

So six in our head count up seven, eight, two, right?

Yeah, and if we look carefully we can notice that there's space missing.

And it's probably just enough space for those two dots.

So two, so six and two make eight.

Yeah, that's a great number bond.

Good job.

All right, let's do another one.

You ready?

Erase yours.

And I'm going to get us a new rectangle.

You ready?

Let's take a look.

All right.

Now remember the first thing we do is count.

I have to count one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

All right.

So the first part that we have is seven.

And now we need to figure out how many more we need to make eight.

Well, if we have seven, that's pretty simple, isn't it?

Look, there's one spot left.

So it must be one.

Seven and one make eight.

Great job, friends.

Okay, so now we're going to do, we're going to continue learning about the number eight and decomposing it.

The screen is going to change and you're going to hear my voice.

So have fun and just follow along with the screen.

Okay, friends, let's pretend.

Let's pretend that we went swimming in the ocean and we came across some fish.

Let's count to see how many fish we saw.

Are you ready to count with me?

Okay, here we go.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

We saw eight fish.

Let's use these eight fish to practice decomposing or breaking down the number eight into different groups.

Okay, so the fish swam away and now they're going to come back but they're coming back in different groups.

Two different groups that will make up eight fish.

Let's see how many is in the first group.

Count with me.

One, two, three, four.

Do you know how many more we need to make eight?

Let's see if you're right.

Count with me.

One, two, three, four.

Yeah, four and four make eight.

This is what it looks like as a number sentence.

Okay, the fish swam away.

Now they're back.

Oh, in a new group.

Let's count to see how many fish are in this group.

One, two, three, four, five.

Mm, how many more do we need to make eight?

Let's see if you're right.

Yeah, can you count the second group really fast?

Yeah, there's three, five plus three equals eight.

All right.

Let's see another way to make eight.

Fishies swim away.

Here we go.

Oh, boy count with me.

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

How many more do we need to make eight?

Let's see if you're right.

Yeah, two more.

We have six plus two equals eight.

All right.

Let's see another way of making eight.

Here we go.

Count with me.

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

So we have seven fish in one group, just one in the second group.

So the two groups or the two parts that we have, we have seven plus one.

And that equals eight.

All right.

There's one more way.

Let's take a look.

Here they come.

Let's see.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Yeah, they could just come all together, can't they?

And we would write that as a number sentence, eight plus zero equals eight.

Wonderful job.

Thank you, friends for helping me practice decomposing the number eight.

All right, friends.

You did a great job today.

Thank you so much for being here.

We did lots of different activities on how to decompose numbers today.

We started with the numbers seven and then we worked our way up to the number eight.

So I hope you had a good time while we were doing that.

And I hope you learned something, share something, share what you've learned with someone at home, okay?

All right, friends, please come back so you can continue learning all about math with us.

All right.

Okay, see you soon.

Bye.

[speaking in foreign language] [upbeat music] - Hi artists.

My name is Juanita.

I'm an artist and the artist with studio in a school.

Today we're going to work with some of the objects I found around my house.

I found the laundry detergent lid.

I found this plastic block, and I also found a key chain in the shape of a sneaker.

What do you notice about these objects?

For instance, this lid is two dimensional.

I notice it has a top, it has a bottom, and it also has sides.

I notice that key chain in the shape of a sneaker is also two dimensional.

Why?

It has a top, it has a bottom and it also has two sides.

What do you think is the difference between these two objects?

This lid from a bottle of laundry detergent and this yellow piece of paper?

Which one do you think is two dimensional?

This lid of a bottle of laundry detergent is 3D or three dimensional.

It has a top.

It has a bottom.

And it have sides.

This yellow piece of paper is 2D or two dimensional.

And is flat.

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

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 repurpose 3D items like buttons, old keys, paper clips, rubber bands, Popsicle sticks, ribbons, Q-tips, cardboard rolls small cloth remnants, jewelry, sponges, plastic spoons, toys or anything else you can find.

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

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

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

This can be a piece cut from any box.

A cereal box will be a good option.

Let's get started.

I'm going to have a close look to these objects I found around my house.

How do I know they're two dimensional?

Yes, that's correct.

They have many sides.

They have a top, sides and a bottom.

Are there any that are not two dimensional?

Yes.

Look, I found a few.

I have a piece of aluminum foil.

I have a piece of cloth.

And then I have a piece of cardboard.

This three materials that I have here are flat or 2D but I can still use them.

But do you think I can do with these objects?

I wonder what ideas you may have.

I think I'm going to short and organize them first to see how I might use them.

How can I organize the objects?

What do you see that is the same about some of these objects?

I noticed that some of them are the same shape.

Let's sort them by shape.

I'm going to put these circles together.

Oh and the rectangles together I think I'm gonna add more circles to my collection here.

I am going to add all the circles that I think I have here that I can find.

Oh, look, I also found another rectangle for my collection.

So this is my collection of rectangles here.

And this is my collection of circles.

Hm.

I noticed that some of my objects have same texture.

Texture is the way to describe how something feels.

I think I'm going to sort my objects now by texture.

I'm going to clear my area.

I'm going to go through this pile to see if I can find something that is soft.

Oh, what do you think of these?

So soft.

So we're going to add it here to our soft pile.

I wonder if there's anything else here that I can find that is soft.

Oh, look, there's a piece of fabric here.

This also feels soft.

Oh, look, I found the sponge and I'm feeling the texture and it's soft also.

This is really nice.

Oh, look, there's a pipe cleaner here.

And this is soft like when you touch a kitten or cat.

Hmm, I wonder if there's another texture I can add to this.

Yes, I think I can do smooth.

The surface of this yo-yo feels really smooth here when I touch it.

There's the lid here.

This also feels really smooth when I touch it.

I don't hear any sounds when I touch it actually.

Anything else?

There's these yogurt container.

This also feels really, really, really smooth here.

Okay, very good.

Maybe these feels really smooth also.

Okay.

Is there any other textures that I can find on that pile?

Hmm, you know what's got to my attention?

These pieces of the toy.

Wow and these feels rough.

So I think I'm going to put this here on my rough pile.

And I'm going to look for other objects that are rough.

Hmm, I see a bottle cap here.

I'm going to touch the edges.

They really feel rough.

Wow, almost sharp.

So let's add that to that.

Here's another bottle cap or maybe the lid for a bottle here.

This also feels rough.

Yeah, this can also go on my rough group of objects here.

Here I have my rough group of objects.

I have smooth and the soft objects here.

I also noticed that some objects in my collection are the same material.

Let's see.

Look, for instance, I found this piece of wood here.

So let me start with that.

Let's see.

I think this is made out of wood here.

Okay, I believe this is a cork and it's made out of wood too.

Here's another material on my collection.

This is actually metal.

So I'm gonna put this pile here.

Kinda wonder what other objects made out of metal I have on my collection.

The lid.

Oh, notice the sound it makes.

Cool.

Oh, we have plastic too.

We're going to start on a pile made out of plastic here.

Here I have some bottle caps.

Here's some wood again.

Ooh, we have some metal and he makes some sound.

Yes, plastic.

I wonder if this is made out of wood too.

We're going to add these to the pile.

Oh, a pencil sharpener here.

Should we have an old earring?

So this is part of that collection or plastic or wood.

Ooh, laundry detergent cap.

Should we have a paperclip?

I have wood.

Plastic, metal.

Can I sort my objects any other way?

What colors did you see?

Hmm, I'm going to start sorting these pieces by color.

Let's see.

You know what I notice?

A lot of red.

So I'm going to make a pile here to have red.

I also notice green.

So I'm going to do that and start moving.

I also notice that I have blue.

So I'm just going to put all the blue objects together.

Ooh, I also see pink.

So let's see what happens.

I'm going to try to find all the objects that are the same color, putting them together.

Let me see how this goes.

We have some red here.

There, I organized my objects by different colors.

I have blue objects, yellow objects, light brown objects, pink, white, orange, green, red.

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

A base is a home for our arrangement.

I wonder how can I arrange my objects in an interesting way.

Let's have some ideas I can make a long line with all my objects.

And I think I can arrange them from big to small.

So I'm just going to look.

Let's see.

Oh no, wait.

This is taller.

Ah, let's see.

Do you think this is working?

What do you think?

I think this is working here.

So I arranged these in a line.

They go from big to small and they look like they're following each other.

Hm, I have another idea.

I'm going to arrange my objects to make a pattern.

Do you know what a pattern is?

A pattern is a design where aligned shape, color or texture repeats.

I wonder what kind of pattern I can make with my objects.

Ooh, I think I have more of these types in my box.

And I'm going to start making a pattern with my dice and some spoons that I have here in my box.

So let's see.

Hmm, I'm going to try to, thinking of that definition, a pattern is a line, shape or color that repeats.

I'm going to do that with these spoons and these dice.

Right?

And then I have another spoon left.

Maybe I can do this.

Look, I made a pattern using my spoons and dice.

Let's try something else.

I wonder if I can make all my objects into one big shape.

Wow, I really liked this arrangement that I made.

Can you see the shape that I made?

Yes, it's a triangle.

Do you notice how I sorted my objects?

I made one side of my triangle with objects made of wood.

I made another side of my triangle with objects that are made of metal.

And I made another side of my triangle that is made with objects made out of plastic.

What is in the middle of my triangle?

Yes, the objects are green.

I'm going to move around to look at it from a different angle.

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

Does the shape change when you look at it from the side?

Does it change when you look at it up close?

You can ask a trusted adult who has a camera to take a picture of your favorite arrangement.

And you can also draw it.

Now it's your turn.

What objects will you collect to create with?

How would you sort your objects?

How would you arrange them?

Have fun, artists.

Bye, see you next time.
