Welcome back to our learning space.

My name is Ms. Lara.

Can you tell me your name?

I'm so excited that you made it back today.

Today is Tuesday, another fun day of learning.

So let's start off with our good morning song with our friend, the Chef, who's gonna help us sing.

Ready?

So let's check our visual schedule and see what we have going on.

So we're gonna do our emotional check-in today through a song.

So we're gonna sing a song to the tune of "Old MacDonald had a Farm" and he's gonna have a hen and he's gonna feel happy, sad, mad, lots of feelings like we all do throughout the day.

That's why it's important to check in, isn't it?

Then we're gonna do our weekly investigation with our book.

Today we're gonna focus on rhyming words.

They sound the same.

I'm gonna show you an activity you can do at home to practice.

And then we'll end our day with a goodbye song or a goodbye smooch, depending on how much time we have.

Are you ready to get started?

Okay, let's sing our feeling song to the tune of Old MacDonald.

Ready, it went like this.

Remember you start it off sad, we'll get your crying eyes ready.

♪ Old MacDonald felt so sad ♪ ♪ E I E I O ♪ ♪ His hen ran off and he felt bad ♪ ♪ E I E I O ♪ ♪ With a waa waa here ♪ ♪ and a waa waa there ♪ ♪ Here a waa ♪ ♪ There a waa ♪ ♪ Everywhere a waa waa ♪ ♪ Old MacDonald felt so sad ♪ ♪ E I E I O ♪ Then ♪ Old MacDonald felt happy again ♪ ♪ E I O E I O ♪ ♪ When through the fence in walked his hen ♪ ♪ E I O E I O ♪ ♪ With a woo hoo here ♪ ♪ And a woo hoo there ♪ ♪ Here a woo ♪ ♪ There a woo ♪ ♪ Everywhere a woo hoo ♪ ♪ Old MacDonald's all happy again ♪ ♪ E I O E I O ♪ ♪ Then Old MacDonald he got mad ♪ ♪ E I O E I O ♪ ♪ The hen bit his toe and it hurt so bad ♪ ♪ E I O E I O ♪ ♪ With a stomp stomp here ♪ ♪ And a stomp stomp there ♪ ♪ Here a stomp ♪ ♪ There a stomp ♪ ♪ Everywhere a stomp stomp ♪ ♪ Old MacDonald he got mad ♪ ♪ E I O E I O ♪ ♪ So this is how the story ends ♪ ♪ E I O E I O ♪ ♪ Chicken wings for dinner bring your friends ♪ ♪ E I O E I O ♪ Well, I hope that you liked that song.

I'm gonna give you a letter clue.

That's gonna tell us what video we're gonna watch next.

Are you ready?

Okaym now remember, letters are made with big lines, little lines, and little curves.

So for this, we're gonna make a big line down, a little curve up, which is a letter too, but not the one we need.

And a little line down, like this.

And it's the letter R, That's right.

R for red.

Red hen.

Now hen is a farm animal.

And Ms. Southern has a fun song for us to sing about the farm.

Let's watch together.

- Hi friends, it's me, Ms. Southern.

Can you say, "Hi Ms.

Southern?"

Before we get started, let's put on our thinking caps.

Lock 'em in and type in, "Ready to learn."

Today we're gonna be talking about Old MacDonald and the farm but I think I need to dress up like a farmer.

Ready?

Count to three with me.

One, two, three.

Wow, that's better.

Aren't these overalls spiffy?

Well, on the farm, there are so many different kind of animals.

Do you want to sing a song with me?

All right, here we go.

I love spending time with you.

Well, let's do our affirmation before we leave.

Say I'm brave.

I'm smart.

No one could tell me different.

When you look at me, you see the future.

Until next time, friends, bye.

- So I'm so glad that you got to sing the real Old MacDonald song with Mrs. Southern and not just Ms. Lara's feelings made-up version.

So now it's time for us to review rhyming words.

Do you remember what rhyming words are?

That's right, they're words that sound the same.

So let's see if you remember.

I'm gonna look for some words that rhyme with hen, N, hm.

Let's look, what might rhyme with hen.

Does a pen rhyme with hen?

Pen, hen.

They both say N, they do rhyme.

So I'm gonna put a thumbs up right there.

And you can give me a thumbs up at home.

Let's look at another one.

How about hen, 10.

Hen, 10.

They both say N. They do rhyme, don't they?

Another thumbs up.

How about hen and nest?

Hen, nest.

Do they sound the same?

No, that's a thumbs down.

Rhyming words sound the same and hen and nest do not.

So let's give it a thumbs down.

Now I wanted to show you a way that you can practice this at home by making a rhyming basket.

So all the materials you'll need are a basket, and I used one that was left over from a celebration I had last week.

And items from around your house.

Now you can do this a couple of ways to practice rhyming.

You can make a rhyming basket, where you put things that rhyme inside, and then you have to go through and find the ones that rhyme.

But for this time of year, usually students are ready to produce a rhyme.

That means you show them an object and they have to tell you a word that rhymes with that.

We had a lot of fun adding things to our basket.

So I'm gonna show you what I added to my basket.

And then we'll try to rhyme with a couple of things.

So I added some dice, yarn, a star, some flour, just like the little red hen used, some bread, ooh yummy bread, a flower, a rock, and a beautiful shell that I kept and collected.

Look at the inside, isn't it shiny?

So let's see if we can make some rhymes with these things.

Let's see, what might rhyme with bread?

The rhyming words sound the same, bread.

I'll give you a clue.

It's something that you lay in and it has a pillow.

That's right, bed.

Bread, bed.

They both say ed, they rhyme.

Let's think of something else.

How about a rhyming word with star?

Star, what rhymes with star?

Ooh, how about something you drive and you have to wear a seatbelt?

Car, yes.

Star, car.

They both say ar.

Let's do a few more.

How about a rock?

I put this in my basket because I think all of you are wearing something that rhymes with rock.

Check your feet.

Yes, a sock.

Rock, sock.

They both say ock.

All right, let's see, let's do yarn.

Now this one you might not have around you unless you live out in the country.

I'm thinking of something that rhymes with yarn that farm animals might live in.

Hm, it's red, kind of pointy at the top.

It's a barn, that's right.

Yarn, barn.

They both say arn.

So you can see how you can make a rhyming basket this way and play multiple rounds.

Parents, it's so important for students to learn how to rhyme.

It helps them hear the patterns in the stories that they read.

So I'm gonna put my rhyming basket things away.

And I think we'll have just enough time for me to tell you what we're going to do tomorrow.

So tomorrow we're gonna work on some beginning sound.

Another key skill we need to learn how to read.

I'm actually gonna make some Play-Doh using a recipe on PBS Kids.

So if you have some Play-Doh handy, make sure you'll bring it tomorrow.

All right, boys and girls, we have time to sing our goodbye song.

You ready to sing with me?

Here it goes.

♪ A, B, C you later ♪ ♪ D E F G I'm gonna miss ya ♪ ♪ H I have to go now ♪ ♪ J K bye bye now ♪ ♪ L M N O I had a good time ♪ ♪ P Q R you gonna miss me ♪ ♪ S T U are my best friend ♪ ♪ V W X Y Z ♪ And you are, you're my very best friend.

Boys and girls, don't forget to check out the Sora app for more books about the farm.

That way you can come in tomorrow knowing all about the farm and beginning sounds.

All right, until I see you then, Ms. Lara's gonna give you a big smooch and a big squeeze.

She's gonna remind you to read and to play and to enjoy the rest of your day by thinking like a scientist, using your five senses.

You're gonna see and hear and smell and touch the world all around you.

And I'm gonna tell you what we're gonna do on Friday, which is gonna be so exciting.

We're actually gonna be bakers, like the little red hen, and make some bread.

So to finish off our session today, I'm gonna put my hat on and you put your hat on too to say goodbye.

Ready?

Oop!

Here it goes.

All right, my friends, we'll see you tomorrow.

Goodbye.
