(upbeat guitar music) - Hello, little learners.

How are you doing today?

It's the start of another wonderful week here in our TK classroom.

My name is Miss Lara, hello And this week we're learning all about Oviparous animals Ovipar what?

We're gonna learn what that means but I have a little friend I wanna introduce you to, So this is Henrietta, Isn't she so fluffy?

and she brought me a surprise Do you wanna see what it is?

It is some eggs So around this time of year, you might start to see stores selling some eggs And I brought some to share with you Right heres one, that's a soccer egg, that's one and a football egg, that's two a blue one with crosses Oh, I love blue, that's three One with stripes, four One with dots, five Ooh, this yellow one, that makes six I know some of you will like this one, football, number seven Triangles, number eight Soccer, number nine And my last egg, a pretty pink one, number 10.

Henrietta brought me 10 eggs to share.

And wouldn't you know, I have a song about 10 eggs that I would like to share with you.

Now, in this song there's 10 fluffy chicks and we have 10 fingers.

So while I'm singing, I want you to hold your fingers up like this, it's more of a poem, but here we go.

Five eggs and five eggs, that makes 10.

Sitting on top is the mother hen Crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle.

What do I see?

10 fluffy chicks as yellow as can be.

What do you think?

I wish my fingers were fluffy like the chicks.

Now you know I love to share my Spanish language with you.

So I have a song in Spanish that will sing together.

Now, in order for you to understand it if you don't speak the language, I'm gonna share with you a few words.

So the first one is "Pollitos" Pollitos means chicks And the next one is "Hambre" Hambre means hungry and our Pollitos are going to be "hungry".

Right?

The next one is "frio" What do you think it means?

Frio Cold.

That's right.

So we know our Pollitos are gonna be hungry and be cold.

Are you ready to sing with me?

It goes like this Los Pollitos decen Pio, Pio, Pio Cuando tienen hambre Cuando tienen frio La gallina busca el arroz y el trigo les da la comida les presta el abrigo So tomorrow I'll go over a few more words.

So you'll better understand the song but right now it's time to visit some words in our book we're going to share.

Now, remember I told you, we're learning about, Oviparous animals, and I bet behind this door That's one of our words.

So let's take a look today I have two words for you.

The first word is special letter "A" for Amphibians.

Can you say that word?

Am phib ians Amphibians are a group of coldblooded, vertebrae, animals, like frogs or toads.

And in our book, there's some pictures of some amphibians and I'll make sure to stop and point them out so we can get that word right in our brain.

And the last word, the word of the week is, Oviparous, special letter "O" like a big oval.

Can you make an O in the air like this?

Oviparous and it's any animal that lays an egg Are humans Oviparous?

No, we're not Oviparous We do not lay eggs, but our story today to tells us about other animals that are Oviparous So our story is called "Chickens aren't the only ones", the author is Ruth Heller.

Now you'll remember, the author does what?

Writes the words That's right.

And it's a book about animals that lay eggs.

And here's our first animal.

It's a Chicken.

That's right.

Or a Hen And she's sitting on top a nice nest.

And look, here's another picture of an animal.

It's a crocodile Did you know crocodiles laid eggs?

I didn't.

So let's read Chickens aren't the only ones Chickens lay the eggs you buy Now, where do you buy eggs?

Want you to think?

Do you go to the Farmers market?

Do you go to the Supermarket?

Yeah, That's where I go.

I go to the grocery store to buy my eggs but that's not where they come from.

They come from chickens The eggs you boil, or fry look at all those eggs, Do you like to eat eggs?

I like to eat fried eggs.

those are my favorite.

What's your favorite way to eat eggs?

and the eggs you dye Look at those eggs are beautiful and colorful or leave alone so you can see what will grow inside, naturally.

And it's a little pollito or a chick.

It grew inside of an egg but chickens aren't the only ones Look, this is a beautiful peacock That's right.

Every bird, wild or Tame does the same.

See if you can see here, a Turkey is oviparous and you see the dove down there and there's a goose here and a duck.

They all lay eggs.

The ostrich lays the largest egg.

Look how big that egg, the hummingbird, the smallest the teeniest tiniest egg.

I've never seen a humming bird egg but I bet it's pretty small.

Have you ever seen one?

Chickens aren't the only ones, most snakes lay eggs and lizards too.

So do you think that a snake egg looks the same as a chicken egg?

No, probably not.

Right?

It's probably thinner There's the picture there and crocodiles and turtles do.

So there's a turtle and it's little baby and an egg.

Ooh.

Do you know what this is?

I think it's A big, scary Dinosaur.

It's a T-Rex, did you know dinosaurs where extinct our reptiles chew and they're Oviparous see right at the bottom a little baby dinosaur hatching from an egg, Frogs and toads and salamanders lay eggs.

And when they hatch, that means come out of their egg their tad poles who grow legs and climb a Lily pad just like their mom and dad.

And here they are at the bottom.

Now, do you do things like your mom and dad?

Maybe you look like them, huh?

They don't have claws or scaly skins.

They are called Amphibians.

So now we know Amphibians don't have claws or scaly skins but they are also Oviparous, which means they come from eggs.

Fish eggs float up to the surface or sink down to the bottom of the ocean floor.

Look at these fish.

They all look so unique or different.

Do you have a favorite one from this page?

I think I like this one with the polka dots on its stomach This mother sea horse lays her eggs into the father's pouch.

He keeps them there until they hatch.

And then he's through.

I think that's nice of him.

Don't you?

So that's really unique of sea horses.

Usually the mother takes care of the babies, but in this case, it's the father, these fathers who are helping out by guarding eggs, protected by the foamy mess that's floating by and they won't leave until they are sure that all the eggs have hatched.

So fathers play an important role too even though they sometimes don't lay the eggs.

These don't look like eggs to me but they were laid deep in the sea.

This one by a shark this one by a Ray, it's a mermaid's purse, they say so can you believe this shark egg looks so strange, so different from other eggs that we know are buying the grocery store.

Spiders wrap their eggs in sacks and snails, you know are very slow, but they lay eggs that hatch and grow.

And so do insects.

Oh, we learned all about insect.

Of course we learned they have, how many legs, six legs that's right.

And they lay many different kinds of eggs.

This one will hatch into a hungry caterpillar who will grow and grow and grow and then climb up a stem and change into this A Chrysalis and change again once summer morn That's how a butterfly is born.

Now we learned all about the butterfly life cycle in our last class session.

Animals with fur or hair who nurse their young and don't lay eggs are known as mammals.

So like an ant eater, a platypus but these are two exceptions and they both live in Australia.

Oh, so the ant eater and this Platypus, they, do lay eggs Chickens aren't the only ones there's no more to discuss everyone who lays an egg is oviparous, look at all of these animals that lay eggs, a frog, a chicken a parrot, a spider, a butterfly, even an octopus.

Well, I wonder what an octopus egg looks like.

Animals who don't lay eggs, have babies born alive and well but that's another tale to tell me.

The end.

And so what did you think of our book?

We learned so much and about oviparous animals from crocodiles to sea horses So I hope that you go check it out at your local library.

So right now we're gonna move on to our foundational skill lesson.

And I'm gonna see if you remember some of the Oviparous animals that we talked about.

I'm gonna give you clues like the beginning sound or maybe something that rhymes with that animal and see if you can guess at home.

All right.

Are you ready?

It's time to play a guessing game a guessing game, a guessing game.

It's time to play a guessing game.

Won't you guess with me?

All right, here are my oviparous animals See if you can think of the one that I'm gonna give you clues about this one special beginning sound is sss that's the S makes the sss sound it slithers and it lays eggs that might look different from chicken eggs.

Do you remember this story long and thin?

I'll say it slowly.

And then you say it loud.

As soon as you figure out what it is.

Ready?

Sn ake sn ake Snake Snake, That's right.

A snake is an Oviparous animal.

Okay.

Let's do a couple more.

Oh, this next one's special sound TTT.

It's beginning sound is TTTT that's T .

Isn't it.

Can you make a "t" in the air?

That's right.

And it's very slow when it walks and it has a hard shell in the back and it loves to eat lettuce.

I'm gonna say it slow.

Here we go.

Tur tle tur tle.

Turtle, That's right.

You're so good at this game.

A turtle is an oviparous animal, alright, Let's see.

Ooh, I know, you know this one it's special sound is KKK now remember two letters can make that sound a "K" or a C for this one.

It's a "C" a C a Crocodile C Okay.

I gave it away.

Crocodile.

Miss Lara?

I can hear you telling me, all right.

I won't make it so easy next time.

All right.

Let's see.

Ooh.

This one special letter is "S" like snake but it's not the snake.

The father carries the egg in its pouch and it lives under the sea.

I'm gonna say it slow Sea Horse.

Tell me real loud once you know, sea horse, sea horse.

That's right.

Here's the sea horse.

Another Oviparous animal.

Now I don't wanna leave the last one out.

So I'm gonna say it, but I think you know what it is.

It's special sound is actually CH CH CH and that's the sound you make when you combine the C and the H together CH CH and it kind lives on a farm and has feathers and it lays eggs that you might have for breakfast.

Here I go saying it slow, chick en chic ken Chicken, that's right Oh, you're so good.

We said Oviparous animals are snakes and turtles in the seahorse, a chicken and a crocodile.

Do you remember anymore?

That's right.

Insects like a butterfly.

Now I thought it'd be really fun at our project place to make a little craft that will remind us what Oviparous animals are.

Animals who come from eggs.

So let's go over to the project place and I'll tell you what materials we'll need.

Here we go.

All right, for this activity, you're going to need some paper.

Now I always love to use scraps of paper that I have but these are the colors I used.

I used white and brown, orange, black, and yellow.

Now I used a couple of other supplies but you used whatever you have on hand glue or a glue stick And then I was just a little bit extra a little bit of white paint to make what we're making seem more realistic and some scissors and a paintbrush.

If you don't wanna use your fingers.

So this is what we're making.

And I know what you're thinking on egg really.

That's all.

But this egg is magic because it's gonna hatch and there's an oviparous animal underneath.

So what do you think it is?

Do you want me to rip it open and find out, okay, here we go.

Oh, what could it be?

So when in our little animal hatches this one will peck through the egg.

Does that give you a clue?

I'm gonna take it down and open it up and then we'll take a look.

Do you see any clue from what you're looking at?

Wherever you are, here we go.

It's a chick.

That's what came from our egg.

So do you wanna make this with me?

alright?

Here's what we're going to do first The first thing we're gonna do is we're going to use our yellow paper to make a head and a body.

Now you can do this a couple of ways.

You can use your scissors or you can tear the paper like I did.

And I like that it makes the paper look, like it 's almost fluffy So we're gonna try to do it that way.

So for the head, what shape might we make?

A circle?

That's right.

Looks like the letter "o".

I'm gonna tear it.

That's really fun.

And I'm just gonna cut a circle around, now circles are really hard to make, when your tearing paper, I'm gonna show you, mine is not perfect.

Look at this, see all the rough edges, but that's okay.

I like it like that.

I'm gonna put it in the middle or center of my paper and I'm gonna glue it down, glue it down, just like that using my glue stick because we wanna make sure that I show you what it's gonna look like at the end If I used glue, it takes so long to dry.

Next, we need a body.

So another piece of yellow paper and I'm gonna make the same shape, just a little bit larger.

So come on tear paper with me all the way around.

And last week we learned about insects and their three body parts.

I think a chick has many, many more body parts than an insect, but can you find out for me and let me know?

It's always interesting to study the anatomy which is a fancy word for the sciencey word for how things are inside of different animals.

Okay?

So there's my body now, what do I need?

Chicks?

I know have wings.

So I need to add some wings.

And again, just using scrap pieces of paper.

I'm gonna cut some wings out now to me, the wings look kind of like, like this I don't know how to describe the shape Maybe it's a car it can be any shape that you like, cut a little bit off.

It's kind of like when you're looking at these torn pieces of paper, it's like looking at the clouds.

You don't know what shape it's gonna be.

And then it just starts to look like something else.

Okay, úThen I'm gonna tear another piece of paper to make my next wing or my pair.

Cause pair means two, you know, here we go, oh what's this shape kind of looks like, like I don't know a state like where we live California or a smile with two teeth at the bottom or a wing which is what it's going to be.

So there it is, all right, now we need to add our beak So I'm gonna do that by using some orange paper.

Now, if you don't have orange paper at home, don't worry.

You can just use white paper, newspaper whatever it is you have.

Remember just use your imagination, sometimes when you don't have things, that's when you can be creative and new exciting things begin to form.

All right.

So there's the beak.

Next.

I'm gonna add some legs and then we'll do our egg.

So I'm gonna add one and two.

There we are.

Now do chicks have legs?

Ooh.

I might have made a mistake Can you find out for me please?

I always love it when you investigate, look into books, do chicks have legs?

Okay, Next I'm gonna make some eyes with some black paper and this is two circles, two smaller circles.

And you can put some white part if you like, but I'm just gonna use some black to make the eyes put 'em there one and two now chicks aren't the only Oviparous animal that you can make.

You can get creative and make a turtle or a sea horse or anything else you'd like but this is what my chick is looking like.

Ooh.

So fancy look, it's doing a little walk like on the runway.

Now to finish up our craft or activity we need to make an egg.

So you're gonna take your piece of brown paper and you're gonna cut out an egg shape.

I want you to think you can even go into the fridge and check the shape of an egg.

It's not quite an oval, it has kind of has a point and then it's heavier at the bottom.

So I'm just gonna get my scissors in there and start cutting.

But you can use a marker and trace out your shape.

So here we go, going around and around kind of creating an oval and just leaving like a little point.

And one thing I forgot to mention, of course you're going to want to make your egg larger than your chick, because it's gonna be inside of it.

Last step is you're going to take your glue stick or your glue, whatever it is you're going to use.

And you're gonna go around the edges of the egg not in the middle, no boo, to that.

You don't wanna do that.

Just the edges around and you're gonna put the egg down.

Okay.

And then you can take your scissor and kind of cut cut a little tiny hole in the middle so you can peel it off.

Now of course, I like to do things and make them look as realistic as possible.

So I have a little bit of white paint.

So I'm gonna dip my egg in the white paint because if you notice a brown egg has like these little speckles of white and I'm just gonna go and get really messy and kind of get in there and get some white speckles on my egg.

This is what it's looking like.

And you can make lots of speckles or a little bit and then you can surprise someone and say, "Can you guess what's inside?"

It's an oviparous animalúúúúúú and then start cracking it open.

This is my favorite part.

Remember, you can do a turtle or anything else.

Pretend it's hatching out.

You can even pretend to be the mother Hen you can sit on it a while.

It's hatching out.

It's hatching out.

Oh there it goes.

And at the very, very end, you're gonna have a beautiful oviparous animal in there, a chick or whatever it is that you choose to put in there.

So I'd love to see your creations.

Send me a picture if you're able and remember join me tomorrow because we're gonna learn lots more Oviparous animals until then, Ms. Lara, sends you a big squeeze wherever you are and a big smooch reminds you to read and play and to use your imagination every single day until next time.

Goodbye.
