♪ Good morning to a brand new day ♪ ♪ Time to learn and games to play ♪ ♪ Learning things is so much fun ♪ ♪ Learning is good for everyone ♪ (upbeat music) - Hello little learners.

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 another fun day of learning and we have our friend, the pig, who's gonna lead us in our good morning song, so here we go.

♪ Good morning, good morning ♪ ♪ It's a sunshine kind of day ♪ ♪ Come join Ms. Lara ♪ ♪ For some learning and some play ♪ ♪ Will we sing a song?

♪ Course we will.

♪ Make our brains strong ♪ Like, super strong.

♪ So come along ♪ Yes, come on friends.

♪ For some learning and some play ♪ Okay and let me put my pig friend away.

Here's our schedule for the day.

Ooh, away, day, they both say ay.

I just can't help but rhyme.

Here's what we're gonna do.

Our emotional check in this week is a song and our focus feeling is surprise.

That's right, it's that feeling you get when something that you weren't expecting happens.

We're gonna sing our song in just a little bit.

Then we're gonna move on to our weekly investigation.

Our focus text is "The Cow That Went Oink".

Now, is that what cows normally say?

No.

The book is kind of silly, isn't it?

Do you remember how it ended?

Maybe we'll talk about that today.

And then we'll sing our goodbye song or Ms. Lara will give you a goodbye smooch.

(kiss) And we'll come back for another fun day of learning.

Sound like a good plan?

Okay, let's sing our song.

But before we do, let's review the characters in our song, the animals that we're gonna sing about.

So, we have our friend the cow.

Now what does the cow say?

That's right, moo.

You know, in different countries, cows say different things.

Moo is what they say here in the United States.

How about the sheep, what does the sheep say?

Baa, that's right.

Next we have the pig.

What does the pig say?

Oink, oink, oink, oink.

Okay?

You got the sounds?

Here's our song.

♪ Cows in the kitchen, moo, moo, moo ♪ ♪ Cows in the kitchen, moo, moo, moo ♪ ♪ Cows in the kitchen, moo, moo, moo ♪ ♪ What shall we do, tell farmer ♪ Next the sheep are in the living room.

I think they even popped some popcorn and are watching a movie.

Oh no, would that surprise you?

It surprised me.

Here we go.

♪ Sheep in the living room, baa, baa, baa ♪ ♪ Sheep in the living room, baa, baa, baa ♪ ♪ Sheep in the living room, baa, baa, baa ♪ ♪ What shall we do, tell farmer ♪ Then our last animal are pigs.

Sorry, pigs are in the bedroom, those sneaky pigs.

Let's sing that song.

♪ Pigs in the bedroom, oink, oink, oink ♪ ♪ Pigs in the bedroom, oink, oink, oink ♪ ♪ Pigs in the bedroom, oink, oink, oink ♪ ♪ What shall we do, tell farmer ♪ Now there's really nothing left to do except shoo them away.

They don't belong in a human house, do they?

So let's sing that part.

♪ Chase them away, shoo, shoo, shoo ♪ ♪ Chase them away, shoo, shoo, shoo ♪ ♪ Chase them away, shoo, shoo, shoo ♪ ♪ That's what we'll do, tell farmer ♪ Ooh, I love singing with you.

All right, next thing that we're gonna do is I'm gonna give you a letter clue because it's time to watch our video.

So, here is our letter clue.

Remember, all letters are made up of lines and curves.

So I'm gonna use one big one first, a little line at the top.

Ooh, that's a letter, but not the one I'm looking for.

And then another little curve, actually, here at the bottom.

What letter have I made?

The letter "B", that's right.

"B" for beginning sounds.

Beginning sounds are the first sounds that you hear in a word.

So we're gonna watch a video that's gonna test your skills on beginning sounds.

Let's watch together.

All right boys and girls, let's get ready to play a beginning sound game.

Ready?

Here we go.

This is a rooster.

(rooster crowing) Can you help me find the missing beginning sound for rooster?

(rooster crowing) Is it "M"?

(rooster crowing) The "M" makes the sound mm, like you've eaten something yummy.

- [Male Narrator] Mm, yummy.

- [Ms. Lara] Let's try it.

Mooster.

(buzzer buzzing) That's silly.

How about an "R"?

The "R" says rr.

(rooster crowing) Let's try it.

Rooster.

(bell dinging) That's right, rooster starts with "R".

These are cows.

(cow mooing) Can you help me find the beginning sound for cow?

(cow mooing) Is it "Z"?

The "Z" makes a zz sound, like a bee buzzing.

(bee buzzing) Let's try it.

Zow.

(buzzer buzzing) That's silly.

How about the letter "C"?

The "C" says c, let's try it.

C, ow.

Cow.

(bell dinging) That's right, cow starts with "C".

Here is a pig.

(pig grunting) What is the beginning sound for pig?

Is it "W"?

The "W" makes the wa sound.

Let's try it.

W, ig.

Wig?

No, that's silly.

(buzzer buzzing) How about the letter "P"?

It makes the p sound.

Let's see.

P, ig.

Pig.

(bell dinging) That's right, pig begins with "P".

Let's play a bonus round.

Ready?

- [Male Narrator] One round.

- Get your pointer finger ready, I want you to point to something in your house that starts with the letter "P".

Remember, the "P" makes the p sound.

I saw a pig perched on a piano eating pizza with pineapple.

Just kidding, I was only pretending.

I hope that gave you some practice on beginning sounds.

Now, boys and girls, our focus text is "The Cow That Went Oink".

Remember that you can check out more books on the Sora App and I hope you do.

So, I wanted to quickly show you how we're gonna finish off our barn from yesterday.

And it looks like we're just gonna have enough time to put on the door.

So, what I did was I put a little piece of red paper, like this, for a door, right on there to cover it up.

I'm gonna glue it down.

Now, it's not tricky at all to make the door if you know just what to do.

I'm gonna fold it, should've folded it down first.

Fold it just so.

And then we're gonna put it right on our barn, so it can close.

And of course, you can add as many decorations as you'd like to your barn.

So, now we're gonna use that to practice our beginning sounds and our rhyming skills.

We're actually gonna put some animals in the barn and I'm gonna show you the animals first.

So I have a sheep, there it goes in the barn.

And I have a goat, here it goes.

And then, of course, I have a donkey, in the barn.

And I have a cow, ooh, in the barn.

And last, I have a horse, in the barn.

Now, if I was doing this at home, I would actually put the animals in there, but for time, I'll keep them outside.

So, here's our poem that we're gonna read and use.

It goes like this.

I wonder what's in the big red barn, I wonder what's in it for me.

It starts with a, and rhymes with, what do you think it could be?

Are you ready to guess?

Okay, let me pick an animal.

Ooh, I have a good one, here it goes.

I wonder what's in the big red barn, I wonder what's in it for me.

It's starts with a c and it rhymes with meow, what do you think it could be?

It's a cow, that's right.

Cow starts with c and rhymes with meow, doesn't it?

Let's do another one, here we go.

Ooh.

Okay, I got a good one.

I wonder what's in the big red barn, I wonder what's in it for me.

It starts with a g and it rhymes with boat, what do you think it could be?

Hmm, starts with a g and rhymes with boat.

It's a goat, that's right.

Here it comes out of the barn.

Goat starts with g and rhymes with boat.

Goat, boat, they both say oat.

Here goes another one.

Hmm, I wonder what's in the big red barn, I wonder what's in it for me.

It starts with sh and ends with eep and rhymes with Jeep.

Ooh, what do you think it could be?

Hmm.

Let's see, rhymes with Jeep, could it be a horse?

Horse, Jeep, no, that doesn't sound the same.

Ooh, I know, it's a sheep.

Baa.

That's right, sheep and Jeep both rhyme and sheep begins with sh, sh.

Let's try another one.

Ooh, how about this one?

I wonder what's in the big red barn, I wonder what's in it for me.

It starts with a d and rhymes with ponkey, what do you think it could be?

Rhymes with ponkey?

Couldn't be goat, those don't sound the same and goat starts with the g sound, so not that.

Ooh, I think I got it, do you have it at home?

It's a donkey, that's right.

Donkey.

That rhymes with ponkey, what a silly word, made up one.

Last one.

I wonder what's in the big red barn, I wonder what's in it for me.

It begins with a h and rhymes with zorse, hmm, what do you think it could be?

Zorse, another made up word, but I think it gives you a pretty big clue, doesn't it?

It's a horse, that's right.

Horse starts with a h sound, doesn't it?

I hope that you try this activity at home and if you do, I'd love for you to send me a letter or a picture of the thing you created and as a bonus, you get one of these special little booklets, activity booklets from the station if you include your address.

Okay, looks like it's time to say goodbye and I might have enough time to sing our ABC song, if not we'll just keep singing it.

Ready, here we go.

A, B, C ya later, D, E, F, G, I'm gonna miss ya, H, I have to go now, J, hey, 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 best friend and I hope that you come back tomorrow where we're gonna do a fun experiment using milk called magic milk.

Okay, we'll see you then boys and girls.

Goodbye.
