How's this to do?

Okay, Herbie. Please.

Wait, Herbie, this whole time you were a beatboxer? Yeah. Why didn't you tell me? I forgot.

Oh, Herbie, I wonder what's in this box.

I'm curious. I think we should take the lid off.

Take it off. We took the lid off. Ooh!

I see a shape. Do you know what this shape is called?

It looks like a square, but it has two sides that are longer.

It's called a rectangle. Good job.

Let's see what our rectangle surprise is. Take it out, take it out, take it. Out!

What are these? It's a box of crayons.

There's a rectangle on the front of the box of crayons. These two sides are a marker.

What do we do with crayons? We draw with them.

Do you like to draw? I do too. It's so much fun.

Let's get out our magic wand and create a rectangle.

Get out your wand. One. Two.

Three. Rectangle. We did it!

Two longer sides. Two shorter sides and four corners.

How the rectangle turned. Is it still a rectangle?

Yes, it's still a rectangle. Look at all these rectangles.

What letter does the word music begin with?

Yes. M. Let's go meet my friend Kevin, who plays music.

He's a wonderful musician. Come on, let's go.

Hi, Kevin. Oh, hi, Miss Rachel. Hi, friends. Can you tell our friends what this is?

Oh, this is my favorite instrument. The cello. Wow. The cello.

How about I play you a little something? We would love

that.

Wow.

That was amazing. Oh, thank you so much. I appreciate that.

How long have you been playing the cello? When did you start? How old were you? Oh, well, I started the cello when I was six years old.

He was a kid like you when he started the cello. Would you like to play an instrument?

Oh. Wow. You've been playing this a long time. Do you ever still make mistakes?

All of the time. I make mistakes all the time, even now. But it's okay to make mistakes because you can learn and grow from them.

Wow. Mistakes are good because you learn. Absolutely. Wow.

How did you make those sounds? I was using my mouth to make

all my percussive sounds. Wow. He used his mouth to make those sounds. Wow.

It's so neat how you use your mouth to make those sounds and beatbox. And you play the cello at the same time,

and you share this unique sound and gift with the world. Oh, thank you so much. I think it's so important for all of us to find what's important

and beautiful inside of us, and share that with others who need that love. Wow, we all have a gift to share with the world.

Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with us today. Oh thank you. It's my pleasure.

Thank you friends for listening. Ooh, milk.

Mango meatballs. Ooh.

Melon. Macaroni. Mashed potatoes.

Muffin. Yummy. I'll take everything on the menu.

Let's do some rhymes together. If the two words rhyme, we'll jump.

You ready? Hop and mop.

Yes. Hop and mop rhyme. They sound the same at the end.

How about hop and cat?

No. Hop and Cat do not rhyme. They don't sound the same at the end.

How about a really, really, really tricky one? Hop and hat.

No. Hop and hat don't rhyme. They sound the same at the beginning. Because they both start with the letter H.

But they don't sound the same at the end, so they don't rhyme. How about hop and top?

Hop top hop top hop top. Hop and top rhyme.

Yay they sound the same at the end. Hop, top. Rhyme.

You did a great job with your rhymes today.

What shape is this? It looks like the circle, but it's stretched.

It also looks like something we eat for breakfast in the morning, and chickens lay them.

That's right, an egg. This shape is called an oval.

Oh, coming right up. Oh, Ms. Rachel, a triangle.

Oh, this looks like a triangle. But this is actually a 3D

shape called a cone. Oh, I understand.

No I don't. How can I tell the difference between a triangle and a cone?

Oh, okay. Herbie, I can help with that. So let's draw a triangle.

Okay. A triangle is 2D.

And it's flat. So here's our triangle. And I can put it between my hands and it's flat.

Yeah it's flat but a cone is 3D. It's solid. Look it's not flat. Oh.

A cone is 3D and a triangle is 2D.

You got it. It's flat. Back to your cone.

Certainly. That will be $1. Do you take Apple sauce pay?

Sure. What about breaking 100? Yes.

Can I borrow $100? Herbie.

Can you get out a towel or a scarf? Sing along. My scarf it has four corners.

Four corners has my scarf. And had it not four corners. It would not be my scarf. One.

Four corners has my cape and had it not four corners. It would not be my cape.

One, two, three, four. And had it not four corners, it would not be my cape.

La la la la. Wow. Okay.

La la la. Okay. Herbie it still sounds a little bit too high. Okay.

Do you like animals, Herbie? Yeah, I love animals. Okay. Okay. So. So maybe we can think of a bird tweet.

Tweet as high and then a cow mooing as low.

Oh, I understand Moo is low and tweet is high.

Yes, I did it. You got it. Yeah. Come on, bring it in.

Yeah. What letter does mouse begin with.

Yes. M. Can you pretend your thumb is a little mouse
