[bunniefuu]

Hi, friends.

Look. It's a surprise egg.

Should we open it and see what's inside?

Yeah? Okay.

Let's say our special words together,
and it will open.

Let's say, "I am smart."

One,

two,

three.

I am smart!

It's opening.

Wow!

A new land.

It's a pretend apple.

And a pretend alligator.

Wow!

What could that mean?

Can you help me figure it out?

Maybe the alligator is so hungry,

and his favorite food is apples.

That's not it.

Maybe the alligator wants to learn

to balance an apple on his head.

Whoa.

I wonder if I could do that.

Whoa.

I'm doing it.

Whoops. So fun.

But this isn't the answer.

Keep thinking!

What could this mean?

I know. We can figure it out, together!

What letter does apple start with?

Yeah, A!

What letter does alligator start with?

Yeah, A!

Alligator and apple both start with…

A.

That's what we needed to figure out.

Good job!

Oh no, friends.

The ground is lava.

We need to get across,

and we can only jump on stones
with the letter A on them.

Can you help? Jump with me.

Jump on A!

Which is next?

Which one do we jump to next?

Jump on… A. You got it.

Whoa. That's not the A.

Jump on A!

Uh-oh. This is getting tricky

because this is a lowercase A,

Which one is the A?

Yeah. Jump on A.

Awesome.

Which one now? We're almost there.

Jump on A.

We made it to the other side, friends.

Great job helping me with uppercase A,

and lowercase A.

Now the ground is rainbow clouds.

Jump with me on the rainbow clouds!

A unicorn!

What sound does A make?

Yeah, A says ah.

Can you do that?

Put your hands up and open.

Try it with me. Hands up and open.

You did it.
Let's do that with our A sound.

A says ah.

Awesome! How I remember that is

let's pretend our hands
are little puppets.

Hello? Hey, can you do that?

Hi. I'm a puppet.

And say we were walking around
with our puppet friends,

and we saw an alligator.

We might go, "Ah, an alligator!"

Ah! A says ah.

Let's sing our A song.

A says ah

A says ah

Alligator, apple
A says ah

Which group has letters?

Yes, this one.

Which group has numbers?

Yes, these are numbers.

Nice work.

Hooray!

Another surprise egg.

Let's say our special words to open it

'cause we wanna see
what the surprises are.

One,

two, three.

I am smart!

Wow. It's opening!

Oh my goodness.

I see a toothbrush…

and a pretend turtle.

Can you help me figure it out?

Oh no. This turtle looks sad.

I know. Maybe he's sad

because he doesn't know
how to brush his teeth. I can help you.

That's not helping.

I know. Maybe I should ask him,
"Are you okay?"

Can you help me?

Thank you. Let's ask him.

Turtle, are you okay?

No, I'm sad.

Let's see what's wrong.

What's wrong?

I don't know
what letter turtle starts with.

Oh.

Can you help?

Maybe if you tell Mr. Turtle
what letter turtle starts with,

he'll feel better.

Turtle starts with…

T.

Look, you helped Mr. Turtle.

I feel better.

I feel happy.

Turtle starts with T.

Great work.

And what letter
does toothbrush start with?

Toothbrush also starts with T.

That's what we needed to figure out.

Toothbrush and turtle

both start with the letter T.

What sound does T make?

Yeah. Tuh.

Can you do this? Tuh.

You take your pointer finger.

Let me see
you hold up your pointer finger.

Good job! Then, put it near your mouth.

That's right. And then, move it away.

That's it.

How I remember it is,

it's kind of like you have
a pretend toothbrush.

Get out our pretend toothbrush.
Have you got yours?

Now, we pretend to brush our teeth.
Brush, brush, brush.

And we take the toothbrush
away from our mouth.

We put the toothbrush down and away.

Let's try it. T says tuh.

Good job.

Tuh. You got it.

Let's do our T song.

T says tuh

T says tuh

Toothbrush, turtle

T says tuh

Oh no, friends.

Another word that begins with A

is stuck in this ooey, gooey slime.

Can you help?

Thank you.

Let's say our A sound
so we can get it out.

A says ah

Ah.

I see something. What could it be?

Oh, a bubble. Pop!

Oh, ah. A says ah.

What do you think it is, friends?

What is something that begins with A
that looks like that? Ah!

Ah, we got it out.

It's an astronaut.

Astronaut also begins with A.

Thank you for helping me
get him out of the slime.

Sort the objects, Mr. Aron.

Astronaut.

No. Astronaut.

Yes!

Toothbrush.

No. Toothbrush.

Yes.

Apple.

No. Apple.

Yes.

Tomato.

No. Tomato.

Yes.

Towel! No.

Towel.

Yes.

Tambourine.

No. Tambourine.

Yes.

Good job, Mr. Aron.

Next, we're gonna do something

really cool.

Okay. It's kind of hard,
but I know you can do it.

You can do hard things.

We're gonna do our two sounds.

Are you ready?

Yeah!

Ah, tuh.

Ah, tuh.

Ah, tuh.

We did it.

Now, we're going to blend them together.

Ah… tuh.

Ah… tuh.

Ahtuh.

Ahtuh. At.

At.

At!

We read a word, woo-hoo!

We read a word, woo-hoo!

We are readers, hooray!
We read a word, woo-hoo!

Wow, you must be so proud of yourself.

I'm proud of you.

Squeeze. Pat on the back.

Squeeze. Pat on the back.

I love myself.

Next, we're going to read a book.

And you are going to read the word "at."

You know how to read it now.

The word "at" will be in red,
and you'll fill it in.

Look, it's my friend
Reilly the Reading Cat.

He must've heard
that we're going to read a book,

and he wants to listen.

Meow.

He just said he loves being read to.

He can't wait
to hear you say the word "at."

So say it nice and loud.

Meow.

And the book is about you, Reilly!

You're going to love it. Are you ready?

Let's read!

Cat and his Mat,
by Ms. Rachel.

Illustrated by Loryn Brantz.

I'm the author of this book.

That means I wrote the words.
Loryn is the illustrator.

That means she drew the pictures.

You can write and illustrate a book too.

Cat wants a mat.

Where is a mat?

Is it

at the park?

No.

Is it…

at the ice cream store?

No.

Is it

at the pet store?

Do you think
it's gonna be at the pet store?

Let's see.

Yes! They have a mat.

Cat buys the mat.

Cat loves his mat!

His mat is where it's…

at! You got it.

Hi, friends. It's Ms. Keisha.

That was a great story.

Do you remember what the cat wanted?

That's right.

A mat.

Do you remember
where he finally found the mat?

Yes. The pet store.

How do you think he felt
when he found the mat?

Yes, that's right. Happy.

Oh no, friends.

One of our T words is stuck
in this ball of kinetic sand.

Can you help?

Thank you.

To get him out,
we have to say our T sound.

Nice and loud.
Do you remember our T sound?

Good.

Tuh.

It's working. It's opening.

I see our T word.

We're getting you out.
Don't worry. We're coming.

We're gonna get you out.

We did it.

Thank you so much.

Our T word that was stuck
in the kinetic sand was

tiger.

Tiger starts with T.

Tiger.

Hi, friends.
It's me, Mychal, the librarian.

Have you ever been to the library?

I'm so happy you're here at the library.

Do you know how much fun
there is at the library?

Guess what you can do.

You can read books.

You can play with toys.

Play with games.

Play with puzzles.

You can color with your friends.

Yes, or you can make friends
at the library.

At library story time.

That's one of my favorite places
to be at the library.

You get to listen to stories
with the librarian.

You get to dance. You get to sing songs.

You get to have
the time of your lives together.

And guess what's even better?

You can get your very own library card

to take the books home with you.
How cool is that?

We love you.
You will always belong at the library.

It's your library.

You belong here at the library,
and you always will.

Find your grown-up.
Come on by the library.

And don't forget
to tell us all about your trip.

We can't wait
to see you at the library. Yes!

Hooray!

Another surprise egg!

Let's say our special words nice and loud,

so we can see what these surprises are.

One, two, three.

I am smart!

Wow!

It is opening.

It's a really cool surprise.

First, we have

another music note!

So we need to figure out
what song to sing.

And next, this is really cool.

We have

a bathtub.

And what's inside the bathtub?

A little

turtle.

He's so cute!

Do you think the bathtub really works?

Let's turn it on.

Turn it on
Turn it on

Turn it

on!

It really works, friends.

Let's get this turtle nice and clean.

He loves it.

I love the water.

We're getting him so clean.

What song could we sing

that has a turtle and a bathtub?

I don't know.

Let's see what this turtle's name is.

What's your name?

My name is Tiny Tim.

His name is Tiny Tim.

That's the song we need to sing.

I had a little turtle. Did you guess it?

Let's sing it together.

Get out your turtle.

I had a little turtle
His name was Tiny Tim

I put him in the bathtub
To see if he could swim

He drank up all the water

He ate up all the soap

And now he's home sick in bed

With bubbles in his throat

Bubble bubble, bubble
Bubble, bubble, pop

Bubble bubble, bubble
Bubble, bubble, pop

Bubble bubble, bubble
Bubble, bubble, pop

Bubble bubble, bubble
Bubble, bubble, pop

Bubble bubble, bubble
Bubble, bubble, pop

Bubble bubble, bubble
Bubble, bubble, pop

How many syllables are in the word dog?

Clap with me.

Ready? Go. Dog.

How many syllables

Clap with me.

Ready? Go. Playground.

Yes, two.

How many syllables are in your name?

Try it today.

Nice work.

Excuse me, waiter.

-Yes, ma'am.
-Could I have tea, please?

Excellent choice.

-Tea coming right up.
-Thank you.

Here you are, ma'am. Your T.

I meant tea in a cup.

Oh yes.

Tea in a cup. Coming right up.

Here you are, ma'am. T in a cup.

Can I just have peas, please?

Of course. Peas coming right up.

Here you are, ma'am.

Your Ps.

Oh no, there are Ps everywhere.

Check, please.

Wow, friends!

Another surprise egg!

Let's say our special words
so we can see what's inside.

One,

two, three.

I am smart!

It's opening.

Wow.

Let's see what's inside.

I see something really cool.

It's a little boat.

With little paddles. It's a rowboat.

What else is in here? Let's see.

It's a little boy.

Let's put him in the rowboat.

Put him in
Put him in

Put him

in the boat.

Uh-oh. I see something from earlier.

What was this called?

An alligator.

GOOD JOB!

And there's one more thing.

Wow. Do you know what this is?

It's a music note.
It's called an eighth note.

Wow. What could all this mean?

Maybe we're supposed to sing a song.

Can you help me figure out
what song we are supposed to sing?

Thank you, friends.

Do you know a song
that has a rowboat in it?

Row, row, row your…

boat! That's what we're supposed to sing.

Let's sing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat."

Get out your paddles.

Row, row, row your boat

Gently down the stream

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily

Life is but a dream

This time,
let's pretend we see an alligator.

Row, row, row your boat

Gently down the stream

If you see an alligator

Don't forget to scream

Friends, it's time to get out

your magic crayon.

Wow.

It doesn't have to be real.
Mine is pretend.

Or you can get out
a real crayon and some paper.

What color is your crayon?

Wow, that's a nice color.

Let's start with an uppercase A.

Here we go.

Slant down
Jump to the top

Slant down
And go across

One more time, a little faster.

Slant down
Jump to the top

Slant down
And go across

I'm so proud of you!

Next, let's try a lowercase A.

Get out your magic crayon.

Here we go.

Draw a circle
And then a line down

Now, a little faster.

Draw a circle
And then a line down

We did it! You get a sticker.

Yay!

Oh no.

Our word that begins with A is stuck

in this ooey gooey slime.

Can you help?

To get it out, we need to say our A sound.

That's the only way
to get it out of the slime.

Do you remember the A sound?

A says ah.

Let's say it.

Ah.

Ah.

I see something coming out. It's working.

Ah.

Oh my goodness.
Do you see it? It's coming out.

It is our alligator.

He was stuck in the slime.

Thank you so much
for getting me out of the slime.

Now, let's draw our uppercase T.

Get out your magic crayon.

Let's do our uppercase T.

Here we go.

Draw a line down
And then across the top

You got it. A little faster.

Draw a line down
And then across the top

Wow! Now, our lowercase T.

Here we go.

Draw a line down
And then across the middle

A little faster.

Draw a line down
And then across the middle

You did it!

Wow. You get another sticker.

-Hey, Herbie. Guess what it's time for?
-Hi.

-What's it time for?
-The Rhyme of the Day!

Yay, it's time for The Rhyme of the Day!

And I need
your
help.

-Okay?
-Okay. You help us.

If the words rhyme, jump.

-Okay. I'm ready. Okay.
-Okay?

Let me try. Okay, I'm ready.

Mad and elevator.

-No, those don't rhyme.
-No?

They don't sound the same at the end.

-Right.
-How about mad and happy?

No jumping.
Those don't sound the same at the end.

-Those don't rhyme?
-No, but it's okay to make mistakes.

-Okay. I'll try again.
-Okay, let's try again.

How about mad and sad?

-Yay!
-Yay!

-Yay!
-That's The Rhyme of the Day!

-The Rhyme of the Day!
-Mad and sad rhyme.

-So we jump. Jump with us.
-They rhyme.

That was so much fun.

Mad and sad rhyme.

They sound the same at the end.
They are The Rhyme of the Day.

-Oh, Ms. Rachel.
-Yeah?

-I have one.
-Okay, great.

Cat and mat.

-Those rhyme!
-Yeah, let's jump.

Cat and mat.

Let's pretend that we're having a fair,

and if you win this game

you get five tickets.

-Can I play?
-Of course.

To win, you need to throw the spider

on to the ah and the tuh.

I can do that!

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

I'll keep trying.

Ah.

I did it.

Now do the tuh.

Tuh.

Tuh.

I can't do it.

-You can do hard things.
-I'll keep trying.

Tuh.

Tuh.

You did it. You get five tickets.

Yay!

A, B, C, D, E, F, G

H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P

Q, R, S, T, U, V

W, X, Y, and Z

Now I know my ABCs

Next time won't you
Sing with me?

Now I know my ABCs

Next time won't you sing

A, B, C, D, E, F, G

H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P

Q, R, S, T, U, V

W, X, Y, and Z

Now I know my ABCs

Next time won't you

Sing with me?

We had such a fun day together.

We learned the sound for A. Ah.

And the sound for T. Tuh.

And we put them together
to read a real word. At.

I am so proud of you.

Also, I wanted to share something.

Remember when our turtle was sad?

Did you know that it's okay to be sad?

Yeah. It's okay to be sad and mad.

It's okay to have big feelings.

Something that helps me
when I have big feelings

is taking a deep breath.

Smell the roses.

Blow out the candles.

Yeah. It can also help to talk to someone.

Talking about the way we feel

to a grown-up
can help us feel better. Yeah.

And the feeling won't last forever
because feelings change.

But it's okay to not be okay.

And I promise you will feel better soon.

Okay?

Well, I just wanted to say
that you are an amazing kid

and I love you.

Bye-bye, friends

Bye-bye, friends

Bye-bye, friends

I'll see you again real soon

Bye-bye.
