[bright upbeat music] - [Narrator] Funding for this program was provided by the JPB Foundation.

[bright upbeat music] - Hi friends, I'm Shannon Hitchcock, I'm the author of Saving Granddaddy's Stories: Ray Hicks, The Voice of Appalachia.

My book is illustrated by Sophie Page.

Sophie is a mixed media illustrator who crafts her images out of clay, paper, fabric and wire.

This book is a picture book biography.

And what that means is this an illustrated book about an actual person's life.

So here we have the cover of Saving Granddaddy's Stories.

Let's get started.

Ray Hicks grew up among the shimmering peaks and coves of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

But times were hard.

Ray often went hungry.

Mountain folks said their bellies were eating their backbones.

Ray kept from starving by picking wild berries, gathering chestnuts, snatching a turnip from a neighbor's garden.

When I say that Ray's belly was eating his backbone, that's an example of figurative language.

There's a lot of figurative language in this book, be on the lookout for it.

It's a way that we make our stories more colorful.

Most every day, Ray walked to granddaddy Ben's house to fill up on stories.

Granddaddy didn't read stories, he told stories.

Jack tales handed down through their family while hoeing corn, gathering herbs, rocking by the fire as logs crackled and popped.

Pay special attention to this spread because we're gonna repeat it later on in the book.

So we have Ray's granddad telling him stories but later on, Ray is gonna tell these same stories to his own children.

That's what's called passing down a family tradition.

Granddaddy started his stories by saying now Jack.

Same Jack as Jack and the Beanstalk but mountain folks changed him to fit their way of living.

Their Jack was a poor mountain boy.

Their Jack lived in a log cabin, worked hard farming, traded his cow for a magic bean because he was starving.

Notice that giant Beanstalk and the cow that Sophie crafted in three dimension.

Ray wore hand me down britches as wide as a creek and short enough to wade across it.

On the three mile walk to school, they swap from side to side.

The other kids called him old wide pockets.

I think we can agree that that was not very nice.

These kids were making fun of Ray because of his clothes.

One day Ray's teacher read Jack and the Beanstalk.

Ray didn't like it much.

He asked to tell it the mountain way.

Notice the pop#* stove in the corner.

That's a clue that we're reading a book that takes place a long time ago.

Ray imitated granddaddy Ben and spread his arms wide.

He told about Jack climbing the bean tree, stealing the giant's bed cover, chopping until the bean tree fell clear across two mountains.

After Ray finished, his smile was as wide as his britches.

So Ray did a really great job telling these stories to his schoolmates.

When Ray was a teenager song catchers traveled the country recording folk songs.

Ray's camp sang loved some ballad, fiddled and danced, strummed handmaid banjos and dulcimers.

So this is another thing that Sophie did a really great job with.

She has an outline of the map of the United States here in the background.

Let's talk for just a second about song catchers.

Song catchers were people who traveled across the United States between the first world war and the second world war.

And they went into these remote areas and recorded folk songs because they were afraid they would be forgotten.

For the first time, Ray told Jack tales to folks about mountain corn, it made him feel important.

Ray grew as tall and thin as a corn stalk.

He earned his keep being a Jack of all trades, chopping trees, building houses, fixing cars, whatever it took to scrape by.

He entertained all the folks he worked with.

Knew so many stories he could talk all day and most of the night.

So what do you think a Jack of all trades is?

There're clues in the text.

When we tell you that Ray earned his living doing more than one thing.

Jack of all trades is somebody who has a lot of different jobs.

Granddaddy died on a cold February day.

He would never tell another Jack tale but Ray vowed the stories would live on.

So now we know what Ray's quest is.

He wants to save granddaddy stories.

So he's gonna go on a journey to do that.

That spring, Ray thought of granddaddy with every seed he planted.

He nestled the Jack tales in his heart.

He stacked them like firewood in his memory.

Ray grieved for a long, long time, until he told granddaddy's stories to a girl who warmed his heart like the sun, Rosa Harmon.

Before long, she became his bride.

So here we have Ray and Rosa getting married.

Years rolled by like a mountain stream.

Ray and Rosa raised five children.

He passed the Jack tales onto them, hoeing corn, gathering herbs, rocking by the fire as logs crackled and popped.

Do you remember that language from the earlier spread?

It's a repeat and we have Ray passing on the family tradition.

Ray would tell stories to anyone who would listen, friends, neighbors, school children, always sticking close to home.

20 years passed in the blink of an eye.

Ray heard tell of the first international storytelling festival.

He took a chance and hightailed it through fall painted mountains to Jonesborough, Tennessee.

So Ray is gonna leave the mountain, he's gonna go to Jonesborough to share granddaddy's stories.

Ray told his tale sitting on a bale of hay.

The audience had never heard anyone quite like him before.

A teller who lived his stories gone cold and hungry.

So here we have Ray on the bale of hay and he's sharing his stories.

In Jonesborough, Ray became a star.

For 10 years, news spread about him like a mountain mist.

Finally he won the grand prize for yarn spinners and tellers of tales.

He traveled to the Smithsonian, marveled at the revolving door, met the vice president, a fellow named Bush.

So here we have Ray in Washington, DC.

Why do you think he marveled at a revolving door?

He'd never seen one before.

Living on the mountain was very different than being in Washington, DC.

Now granddaddy stories would live on, but Ray's heart was longing for home.

He returned to the shimmering peaks and coves of the Blue Ridge Mountains, lived in the same house he was born in, grew potatoes as big as bolders and corn that touched the clouds and he never turned away anyone who wanted to hear a story.

So we've come full circle.

We started among the shimmering peaks and coves of the Blue Ridge Mountains when Ray was a little boy and now we've returned to that same location with Ray as an old man.

For those of you who are interested in knowing more about Ray, there is an author's note at the very end of the book.

And what I wanna leave you with is I hope Saving Granddaddy stories inspires you to listen to stories from the trusted adults in your life.

And I'm hoping it inspires you to also tell stories of your own.

- Hi movers and shakers.

This is Violet, and I'm here again with my friend Jeremy.

And he's gonna help us sing a song.

First I wanna shout out one of our friends Durney who helps us read stories sometimes.

She requested this song because she wanted us to spread some joy and positivity during these challenging times.

- Thank you violet once again for having me come on and share a song with you about feeling good.

I have a question for you.

What do you do when you're having a bad day?

- I like to laugh or play games with my friends.

I even like to sing and dance with them too.

- Nice, that's so funny because I love those same things too.

I love hanging out and sitting with my friends.

It always makes me so happy.

In fact, I have a song that I think you would love and I think most of you would know.

If you do, feel free to sing along, move your hands, dance in your seat or jump up and down and dance and sing along with us.

It's called Can't Stop The Feeling.

[bright upbeat music] - Hi learners, my name is Ms Trinette.

And I'm so excited to be working with you all for today's lesson.

Today we will complete three activities.

For the first one, we will segment phonemes.

We will identify rhymes for the second activity.

And for the last one, we will work with the short "e" sound.

Let's begin with segmenting phonemes.

Remember, we're going to listen for words and we're going to take those words and break them down into their individual sounds.

I will do the first one for you.

I will say the word and then tell you each sound that I hear in the word.

Here's the first word, step.

I'm going to break that down into /s/ /t/ /e/ /p/.

See how easy that is?

Now it's your turn.

I'm going to say a few words and you're gonna tell me the individual sounds you hear in that word.

Here's your first word, steep.

I'll say it again, steep.

What are the sounds that you hear in the word steep?

That's correct, /s/ /t/ /ee/ /p/.

See how easy that is?

I'm gonna give you a few more words.

Here's the next one, poke.

Tell me the sounds you hear in the word poke.

Great job.

How about, spoke?

That's right /s/ /p/ /o/ /ke/.

Here's a few more, note.

What are the sounds that you hear in the word note?

Great job learners.

You're on a roll.

Here's the next one, glass.

Can you tell me all the sounds you hear in the word glass?

Correct, /g/ /l/ /a/ /ss/.

Here's one more, pat.

Tell me all the sounds that you hear in the word pat.

/P/ /a/ /t/ correct.

Great job learners.

Let's move on to another activity.

Learners, you will now listen for a pair of words and you're going to tell me if those words rhyme.

For example, if I said hot and pot you will tell me that they rhyme because they both end with the -ot at the end of the word or each word.

Here's another example, reed, seed.

Can you repeat that?

Reed, seed.

Do those words rhyme?

That's correct.

The ending sound in reed in seed are -eed and they both rhyme.

Now you will see some picture cards on your screen and you will tell me yes if they rhyme or no if they don't rhyme.

Learner's, name the pictures that you see.

Yes, you see a boat and a bag.

Do the picture names rhyme?

No they do not.

Boats and bags do not rhyme.

Here's the next example.

The picture names are fox and Ox.

Do these picture names rhyme?

You're correct.

Yes, they do rhyme.

All right here's the next example.

The picture names are yak and map.

Do these picture names rhyme?

No they do not.

Learners, the picture names are nest and vest.

Do these names rhyme?

You are correct.

Yes they do rhyme.

Learners here's our last example.

The picture names are hawk and lock.

Do these picture names rhyme?

You are correct.

The answer is no, they do not rhyme.

Now we will practice reading some words that have vowel team and you'll have to let me know if you hear short vowel "e" or long vowel 'e".

For example, here I have a loaf of what?

Yes bread.

What's the word?

Bread.

It has a vowel team, but what vowel do you hear?

That's right "e".

Which is a short vowel "e".

Here's the next word.

Repeat after me, head.

What vowel sound do you hear?

That's correct, "e" and is that short "e" or long "e"?

"E" makes the short "e" sound.

Here's the next word, bean.

What is the vowel that you hear in that word?

Yes "e" and yes is it this short or long?

That's right, long vowel "e".

Here's the next word, red.

What vowel sound do you hear?

That's correct "e".

Yes you are correct.

It is a short vowel "e".

Here's the last one.

Repeat after me, sweet.

What vowel sound do you hear?

That's right, "e".

And you are correct.

It makes the long vowel "e" sound.

Great job learners.

Let's move on.

Learners, I have a word here on the board.

The word is bread.

Bread has a vowel team in it.

Usually the vowel team makes the long vowel sound but in this case, the vowel team makes a short vowel sound.

So instead of reading as breed, I'm actually going to read it as bread.

Let's take a look at another word.

The word is health.

What's the word?

Yes, health.

Can you spot the vowel team in the word health?

Yes, ea is the vowel team.

This is another example where normally ea will make a long vowel sound.

If I read it that way it will be heelth.

That doesn't make sense.

But if I read it as a short vowel sound, the word is health.

So sometimes you have to read the word if it's an unfamiliar word and you recognize that there is a vowel team, try to read it as a long vowel sound.

And if it doesn't sound right or it doesn't sound correct, try to read it as a short vowel sound to see if it makes sense.

Great job learners.

Learners as you can see, I have some word cards here.

The vowel team ea, in these words will stand for the short "e" sound.

Let's practice and blend them together.

/D/ /ea/ /f/.

If I bring them over, /d/ /ea/, then I bring over the F, /d/ /ea/ /f/, deaf.

Let's try another one.

/B/ /r/ /ea/ /th/.

Let's bring them a little closer.

/B/ /r/ /ea/ /th/, breath.

Great job.

Now for our last activity, we're going to take a look at some words.

I would like for you to read the words with me and then we'll go to try to find the vowel teams if we can.

Let's read them together.

Bread, dead, dream, thread.

Next line, wealth, sweat, dread, steam.

And the third line head, clean, spread, tread.

Do you see any vowel teams in any of those words?

That's right.

In bread there's the "ea" vowel team.

Also in dead, dream and thread.

Now as we discussed earlier, in the word bread, the "ea" team makes the short "e" sound rather than the long "e" .

And dead, it also has the same rule that applies where you hear these short "e" and not the long "e".

But if we go to the word dream, that "ea' vowel team represents the long vowel sound.

Let's quickly see if we can identify the vowel teams in the rest of the words.

There's a 'ea" vowel team in wealth, sweat, dread, and steam as well as in head, clean, spread and tread.

Learners you did an excellent job today working with vowel teams.

That's oftentimes either makes a long vowel "e" sound or the short vowel "e" sound.

I hope you were able to learn something new today and until we meet again, bye bye for now.

[upbeat music] - Okay, so that's what happens in the morning.

- [Woman] Yes.

- What happens in the evening?

- It's kind of like the same routine.

- When you hear the word routine, you might think boring.

But routines help kids learn good habits for everything from healthy eating, to doing homework.

To set up a routine, my family made a schedule together.

Some things like eating breakfast and brushing teeth, we put on a schedule every day.

But we also plan for fun things to look forward to like family game night and a special treat each week.

Now my child knows what to expect each day.

[speaks foreign language] Making our schedule was easy and it's really made life better.

We pack lunches after dinner and pick out clothes before bed.

So getting off to school the next morning is less hectic.

Following a routine at home has been great practice for following a routine at school.

Our schedule helps my child feel comfortable and confident.

That gives him the freedom to explore the world and learn new things.

And there's nothing boring about that.

[bright upbeat music] - Hi everyone, my name's Norah.

And today I'm gonna show you how I like to be a scientist at home and how you can be one too.

Today is a special day because I have a mystery to solve.

[bright upbeat music] Do you wanna help me solve it?

You see, I got this wonderful plant as a gift and I'm really excited about it because I love looking at plants when I go outside for a walk in my neighborhood or when I go to the park.

And I even like keeping plants in my house like these.

Now the problem is, that I don't know what kind of plant this is, so I don't know how to take care of it.

So today I need to become a plant detective.

And you can be one too.

You can help me out.

We're gonna use our powers of observation to find out what kind of plant this is and to learn how we can take care of it.

So, I wonder if I can use my powers of observation to look closely at the plant and learn something more about it.

Let's take a look.

[upbeat music] I notice a couple of things when I look at my plant up close.

The first thing I noticed about my plant is that it has a lot of green on it.

I see it has a lot of these green leaves.

I also notice that my leaves are all kind of the same shape.

They all look like oval shapes to me.

It looks like it has a lot of oval shaped green leaves.

What else do you notice?

I also notice that my green leaves are growing out of this part of the plant right here.

This part of the plant is called the stem.

And I see one stem coming this way and then another stem growing off of this way and another stem growing down here.

So this plant has a lot of different stems.

I also notice that my stem is a different color than my leaves.

My stem down here is brown.

It's kind of brown, tan color but some of the stem is kind of green too up here.

One more thing I notice is that I can feel the leaves very gently.

And I noticed that the leaves feel kind of waxy and the stem feels very hard and a little bit, it's mostly pretty smooth.

Its kind of feels like wood, very smooth wood.

Okay, now I think that I should write down all of those great observations.

I'm going to draw a picture of my plant and label all the observations that we made on it.

Okay, so we noticed that my plant had two colors on it.

We noticed it had green and it had brown, sort of a brown, tan kind of brown color.

So I've got my two crayons that are my two different colors, and I'm gonna start by drawing the stem of my plant.

So my stem was brown, this brown color and here's my stem of my plant.

And then I remember that this plant had more than one stem.

It had a little stem coming out down here and then it had another stem that came out up here too.

So it had more than one stem.

And I'm gonna label this part of my picture.

I'm gonna write s-t-e-m for stem and color it.

Okay, I also noticed the leaves on my plant.

Now my leaves were green.

So I'm going to draw some green leaves growing out of my stems.

Can you remember what shape our leaves were?

I think they were kind of oval circle shapes.

So I'm gonna draw oval leaf and another oval leaf.

And I remember noticing that all my leaves were kind of different sizes.

There were some that were bigger and some that were a little bit smaller.

Maybe some tiny ones over here.

And maybe some big ones over here but it had a lot of leaves.

So I wanna make sure I draw a lot of leaves coming off my plant.

They came off from all different parts of the stem.

And then I'm gonna color those in.

[soft upbeat music] And I'm gonna label those, I'm gonna label them over here, leaves, leaves.

Now there's one more part that we sometimes see on plants.

Did you see any flowers on this plant?

I don't remember noticing any flowers on this plant.

This plant just has stems and leaves.

So we don't need to draw any flowers.

Okay, now that we've made our observations and we've drawn our picture to look at and remind ourselves of what we noticed about our plant, it's time to see if we can find a match.

Let's play a game.

I'm gonna use some plants that I already have and I know what kind of plant they are and let's see if we can compare them to our new plant and see if we can find a match.

We're gonna look for things that look and feel the same and different about each plant.

Are you ready for plant number one?

[upbeat music] Plant number one.

So let's see what we notice about this plant.

Well first I notice that this plant is green too.

So that's something that it has in common with our mystery plant.

[beep] What else do you notice?

When I look at this plant I notice that the leaves, this part of the plant are a different shape.

I notice that these leaves are kind of like a triangle.

They're sort of spiky, they come all out in big spikes.

[beep] I also notice that this plant does not really have a stem.

So in our drawing, we can see we have that brown stem that our mystery plant had.

This plant really just has a lot of leaves all on top of each other.

So there is no stem there.

[beep] What else do you notice about this plant?

I notice that this plant is a lot bigger than our plant but my plant is a baby, so it's pretty small.

What else do we notice?

Let's see if I can feel anything different.

Oh, so the leaves feel a little bit waxy which is what our leaves felt like before too.

They're kind of the same feeling [beep] but they don't look the same.

They're green, but they're kind of splotchy.

They have these little like polka dots on them that my plant did not have.

[beep] They also have this little spikes on the side that my plant also didn't have.

My plants leaves were very smooth.

I think we found a lot of things that were different between the mystery plant and plant number one.

I don't think it's a match.

Now we have plant number two.

[bright upbeat music] So what I notice the first about plant number two is that it's green too just like our mystery plant had a lot of green.

And its leaves are green but I noticed that it's stem is brown.

That's the same as our mystery plant too.

That's a lot of things in common.

[beep] But I also noticed that well our stem was kind of wavy and curved.

This stem is very straight.

It goes straight up in the middle of the plant.

[beep] I'm also seeing that this stem is really skinny.

It's smaller than my finger if I put my finger next to it.

But our mystery plant, the stem was a little bit thicker.

It was bigger than my finger.

So that's a difference.

[beep] Let's look at the leaves.

Our mystery plant had these round leaves that were different sizes.

But let's look at these leaves.

What do we notice?

I think these leaves are really small and they're all kind of the same size.

They're all really small.

And they're really little spikes.

They're just a little bit like a line.

They're not a circle.

They're not an oval shape.

And let's very gentle, they're kind of pokey.

They're not soft or waxy like our leaves in our mystery plant.

They're pretty different.

[beep] I'm also noticing that this plant has a ton of leaves.

It has leaves all over.

Our plant had a lot of different leaves but I think this one has more.

[beep] So let's see.

Did we find more things the same or different?

They had some things that were the same like the colors and the stem had the same color, the leaves had the same color.

But I think there's a lot of things that are different about our mystery plant and this plant.

Not a match.

Let's try plant number three.

Okay, what do we notice about plant number three?

[bright upbeat music] Well, it is a little bit bigger than our plant.

That's true.

Let's see, what do I notice?

I notice I see these green leaves and there's a lot of leaves.

They're green just like our leaves were.

[beep] And I even notice they have the same oval shape.

I'm seeing a lot of oval shape leaves.

And if I feel them, they feel kind of waxy just like our mystery plant.

[beep] Now let's look at the stem.

Let's find the stem on this plant.

Oh, I see this plant has kind of a lot of different stems.

It has one going this way, one going this way and this way and this way.

And I notice that those stems are brown just like on our mystery plant.

[beep] And if I feel the stem, it feels kind of hard and wooden just like our mystery plant.

So that's also the same.

[beep] So I'm noticing that it has the same feel for the stem and the leaves, that it's the same colors for the stem and the leaves.

The leaves are the same shape.

I think we did it.

We found a match.

So what kind of plant is this?

This is a Jade plant.

I think our mystery plant and this Jade plant are a match.

We did it.

We found our plant.

Our plant matched the Jade plant.

This is so exciting.

Now I can look up all the information about how much I should water the plant and how much sunlight it needs.

If I need to put it directly in the sun or if it needs to live in the shade.

Thank you so much for your help fellow plant detectives.

I think we've solved this mystery.

You can be a plant detective at home too.

If you want, you can use a plant in your house or you could find one outside in nature and look really closely at the plant.

Make some observations about what you see and then write down what you notice.

You can draw a picture of your plant like we did today and label the different parts and write down all the details about what you notice of your plant.

And then you can find some plants online or in a book to match up with them.

Thank you so much for helping me out today.

And remember that you can be a scientist every day when you stop to notice and wonder about the world around you, bye.

[upbeat music] [speaks foreign language] [bright upbeat music] - Hi friends, my name is Morgan, and today we're going to be detectives.

Do you know what a detective is?

Right, a detective is someone who searches for clues and investigates to find the answers.

And today we're gonna search for clues and investigate to see if we can figure out how our friends are feeling.

Because when we know how our friends are feeling helps us be better friends.

Now like detectives, we're gonna look for visual clues but we also need to make sure we're listening to figure out how others are feeling.

Because when we know how others are feeling and how we're feeling, it helps us understand each other better and it's easier to work and play together.

Now, are you ready to be detectives?

Great cause we need some good detectives today.

All right.

So first, we need to know where we feel our feelings.

Where do you think we feel our feelings?

Yeah, you're right.

We feel 'em all over.

We feel them in our head, in our heart, in our hands, in our whole body.

So let's keep that in mind when we're looking for clues today.

So we need to learn what feelings we have and then we need to look for those clues for those feelings.

Now, our first feeling that we need to look for is happy.

Do you know what happy means?

Yeah, happy is a good feeling.

It's when something good happens when think about something good.

And what do you think someone's face might look like when they're happy?

Can you show me?

Ready, one, two, three.

Those are great faces.

That makes me happy seeing all of your happy faces.

Yeah, someone might be smiling, their eyes are open and their bodies, their bodies might be up tall.

Great job.

So those are some great clues that we should look for today when someone's happy.

Just like this face.

This can help us with our clues.

So this smiley face, eyes are open and it's a smiley face, okay.

Our next feeling is sad.

Do you know what sad means?

Yes sad is a not so good feeling.

When something bad happens and it makes us upset or something goes wrong and we're not very happy.

What does someone's face look like when they're sad?

Right, they might be frowning or their eyes may be looking down.

They might have tears on their face, that's okay.

And their bodies might be hunched over.

When's a time that someone might feel sad?

Yeah, I might get sad when there's no swings left on the swing set and I can't play.

And when we see a friend that's sad, we can go over and we can talk to them and we can see how we can help them feel better.

So those were all really good clues for sad.

So what did we say?

We said we would, we might be frowning or your eyes might be down.

So this is our sad face to help us with those clues today.

Our next feeling is angry.

Do you know what angry means?

Yeah, angry is a not so good feeling when we're mad about something that went wrong or went bad.

And when we're angry what do you think our bodies might look like?

Yeah what about our faces?

Right, when we're angry, our bodies might get tense, we might cross our arms, our muscles get tight.

Our faces might get red.

Sometimes people's faces get really scrunched up and tight like this.

Yeah it's a not so good feeling.

And when is the time that someone might be angry?

Yeah if someone took my toy, I would be angry too.

So those are all some really good clues for us to figure out when a friend might be angry.

So we have our angry face here that can help us to be detectives and find these clues, okay.

Her eyebrows are in and their mouth may be open cause they're so mad, okay.

Our next feeling is afraid.

Do you know what afraid means?

Yeah afraid is a not so good feeling when we're scared or worried about something that might happen.

For example, when I learned how to ride my bike I was afraid that I might fall off.

But when I practice enough, then I wasn't afraid anymore.

Can you show me what someone's face might look like when they're afraid?

Ready, one, two, three.

Yeah, good afraid faces.

So when someone might be afraid, their bodies might be backing away.

Their eyes might be really wide open and their mouth might be open or sometimes people might put their hands on their face or cover their eyes, okay.

Those are all clues for when someone might be afraid.

So we have our afraid face to help us with some clues.

So their eyes are open, their eyebrows are up.

Their mouth might be open as well, okay.

And we have one last feeling to look for today and that feeling is surprised.

Do you know what surprised means?

Surprise means when something happens that we didn't expect and it can be a good feeling or sometimes it can be a not so good feeling.

When is the time that someone might be surprised?

Right, I might be surprised if it's snows in the summertime.

That would be a really big surprise because it doesn't snow in the summer when it's hot out.

What would your face look like if you saw snow in the summertime?

Ready, one, two, three.

Oh my gosh, wow.

Those are some good surprise faces.

We might say, oh my gosh, I'm so surprised it's snowing or what, it's snowing in the summer?

Great.

And so some of those clues were, maybe our eyes are big, our eyebrows are up, our hands might be on our face, our mouth is open, our bodies might be up tall.

We are very surprised.

Great clues.

So here's our surprise face to help us with those clues.

Our mouth is open, our eyes are open and our eyebrows are up, okay.

You just helped us come up with some really great clues for these feelings.

So for example, we have happy and we have a smiley face.

For angry we have a really tight face and our eyebrows are in.

Afraid, we have our eyes wide open and our face a little open and we might be back, going backwards.

Sad, we have a frowny face and our eyes are down.

And surprised we have our mouth open and our eyes open and our eyebrows are up, okay.

Now our job as detectives today is going to be looking at pictures and seeing if we can figure out how those people in the pictures are feeling.

Are you ready to use your detective skills and these clues to help us figure that out?

Great, okay.

So here's our first picture.

What do you see in this picture?

What do you think our friend is feeling?

Yeah, what are some clues that you think that?

Right she has a big smile, she's standing up tall.

Her eyes are open.

To me those sound like clue's for happy.

Smiling, eyes are open.

Great job.

Yeah I think our friend is happy.

So now here's our next picture.

What do you think this friend is feeling?

It looks like he's sitting on a chair.

His body's kind of hunched over.

He's frowning.

What are all those clues for?

Yeah those sound like clues for sad.

He's frowning, his eyes are looking down.

What do you think our friend might be saying?

Yeah, maybe our friend could be saying that he's sad because there were no games left and during game time.

And he didn't get a chance to play the game he wanted.

And if we see a friend that's sitting on a chair and he's sad, what do you think we could do?

Right, maybe we could go over to him and see if we could help him or we could play a different game with him until the other game's available.

So when we know our friend is sad, we can go over to them and talk to them and help them feel better.

Great, okay.

Here's our next picture.

I wonder what our friend is feeling here.

What are some clues that we can see on his face?

Yeah, his eyes are really big.

It looks like he's backing away.

Maybe he just saw a dinosaur.

What would your face look like if you saw a dinosaur?

Yeah, and how would you feel?

I think I'll feel afraid too, yeah.

Do we think those clues are what our friend is feeling?

Let's see.

His eyes are big and his eyebrows are up.

His mouth was kind of open and his body's moving backwards.

I think you got it.

I think he's afraid.

Good job.

Okay are you ready for another one?

Okay here it is.

So this picture has two boys in it and they both don't look very happy to me.

What do you think they're feeling?

Yeah, what, what do you think they might be saying?

It looks like they're arguing over that teddy bear.

Maybe both boys wanna play with it and they can't at the same time.

What would you feel like if you were arguing over a teddy bear?

Not, it seems like it would be a not so good feeling.

Let's see, their eyes are in, their faces look a little tight.

Their bodies are really tight cause they're pulling that teddy bear, right?

What are some of those clues for?

They're not smiling, it's not happy.

They're not frowning or tears are on their face.

I don't think it's sad.

Do you think they're angry?

Yeah their faces are tight, their eyebrows are in.

I think you're right, they look angry.

And we know that our friends are angry.

We can help them or when we're angry.

What are some things we can do when we or our friends are angry?

Great, we can count to 10, we can do some big belly breaths and then when we're ready to talk about it we can talk about it to our friends or trusted adult.

And that'll help us feel better.

Great job friends.

Okay, are you ready for one more?

Huh it looks like our friend is an astronaut and he's ready to go into space.

How do we think he's feeling in this picture?

What are some clues?

It looks like to me that he just found out he is going on a mission to the moon.

If someone just told you, you were going on a mission to the moon, how would you feel?

Let's look at our clues.

His eyes are open and his eyebrows are up and his mouth is open.

He's going to the moon.

How'd you feel?

I would feel a little surprised and maybe a little bit afraid because the moon is a really big new place.

Did you know you can feel two feelings at one time.

That's okay.

So our friend here might be feeling afraid and surprised that he gets to go to the moon.

He might even be happy.

He can be all those things.

Great job friends.

Those were some really good detective skills.

We just learned so many clues to figure out how our friends may be feeling.

You were able to look at those pictures of our friends faces and how their bodies are to see how they were feeling.

Because recognizing and learning how others are feeling helps us to be good friends.

And remember you can practice these detective skills every day.

You can even show your grown up these new detective skills.

Thanks so much for being a detective with me.

Bye friends.
