I have your application right here.
So the first thing I need is your full name.
(slide whistle whistling) No, your full name.
(slide whistle whistling) No, I know your name is Glen, but what's your full name?
(pensive trumpet music) Glen, everybody has a full name.
It's a first name, a middle name, and a last name, or sometimes it's a first name and a last name.
Do you know your full name?
(pensive heavy trumpet music) If you don't know your full name, you can call your parents or your guardian.
I think we should call your dad.
(phone beeps) (tune rings) Hello, Mr.
Gator.
It's me.
We are here and filling out Glen's application for swimming lessons and I need to know his full name.
(Mr.
Gator speaks indistinctly) - Glen David Gator.
That's it!
Okay, thank you so much.
(Mr.
Gator speaks indistinctly) - Have a good day.
Your full name is Glen David Gator.
First name Glen, middle name David, and last name Gator.
Let's write it.
(white board screeching) Thank you, Parks.
(audience applauding) Glen's first name is Glen!
His middle name is David, and his last name is Gator.

That's his full name.
Knowing your full name is important because you can tell it to important grownups, like a doctor or a teacher, or a swimming instructor.
Do you know your full name?
That's great!
And you know Glen's full name, Glen David Gator.
And now that we know our full names, we're ready to go to school.
(upbeat funky music) - Ahoy, mateys.
Welcome back to "Teaching in Room 9," our region's largest classroom.
I'm Miss Knarr and I'll be your captain today.
Diving deep into the depths of learning to read.
Our learning today is going to focus on breaking apart a word to the beginning sounds and the rhyme at the end.
Then we can switch out that beginning sound and make many new words in the same word families.
Let's go ahead and sing a song to help us practice.
♪ When we're reading new words ♪ Break apart what you heard, change the beginning sounds ♪ ♪ Look at all the words you found ♪ ♪ Then you will keep the rhyme ♪ Change the first sound this time ♪ ♪ Then just wait and you'll see ♪ ♪ You'll read all new words with me ♪ Nice, we're gonna go ahead and sing it one more time.
And this time, see if you can try to sing along with me.
♪ When we're reading new words ♪ Break apart what you heard ♪ Change the beginning sounds ♪ Look at all the words you found ♪ ♪ Then you will keep the rhyme ♪ Change the first sound this time ♪ ♪ Then just wait and you'll see ♪ ♪ You'll read all new words with me ♪ (audience applauding) Wow, you sounded amazing, friends!
Now we're gonna do an exercise to really warm up our brains.
We're going to chop a word into the beginning sounds and the rhyme, and then we'll blend it back together.
Let's go on and try one.
Say the word, light.
(bell clinks) Chop the sounds.
L, ight, light, great job!
Let's try another one.
Say the word, cage.
(bell clinks) Chop it, c, age, cage.
Great job.
Say the word, bus.
(bell clinks) B, us, bus!
Say the word, feet.
(bell clinks) F, eet, feet.
Say the word, top.
(bell clinks) Chop it up, t, op, top.
And say the word, nod.
(bell clinks) N, od, nod.
Nice job.
We're gonna keep practicing that, but we're gonna use our chart over here with some of our ocean words.
Let's go ahead and look at our first word here.
Go ahead and chop this word up with me.
The word is, fish.
(bell clinks) F, ish, fish.
Can you think of any other words that have that same ish rhyme at the end?
Yeah, I'm hearing so many wonderful words.
If we took away the F and put in a W, our new word would be, wish.
(bell clinks) Very good.
Now, what if we took that wish and took out the W and put in a D?
What's our new word?
Yeah, dish.
(bell clinks) Nice job.
Okay, let's look at our next word.
Our word is, shark.
(bell clinks) Chop up the sounds.
Sh, ark, shark.
Okay, now we're trying to think of new words with that ark at the end.
Go ahead and shout 'em out if you can think of anything.
Yeah, if we took out that sh and added in D, our new word would be dark.
(bell clinks) Great job.
Now what if we took out the D and put in a P, what's our new word?
Yeah.
Park.
(bell clinks) Great job.
All right, let's look at our last word down here.
Let's chop it up together.
Ship, sh, ip, ship.
Okay, so we're gonna keep that ip rhyme and switch up the beginning sound.
Yeah, if we change it to S, our new word would be sip!
(bell clinks) Now, what if we took out the S and changed it to D?
What would our new word be?
Yeah, dip.
(bell clinks) Great job!
Look at all the words we were able to make just using our same rhyme.
Let's sing our song one more time.
♪ When we're reading new words ♪ Break apart what you heard ♪ Change the beginning sounds ♪ Look at all the words you found ♪ ♪ Then you will keep the rhyme ♪ Change the first sound this time ♪ ♪ Then just wait and you'll see ♪ ♪ You'll read all new words with me ♪ Great job.
Ahoy, mateys!
(lively cheerful music) - Hi, and welcome to "Movement in Room 9."
My name is Ms.
St.
Louis, and I'm so excited that you are here and ready to move.
So stand up and let's get going.
Today we are traveling to the zoo to see all the different kinds of animals that we can see.
What's your favorite animal to see at the zoo?
Hmm.
Let's see if we can see one of those today.
First up, I see a penguin.
Can you waddle back and forth just like a penguin, waddling side to side.
Are you a slow penguin or a fast penguin?
Look at those penguins go.
Oh, let's keep going.
Ooh, I see the bears over there.
My favorite bear to see is the black bear.
What's your favorite bear to see?
Ooh.
So just like a bear, we're gonna run as fast as we can.
Like we're running all through the woods.
How fast can you run like a bear?
Ooh, are you a black bear running through the woods, or are you a polar bear running through the Arctic?
Ooh, excellent job bears.
Let's keep searching.
Ooh, over there, I see the lemurs.
The lemurs love to leap around.
Can you leap just like a lemur?
How far can you make your leaps?
Lemurs love to run and play!
Oh, look at all of those huge lemur jumps, you guys are doing awesome!
Let's keep looking.
Ooh, down there I see a small animal friend.
I see a little mouse.
Ooh, can you make little jumps just like a little mouse might do.
Maybe if they were scared, they would do a little jump.
Let's do four more little jumps.
One, two, three, four.
Ooh, excellent little mouse jumps.
Ooh.
All right, who do we see next?
I've spotted the alligators.
Ooh.
Let's see if we can snap like an alligator.
We're gonna bring our arms out and snap!
And big alligator snaps.
Keep going.
Ooh, look at those big alligator snaps.
Can you make little alligator snaps, like baby alligators?
And big alligator snaps, like parent alligators.
Oh, excellent job.
Ooh, let's keep going.
Woo, next I see the elephants.
Elephants are really big animals, so they stomp around.
Can you stomp around like an elephant?
Ooh, get those big stomps in, making as big a footprints as you can!
Ooh, excellent job.
You sound just like a herd of elephants.
Hmm, oh, I see some stingrays gliding through the water!
Ooh, can you glide just like the stingrays?
Ooh, when we glide, we use a smooth motion.
Very nice.
Ooh.
Excellent job.
You guys did such a great job seeing all the animals at the zoo today.
Did you happen to see your favorite animal?
Maybe we'll see them next time, back here in "Room 9."
Bye everyone.
(object rattling) - Welcome back, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen!
And look who we have with us today, Mr.
Bare Hands Beran!
- Hey.
And I brought Flower into the classroom today.
- Oh, look at Flower.
Oh my goodness.
Can you tell me a little bit about Flower?
- Yep, so Flower is a dwarf Nigerian goat.
- A dwarf Nigerian goat.
So Nigerian goat means they were found in what continent?
- In Africa.
- In Africa.
Oh, are they found anywhere else?
- Well, goats are pretty much found everywhere in the world.
Some species, subspecies or some breed of goat.
Really not a different species, it's a breed of goat.
- Oh, not as cute, that's we know.
- Yeah, now this one is dwarf and he's particularly small.
- Oh, okay.
- Yep, and I named him Flower because he looks like a skunk.
- Oh, but skunk stink.
- [Bare] Yeah.
- So why would you name it Flower?
- Well, if you've ever watched the particular show, there's a skunk in it named Flower.
- Oh, okay.
Now let's look at the front of his face.
It sticks out a little bit, can you tell me about that?
- Yeah, so they have very, very distinct eyes.
They've got very, very good eyesight, and they have exceptional depth perception.
That's why you can see goats walking on the side of cliffs and they can see exactly where they're gonna step next.
- Oh, without, they don't have to always look down 'cause they can look all around.
- They can.
- All right.
- And if you notice, their eyes are set on the side of their head, on the side, because they are prey items.
Like there's lots of things that like to eat goat besides just people.
- It's besides, - Yeah.
So they can see things coming in from behind them.
- Okay.
So what does Flower eat?
- So Flower is an herbivore.
He likes to eat a lot of different types of vegetables, and he especially likes dandelions.
- Dandelions.
Ooh, I think we have some of those in our classroom.
- [Bare] Yeah.
- I see some stuff coming off.
Is Flower shedding?
- Yep, so Flower is going through.
So as it grows he does shed his fur a little bit at a time.
And a lot of it comes off the bigger he grows.
- I bet he's a mammal.
- He is a mammal.
So a mammal would be able to thermal regulate or they can make their own body temperature.
They do have milk.
- Oh.
- And they do have fur.
- Are they born alive or from an egg?
- No, mammals are born alive and goats are born fully formed, and a couple of hours after they're born able to walk and run.
- Oh, wow.
Man, I still can't run correctly.
(both laughs) So he's a dwarf goat- - [Bare] Mm-hm.
- Dwarf Nigerian goat.
So how big would he get?
- Well, not gonna get too much bigger than this.
Maybe double the size.
Would you like to see how much he weighs?
- I would love to.
- Here we go.
Now he's gonna love nibbling on your hair.
- Oh that's a- - [Bare] 'Cause he's a nibbler.
- Just don't nibble it off.
- Yep.
So they do have two different types of teeth, inside the mouth they have one type of teeth in the front for pulling and cutting grass and then in the back they have crushing molar teeth to crush the grass up.
- Is that similar to what humans have?
- A little bit?
Yes.
Very similar.
- Okay, now tell me about these pretty ears.
- Yeah, they have excellent hearing and they can turn their ears all the way back and all the way forward so they can hear in front of them and they can hear 'em behind them.
- Oh, it's like teachers with eyes in the back of their head.
(laughs) - She Flower would make an excellent teacher, can see all the way around the classroom.
- All right.
Now how fast does Flower run?
- Well, goats are pretty quick and they're fast.
So they're quick and fast.
- Okay, tell me, quick and fast.
- All right.
So quick would be that they're fast off the start and they're able to move and turn and go left and right really quickly.
- Oh, okay.
- Fast would be how fast can they run in a straight line?
40 miles an hour, 40, 50 miles an hour.
- Woo, I think I'm quick, but fast, I am not.
- Yeah.
- Oh my goodness.
All right, I have one more question for you.
Do Nigerian goats make good pets?
- So Nigerian dwarf goats do make good pets.
They're very social in nature, they're easy to take care of, and they don't get very big.
- Well, as usual, thank you Mr.
Bare Hands for bringing in Flower!
Everybody say thank you.
Isn't he so cute?
Are you ready for some more learning?
Alrighty, I'll see you in a bit.
(playful upbeat music) - Hello, boys and girls.
Welcome to "Teaching in Room 9" math class with Mrs.
Ray.
I'm so glad you're here because today's lesson is all about measurement tools.
So come on in, take a seat and let's get started.
Now, what is measurement and why do we need to know about it anyway?
Well, measurement gives us information about an object.
Boys and girls, we can get all types of information, like, how heavy something is, how big it is.
We can even find out the amount that is inside and we can use so many tools to get this information.
So what we're gonna do today is we are going to look at some other measurement tools that will help us get this information.
Now, one place where we do a lot of measuring is in the kitchen.
When you are following a recipe, a recipe will give you directions, and in those directions, they will tell you the right amount to put into your recipe.
So it comes out tasting good and people wanna eat it.
Okay.
Now let's take a look at some of those tools.
When we are measuring a liquid, I have some water here and I colored it green so you could see it.
We want to use something like this.
This is called a measuring cup.
(bell clinks) It's for liquids because it gives us this little spout at the front so that we can pour our liquids safely and we don't make a huge mess.
Now, today, we are going to pretend that my recipe calls for one cup of water.
(bell clinks) I will follow the numbers on the side until I get to the one, and then I will stop.
Don't let me go too far.
(water splashing) Almost there.
Oh, that was perfect.
I had just enough.
Now I want to take my liquid and put it into my mixing bowl using the pour spout, just like that.
Now, if we are going to measure something dry, like flour, sugar, salt, pepper, you want to use something like these, these are called measuring spoons.
(bell clinks) And your recipe will tell you exactly how much to use.
So your cookies don't come out too salty and your cake doesn't come out too sour.
Who wants to eat that?
So today we are going to pretend that my recipe calls for a half a cup of flour.
(bell clinks) You take your big scoop.
Now we just can't dump this in there.
You take the back of your butter knife, smooth it out, and now you put the rest into your recipe.
Ooh, oh, that almost got me that time.
All right.
Then you would proceed to mix it up like the instructions say.
Now that's just one way we can measure in the kitchen.
But my favorite way to measure is when we are being creative.
Boys and girls, I love to create and I love to sew.
I made this apron.
And while making this apron, I had to measure a lot.
I had to measure how much fabric I needed and how big I needed to make it.
And to do that, I had to use these and this.
These are called measuring tapes.
(bell clinks) Now, they are very wiggly.
You see that because it helps us measure against somebody's body.
And we also have to measure the fabric.
So if you want to make your own apron or your own shirt or your own blanket, like my grandmother, you can do that too, by using these tools.
Boys and girls, I hope you learned something new today.
And I am so glad you decided to spend some time with me.
I want you to plan on coming back again, okay?
And when you do, bring a friend, because here in "Room 9," we always have room for everybody.
(upbeat playful music) - Hola muchachos.
Hello, boys and girls.
Today's lesson is I can say the names of family members in Spanish.
I have a family here.
I'm gonna teach you the names of family members in Spanish.
The word for family in Spanish is familia.
It sounds like English, doesn't it?
Familia, that's how you say family.
Now let's meet the family or the familia.
First we have the grandpa or abuelo.
Abuelo, that's how you say grandpa in Spanish.
Next we have grandma.
She's the one who does all that wonderful cooking.
Abuela, abuela, that's how you say grandma or grandmother.
And we have papa.
(bell clinks) Papa.
Papa means father or dad.
So when you wanna say father or dad, say papa, papa.
And we have mama.
(bell clinks) Mama is the word for mom or mother in Spanish.
Mama.
Some of us already call our mama, mom.
So just put another ah on it, so, mama, mama.
A sister in Spanish.
The word for sister is, hermana.
(bell clinks) Hermana, can you say, hermana?
And brother, hermano.
(bell clinks) Hermano.
Thank you for joining me and learning about familia.
(bell clinks) Adios.
(energetic upbeat music) - Great day everybody.
This is Candice with Khaos, and I wanna talk to you about my friend Kyra.
Kyra is a Khaos kid and she's absolutely amazing.
But sometimes Kyra says bad things to herself about her.
And you know, she has to learn that you have to say two positive things for every negative thing that you can say because it knocks it out.
And so I want you to know, just like with Kyra, you are absolutely amazing.
So every time you think of something negative, give yourself something positive.
You got this, air hugs and cyber kisses.
- Welcome back to our classroom, boys and girls.
Did you have a wonderful time?
Excellent, excellent.
Can you tell me about your favorite adventure?
(playful upbeat music) Mm, that sounded like it was fun.
I told you we would have some fun here.
All right, now it's time for my little lesson.
Are you ready for my lesson today?
Okay.
It's about knowing your full name.
Knowing your full name.
All right.
Can you tell me your full name?
Okay.
John.
Oh, John, that's just your first name, John.
Your full name is your first name, your middle name, and your last name.
For instance, one of my friend's name is Ashley May Johnson.
Ashley May Johnson.
Can you please tell me what's her first name?
Ashley?
Yes, it's Ashley.
Ashley is her first name.
Ashley May Johnson.
What's her middle name?
No, not Johnson, Johnson is her last name.
The middle name comes in the middle.
What was her middle name?
May.
Yes, May.
So Ashley May.
And we said her last name.
What was her last name?
Johnson.
Yes, Ashley May Johnson.
And you know what boys and girls, sometimes you have to write your initials.
You have to write your initials.
So if we take Ashley May Johnson, it's the first letter in each name.
So it would be Ashley, it would be A, May, M, Johnson, yes, J!
But it's that time for us to get outta "Room 9."
Let's spell our favorite word.
Nine, N-I-N-E.
Thank you for being in "Room 9."
Bye-bye!
