awesome well let's warm it up first

sometimes in order for our bodies to

calm down we have to move them first

let's get our wiggles out and warm up

our brains for a day full of learning

and growing

first let's sit on the floor and get out

our boat come sing and dance with me

row row row your boat gently down the

stream merrily merrily merrily merrily

life is but a dream row row row your

boat gently down the stream if you see a

crocodile don't forget to scream

[Music]

wow you did a great job moving like an

animal

let's stand up and spin like a tornado

this is good for our brain to learn and

develop balance and spatial awareness

put your hands out in front of you and

spin as fast as you can while looking at

a finger

spin spin spin around spin like a

tornado

get your brain all dizzy

now it's time to freeze

all right let's go the other way

spin spin spin around it's been like a

tornado

get your brain all dizzy

now it's time to breathe

awesome job I love dancing let's keep

learning are you ready for our phonics

lesson in today's lesson you're going to

learn the sounds of B and D the letters

b and d often get confused in our brain

when we are reading or spelling here is

a fun story and visualization strategy

that incorporates different parts of

your brain to help you remember

let's start with b b says

what does your mouth do when you say

very good the lips touch and you burst

out air and say like in the words body

Becky baby and belly

we are going to use all of these words

in our story for the letter and sound of

B

when I see a line first or I hear the

sound I am going to pretend that is a

body

let's draw the body of my friend Becky

Becky has a baby in her belly

now let's finish drawing my friend Becky

very good now we are going to focus on

the letter d d says

what does your mouth do when you say d

for d

yes the tip of your tongue goes behind

your teeth and says like in diaper and

Danny

for the letter D we are going to draw

that diaper first and how do we draw

that diaper we are actually going to

draw a magic C first so we're going to

draw a magic C to a d

and the line here represents Danny here

is the diaper on Danny

awesome job

so now when I see this crazy letter in

my reading or am asked to spell it I can

tell my brain to pause and check for the

body or the diaper

let's practice here are a bunch of B's

and D's can you find the ones with the

body first

nice job

wow that was a great brain workout good

job growing your brain today with

letters b and d

if you practice your sounds every day

you're going to be able to start

blending those sounds into words and you

should be able to read in no time

welcome to Story Time with Miss Michaela

today's story we're following a spunky

boy and his pup baklava they are going

to the farm in The Adventures of

baklavon Huck

once upon a time there was a Huxley

being he had the best dog anyone had

ever seen

one Sunny May baklavon Huck were having

a grand old day

Huck was playing pretend dressing up as

a King when he heard the phone ring

right when he saw the picture of who it

was he got oh so excited grandma Sue was

calling and they were just invited

to a very special place because there

are horses that Huck loves writing can

you guess where they're going based on

what I'm describing

it's where cows go move and chickens

walk around like they don't know what to

do horses Frolic and prance and kids

wait in the river doing their happy

dance

we are going to the

farm with the Big Red Barn there will be

animals to see and tractors to ride and

we get to spend the whole day outside

what is your favorite part of the farm

wow I love that part too

when Huck arrived at Grandma Sue's Huck

knew exactly what he wanted to do Huck

called for baklavon asked him to come

play ball with him in the field of

course that was his favorite game so he

obeyed and healed

just as they started to play they heard

a weird noise far away

whoa look up there look and see there is

a cat stuck in that 80-foot tree what do

we do who do we call maybe the fire

department will come through before the

cat will fall

Huck ran to his grandma and asked her to

call them quick and she did only to be

told no ma'am that is not something we

do but I know what will do the trick he

said call your local arborist in town

they should be able to help that poor

little kitten come down

an arborist is someone who works on

trees they would have the appropriate

equipment to help so let's go see

Grandma Huck and baklava found one that

was willing to come out when he arrived

he climbed up with ease and no doubt

he surely got that crazy cat she was

safe and sound but very tired at that

the end
