Hello, friends! I’m Miss Lauren, and I’m so happy to see you today. We have a week full of exciting things like videos, games, stories, dancing, and even a special visitor!
Last time, we talked about things that are the same and different. Today, let’s talk about feelings like happy, sad, calm, or excited. Did you know moving your body can make you feel better and even happier?
Let’s meet Juan. He loves playing video games. But what happens when the power goes out?
Juan: “Hey, do your thumbs ever have all the fun?”
Poppy: “When I was a kid, we played outside a lot!”
Juan: “But I was about to win a trophy in my game!”
Poppy: “I played so much soccer that I wore out my shoes.”
Juan: “Wow, you really were your own video games!”
Poppy: “Yes! Let’s move our bodies!”
Exercise helps us stay strong and healthy. It also helps our brains! Let’s hear from Armand.
Armand: “Exercise makes you smarter! It helps with memory and learning!”
Miss Lauren: “I love dancing! Here’s Mr. Dan with a fun song about exercise.”
Mr. Dan: “Can you find the beat in ‘Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes’?”
[Music and clapping]
Miss Lauren: “Exercise is more fun with friends. Let’s welcome Miss Mel!”
Miss Mel: “Hello, class! I’m excited to teach with you today!”
Miss Lauren: “Let’s learn about coaching with Armand.”
Armand: “Hello, Coach Darius! What sport do you coach?”
Coach Darius: “I coach baseball. I love watching kids grow and improve!”
Miss Lauren: “Would you like to be a coach? Let’s move our bodies now!”
[Music and movement activity]
Miss Lauren: “There’s a special event called the Highland Games in Scotland. Let’s learn about it!”
[Discussion about Scotland and castles]
Miss Lauren: “Now, let’s learn about force and motion with Professor Hester and her nephew Lester.”
Professor Hester: “Force means a push or pull. Let’s see how it works!”
[Demonstration of force and motion]
Miss Lauren: “What a fun day! Remember, exercise helps our bodies, minds, and moods. We have activities, puzzles, and games for you to enjoy. Try to move your body today, and we’ll see you tomorrow!”
Goodbye for now!
Feelings and Movement Dance Party: Let’s have a dance party! Play some fun music and encourage the children to dance. Ask them to express different feelings through their movements. For example, how would they dance if they were happy, sad, or excited? After dancing, discuss how moving their bodies made them feel. Did it change their mood?
Outdoor Adventure Walk: Take the children on a short walk outside. Ask them to observe their surroundings and notice how moving their bodies makes them feel. Encourage them to find things that are the same and different, like trees, flowers, or animals. After the walk, have a discussion about how being active outdoors can be fun and how it helps us feel better.
Force and Motion Experiment: Provide the children with small balls and ramps (these can be made from cardboard). Let them experiment by rolling the balls down the ramps. Ask them to observe what happens when they push the ball gently versus with more force. Discuss how the force they use affects the motion of the ball. Encourage them to think about other examples of force and motion they see in everyday life.

Hi everyone! Welcome to the ABC Mouse classroom. I’m Miss Lauren, and I’m excited to see you on this beautiful Monday! We have a week ahead filled with new videos, games, fast facts, story time, dancing, and more. Plus, we have a special visitor today!
Last week, we talked about things that are alike and different. This week, we’ll discuss how our feelings—like happy, sad, calm, or excited—can affect our mood. Moving your body can make you feel good and even happier!
Let’s meet a kid named Juan who loves video games. But what happens when the power goes out at his house?
Juan: “Hey, does the rest of your body ever get jealous of your thumbs? They’re having all the fun!”
Poppy: “When I was a kid, we were our own video games. We played outside a lot!”
Juan: “But I was about to win a trophy in my game!”
Poppy: “When I was your age, I played so much soccer that I wore the tread off my shoes.”
Juan: “Wow, you really were your own video games!”
Poppy: “Yeah, we had a great time. Why not play basketball?”
Juan: “I guess I’d rather be a video game than play one.”
Poppy: “That’s the spirit! Let’s move our bodies!”
Exercise is a great way to stay strong and healthy. It can also help your brain! Let’s check in with Armand to learn more.
Armand: “Did you know that exercise makes you smarter? It helps with memory and learning!”
Miss Lauren: “One of my favorite ways to exercise is dancing! Here’s Mr. Dan with a fun song about exercise.”
Mr. Dan: “Can you think of things in your daily life that have a steady beat? Let’s find the steady beat of ‘Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes!’”
[Music and clapping]
