ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 1 Kids Calendar | Create A Back To School Workspace | Count to 7 | Circle Time With Khan Academy Kids
Hello, friends! Today, we’re joining Caroline and her friend Sophie from the Khan Academy Kids Team for a fun Circle Time. How are you feeling today? Some of us might be full of energy, while others might feel a bit sleepy or bored. But don’t worry, we’ve got something exciting planned for everyone!
We’re starting with a special book called “Seven Days a Week” by Cynthia Platt. In the story, Kodi and Sandy talk about the days of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Kodi finds it funny that there are things he does only once a week and things he does every day. Sandy only sees her grandma once a week, and Kodi goes to soccer practice three times a week. But there are also things they do every day, like taking a bath and reading bedtime stories.
Think about what you do every day. Maybe you brush your teeth, have lunch, or say thank you. These daily habits are important! Sandy and Kodi love hanging out every day, too. Do you have a special place at home where you can read and count? Some people call it a workspace.
Our friend, teacher Aimee, is here to show us how to make a workspace. A workspace is a special place where you have everything you need to learn. It’s like your bed for sleeping or the playground for playing. In your workspace, you focus on learning!
First, gather materials with the help of an adult. You might need pencils, crayons, paper, a notebook, your favorite book, a tablet for learning apps, and maybe a whiteboard. You can also have a schedule to know what you’re doing each day.
Once you have your materials, find a basket or box to keep them organized. This way, you can easily move your workspace to a table, desk, or even the floor. Now, you’re ready to learn!
Let’s have some fun with counting! Peck loves to count, and today we’re counting balloons up to seven. Can you help Peck count? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven! Great job! You can also try tracing the number seven on paper or in the air.
We’ve received amazing drawings from our friends! Elise, Vata, Jack, Emona, Parth, Petra, Chiori, and Vithy have shared their wonderful artwork of our favorite characters like Kodi, Sandy, Reya, Peck, and Ollo. We love seeing your creativity!
We’d love to see your workspace creations too! You can draw it, build it with boxes, or use things you find around the house. Show us how you made your special place for counting and reading.
It’s time to say goodbye, but we had so much fun reading, playing, and chatting with you today. We’ll see you next time. Goodbye from Caroline, Sophie, and the Khan Academy Kids Team!
Create a Weekly Schedule: With the help of an adult, make a colorful weekly schedule using paper and crayons. Write down or draw pictures of activities you do each day, like going to school, playing, or visiting family. Hang it in your workspace and check it each day to see what’s planned. This will help you understand the concept of weekly routines and how they fit into your daily life.
Daily Routine Detective: Become a detective and observe your daily habits. Each day, write down or draw one thing you do every day, like brushing your teeth or reading a bedtime story. At the end of the week, share your findings with a family member or friend and discuss why these daily activities are important.
Workspace Design Challenge: Use building blocks, boxes, or any materials you have at home to create a mini model of your ideal workspace. Think about what items you need for learning and where they should go. Once you’ve built your model, explain to someone why you chose each item and how it helps you learn better.
