Hi there! Today, we have a special guest joining us in class. He is super excited to meet you all!
Our guest wants to know if you can think of some words that start with the letter “R.” Can you help?
Here are some words: rain, coat, rabbit, rose, and rainbow. Great job! Let’s say them again: rain, coat, rabbit, rose, rainbow. You are amazing!
Now, let’s learn how to write the letter “R.” Are you ready? Grab your pencil or crayon!
1. Start by making a standing line from the top to the bottom.
2. Lift your pencil or crayon, go back to the top, and draw a curve around to the middle of the standing line.
3. Without lifting your pencil or crayon, make a slanting line going down to the right-hand side. You’ve done it!
Want to try again? Sure! Just follow the steps: standing line, curve, and slanting line. You’re doing great!
Before our guest leaves, let’s sing a fun song together!
It is rare to find a friend so kind, rarely rude, always in a good mood. He stays inside on rainy days, loves the warmth of the sun’s rays. His favorite color is red, likes raspberry jam on his slice of bread. Always ready to give us time, loves to sing and speak in rhyme.
Wasn’t that fun? We love singing with you!
Thank you for a wonderful time! We will be back soon with another letter of the alphabet and lots of fun. Goodbye, friends!
R-Word Hunt: Go on a little adventure around your home or classroom and find objects that start with the letter “R.” Can you find a red ribbon, a round rock, or a rubber band? Make a list or draw pictures of the items you find. Share your discoveries with a friend or family member and see if they can think of more “R” words!
Rainbow Art: Create your own rainbow using crayons, markers, or paints. As you make your rainbow, think about the colors you are using. Can you name each color? Talk about what makes a rainbow special and where you might see one in the sky. Display your artwork proudly and explain to someone how rainbows are made from rain and sunshine.
Rhyme Time: Let’s play a rhyming game! Think of words that rhyme with “rain,” “coat,” and “rabbit.” For example, “rain” rhymes with “train,” “coat” rhymes with “boat,” and “rabbit” rhymes with “habit.” Can you come up with more rhyming words? Try making up a silly sentence or short story using your rhyming words and share it with the class.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript, removing any unnecessary details and maintaining the essence of the conversation:

I hope I don’t run late because of the rain.
Is there a race of some kind in town?
No, there is no race. I thought the rain would make me late for class. Silly me, I didn’t realize you were standing there.
That’s all right. Do you think I could join you in your class today? I don’t particularly enjoy the rain on a gray day.
Kids, are you ready for our special guest today? He is really excited to meet you!
Yes, hello kids! I am really happy to be here.
Let’s begin! Can you tell us some things that start with the letter “R”?
Rain, coat, rabbit, rose, rainbow.
Wow, now that is something! Could you repeat that?
Sure! Rain, coat, rabbit, rose, rainbow. What a great class this has been!
Thank you, I had a wonderful time too. Now shall we teach the kids how to write the letter “R”?
I am ready!
Yes! First, make a standing line from the top to the bottom.
That’s right! Now lift up your pencil or crayon, go back to the top, and draw a curve round to the middle of the standing line.
And without lifting your crayon or pencil, make a slanting line going down to the right-hand side. Perfect, you’ve got it!
Can I try it again?
Sure! First, make a standing line from the top to the bottom, go back to the top, draw a curve round to the middle of the standing line, and then make a slanting line going down to the right-hand side.
Like this?
Thank you! This was a refreshing class.
We were happy to have you here too! But before you leave, we would like to sing you a song.
Lovely, let’s all rejoice!
[Applause]
