ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 1 Light Up The Night | Sleepover Storytime | Expressing Feelings | Circle Time with Khan Academy Kids
Hello, friends! Welcome to Circle Time. I’m Caroline from the Khan Academy Kids team, and today I’m here with my friend, Sophie. Let’s all say hello to Sophie!
Sophie is excited to be here for Circle Time and to catch up on all the show and tells this week. If you don’t want to miss any show and tells, you can hit the subscribe button under the video to keep up with all the fun!
Have you noticed that it’s getting darker earlier in the day? That’s because we’re in the fall, and the days are getting shorter. It’s also getting colder, which is normal for this time of year.
Our friends from Tinkergarten, Erica, Logan, and Maya, are here to teach us how to make lanterns. A lantern is something you can light up and take with you on a walk when it’s a little dark outside. Let’s say hello to them!
They explain that every fall, their family makes lanterns and goes on a special lantern walk. It’s a fun way to celebrate the early darkness of fall. They show us how to make a lantern using a simple jar, glue, water, and colorful squares of paper or leaves. Once decorated, let the lantern dry, put a tea light inside, and it’s ready for a walk!
Lanterns are also great for sleepovers. Do you know what a sleepover is? It’s when you spend the night at a friend’s or family member’s house. Some things you might pack for a sleepover include your pillow, a favorite stuffed animal, a flashlight, and a cozy blanket.
We read a story about Ollo, who spends the night at Peck’s house. Ollo tries to be a good guest but finds it hard to sleep because of the bright light, cold wind, and Peck talking too much. Eventually, Ollo tells Peck how he feels, and they make the room more comfortable. Ollo learns that it’s okay to speak up about his needs.
We also learned about the long “I” sound in words like “light,” “bright,” and “night.” The letters “IGH” can make the long “I” sound, and sometimes the letter “Y” can too, like in “cry.”
Our friends shared some amazing show and tells. Eliza and Elena drew pictures of owls, and Ara made a flower crown and robots. She also tested objects to see if they sink or float, just like we did in a previous Circle Time.
Thank you for joining us today! We would love to see your show and tells. You can share drawings, crafts, or anything fun you do after watching Circle Time. Goodbye from Caroline, Sophie, and the Khan Academy Kids team. See you next time!
Lantern Walk Adventure: After making your lantern, plan a special lantern walk with your family or friends. As you walk, observe the changes in nature during fall, like the color of the leaves or the chill in the air. Talk about how the lantern helps you see in the dark and why it’s important to have light when it’s dark outside.
Sound Detective: Become a sound detective and find words around your home or in books that have the long “I” sound. Write them down and see if you can spot the “IGH” or “Y” in those words. Try saying them out loud and notice how they sound similar to “light,” “bright,” and “night.”
Sleepover Story Sharing: Imagine you are having a sleepover like Ollo. Draw a picture of what you would pack for your sleepover. Share your drawing with a friend or family member and explain why you chose each item. Discuss how you would make your sleepover comfortable, just like Ollo did by speaking up about his needs.
