ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 1 LIVE Read-Aloud | Should I Share My Ice Cream & The Colorful Hairball
Hi there! I’m Ryan, and I’m Craig. We’re so happy you’re here for Story Time! If you like our stories, you can visit our website, RyanAndCraig.com, to watch more read-alouds or send us a message.
We want to say a big hello to the students in the STEM program at Henderson University School in Boca Raton, Florida. They sent us a cool picture and today’s book, “Should I Share My Ice Cream?” by Mo Willems. Let’s dive into the story!
Ice cream is so yummy, especially on a hot day! Do you know the fun song that goes, “I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream”? It’s just a silly song about how much we love ice cream!
In the story, someone wonders if they should share their ice cream. Sharing can be tricky because a scoop might not be enough for two people. But sharing can also make someone happy!
Our friend in the story decides to share the ice cream with Piggy. Sharing is a nice thing to do, and it can make you feel good inside. When you share, you show that you care about your friends!
We had so much fun reading the book! Thanks to Mrs. Rousseau’s first-grade class in Boca Raton, Florida, for sending it to us.
Yesterday, we read a book called “My Lucky Day.” We asked how you could trick someone into doing something nice for you. We got some funny answers!
Samantha shared a conversation with her mom about candy. She used a clever trick called “reverse psychology” to get some candy. Great job, Samantha!
Ellie, who is seven, shared a story about getting her dad to give her a double high five. She cleverly grabbed his phone when he put it down. Nice work, Ellie!
Based on the book “Should I Share My Ice Cream?” we have a fun question for you: What are some things you do to make the people in your life happier?
We’d love to hear your answers! You can email us or send a message through our website.
Don’t forget to tune in later to hear the new song Craig made for Story Time! We’ll be posting this on YouTube, so you can watch it again. Thanks for joining us, and we can’t wait to see you tomorrow at 10:00 AM Pacific!
Ice Cream Sharing Experiment: At home, ask a family member or friend to help you with a fun ice cream sharing experiment. Get a scoop of your favorite ice cream and try to divide it equally between you and your helper. How does it feel to share your ice cream? Does it make you happy to see someone else enjoy it too? Talk about how sharing can make both people feel good.
Draw and Share: Draw a picture of your favorite ice cream flavor. Once you’re done, share your drawing with a friend or family member and tell them why it’s your favorite. Ask them about their favorite ice cream and why they like it. This activity helps you practice sharing your thoughts and listening to others.
Sharing Stories: Think about a time when someone shared something with you. How did it make you feel? Now, think of a time when you shared something with someone else. How did they react? Share these stories with your class or family and discuss why sharing is important in making others happy.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

Hey, I’m Ryan, and I’m Craig. Welcome to Story Time! Remember, if you like what you see, you’re already doing it—you’re tuned in live! You can visit our website, RyanAndCraig.com, where you can watch all of our read-alouds or send us a message.
I have something to say, Craig. Oh, please share! I’d like to give a big shout-out to the students in the STEM program at Henderson University School in Boca Raton, Florida. Check out the picture they sent; that’s so cool! Thank you, guys! They also sent us today’s book, “Should I Share My Ice Cream?” by Mo Willems. Let’s get started!
Ice cream is perfect for a hot day! Oh, ice cream! Please, ice cream! Here you go! This reminds me of the song, “I Scream, You Scream.” How does it go?
I think it goes, “I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!”
Exactly! It’s just a fun song about screaming. Speaking of ice cream, should I share mine?
No, I don’t think so. A scoop is not enough for two people. Plus, we’d have to share the same cone, which is a bit tricky.
Yeah, I prefer cookies and cream.
No thanks!
What?
I just don’t like it.
Okay, I’ll eat the ice cream then.
Great! Piggy will like this flavor. I will share my ice cream!
It’s not easy to share a cone, though.
Indecisiveness can be a real challenge. You should act decisively!
Right! What Piggy doesn’t know won’t hurt him.
Where is Piggy?
Out of sight, out of mind!
Alright, eat your ice cream!
Oh, I must find her!
This is turning into quite the adventure!
Would you like some ice cream?
That’s a good idea!
She will say thank you, and that will cheer me up!
I will share my ice cream!
Thank you!
So, in that part of the story, remember, “I scream, you scream”?
Yes!
Okay, now it’s my turn!
Here comes Piggy! You look sad. Would you like some of my ice cream?
That would cheer me up!
Best friends!
As the saying goes, the best-laid plans of mice and elephants!
Thanks again to Mrs. Rousseau’s first-grade class in Boca Raton, Florida, for sending us today’s book. We had such a blast reading it!
Now, we got some answers from yesterday’s question of the day. Craig, what was that question?
Yesterday, we read a book called “My Lucky Day,” where a clever pig tricks a fox into doing nice things for him. We asked how you could trick someone into doing something nice for you.
We received some amazing responses!
Here’s one from Samantha, who wrote out a conversation between herself and her mom. I’ll play Samantha, and Craig will be her mom.
Mom: “You don’t want any candy?”
Samantha: “No, I don’t want any.”
Mom: “Are you sure?”
Samantha: “I don’t think so.”
Mom: “Last chance!”
Samantha: “Do I?”
Mom: “Maybe you don’t want any.”
Samantha: “Right, I don’t.”
Mom: “But do you?”
Samantha: “Well, since you don’t want any, I’ll take yours. Thanks, Mom!”
Mom: “What just happened?”
Samantha: “Is it obvious? Your reverse psychology!”
Great job, Samantha!
Next, we have a response from Ellie, who is seven years old. It’s a conversation between Ellie and her dad.
Ellie: “Give me a double high five!”
Dad: “Okay!” (sets phone down)
Ellie: (grabs the phone and runs) “Mission accomplished!”
Wow, that’s clever!
Now, we need a question for tomorrow. Based on the book we read today, “Should I Share My Ice Cream?” I think a fun question would be: What are some things you do to make the people in your life happier?
That’s a great question!
Make sure to email us your responses or send us a message through our website.
And remember to tune in later to hear the new song Craig created for Story Time!
We’ll be reposting this on YouTube, so you can watch it again.
Thanks for joining us, and we look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow at 10:00 AM Pacific!
