ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Still Mine | A moving story about loss & how you carry them in your heart forever
Hello, friends! How are you feeling today? Is the sun shining bright, or is it a rainy day? Maybe it’s a little cloudy? Here, it’s a bit gloomy, but we’re keeping things cozy and warm inside. I hope you’re feeling nice and comfy too!
Today, we’re going to read a lovely book called “Still Mine” by Jane Pilmer. Are you ready? Let’s dive into the story!
In the morning, when we wake up, we are together. We sing a happy song and blow kisses to the sun. It’s a bright and cheerful start to the day!
During playtime, we hold hands and swing high. We let go and pretend to fly like birds in the sky. Our feet land softly on the sand. It’s so much fun!
In the afternoon, when the rain starts to fall, we dance and splash in the puddles. We play until the clouds float away. It’s a splashy, happy time!
At night, we put on our pajamas and share warm hot chocolate. We say, “Today was perfect with you. I hope tomorrow is just as wonderful.”
But then, you tiptoe away and ride on the breeze. You’re gone, and I didn’t get to say goodbye. I wonder what I’ll do without you. Who will sing with me? Who will share treats and give cheeky kisses?
When the sun rises again, I go to the window. The sunshine feels like a warm hug from the sky. I sing softly, feeling the warmth like your cheek on mine.
You are still mine, always mine, forever mine.
Did you enjoy the story? I loved it so much! If you want to read it again, you can find your own copy. Thank you for joining us today. Take care, and we’ll see you again soon. Bye-bye!
Sunshine and Shadows: Let’s explore how the sun can make shadows! On a sunny day, go outside with a friend or family member. Take turns standing in the sunlight and notice the shadow you create. Try making different shapes with your hands or body and see how the shadow changes. Can you make your shadow look like a bird or a tree? Talk about how the sun helps us see shadows and how they change when we move.
Puddle Jumping Art: Remember how much fun it was to splash in puddles during the rainy afternoon in the story? Let’s make some puddle art! On a rainy day, put on your rain boots and go outside with a grown-up. Find a small puddle and gently drop a few drops of food coloring into it. Use a stick to swirl the colors around and create a beautiful puddle painting. Watch how the colors mix and change, just like the fun of dancing in the rain!
Goodbye and Hello: In the story, saying goodbye was a little sad, but the sun always came back to say hello. Let’s think about someone special you might miss when they’re not around. Draw a picture of them and write a little note about what you love doing together. The next time you see them, you can share your drawing and note. This way, you can always feel connected, just like the sunshine in the story.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Welcome back to the Story Time Family! How are you today? How’s the weather? Is it sunny, rainy, or maybe cloudy? It’s pretty gloomy here, but we’re trying to keep things nice and warm inside. Hope you’re doing the same!
Today, we have a book called “Still Mine” by Jane Pilmer. Let’s have a look, shall we?
“Still Mine”
You are mine in the morning when we rise and shine and sing our song, tossing kisses to the sun. You are mine at playtime when we swing hand in hand, letting go and flying like birds through the air before our feet hit the sand. You are mine in the afternoon when the sky starts to rain, and we dance and splash until the clouds float away. You are mine at pajama time when we share hot chocolate and say, “Today with you was perfect. I want tomorrow to be just the same.”
But then you tiptoe by me and hop a ride on the breeze. Now you are gone, and I can’t come along. I didn’t even get to say goodbye. What will I do if I don’t have you? Who will sing your sunrise song? Who will make your special treat? Who will nuzzle noses? Who will smooch cheeks? Can you catch my kisses if I throw them way up high?
Are you still mine when the sun comes up? Today, I go to the window by myself. Sunshine is a little love from the sky. I sing low in the morning light. It feels soft and warm like your face on my cheek.
Still mine, you are still mine, still always mine.
