considered to be the ice cream capital
of the whole world that'll be fun to
learn about we have our science city for
strange activity what are we gonna make
mr. elephant ice one might eat some ice
cream today it's going to be so fun and
will always end with a charade and I
have a funny ice-cream joke today let's
get started my color today would be the
color of vanilla ice cream that we're
gonna date what
white what if it was chocolate what
color would it be Wow shape today it's a
special shape
we have been doing two-dimensional
shapes our shape today is a
three-dimensional shape or 3d if you've
got a big scoop of mint ice cream on top
of your cone what shape is this it's a
three-dimensional shape it's not a
circle because the circle is flat and
two-dimensional what a speaker our shape
today is a sphere like a scoop of ice
cream our sphere our number today what
if I had one scoop but I wanted to add
one more one plus one equals you can
count it on your fingers one two one
plus one equals two and our letter today
starts the word ice cream and has two
sounds cuz it's a vowel
it's letter capital I and lowercase I
and guess what today sight word is also
a letter I it's a word that we use in
sentences all of the time I have my
sentence right here will you help me
read it I like did you eat ice cream
thumbs up if you like to eat ice cream
and that sentence had some of our other
side words that we've already done it
had like and - I like - for our letter i
today as i said i is one of the vowels
mr. elephant let's say all the vowels
ready a e i o u and they all have short
sounds and long sounds we'll say the
long sounds first and then the short
sounds
a says a and yeah II says E and F I said
and yeah
o says o you said you and oh those are
our five vowels or letter today is I
when we put the I for ice cream it's a
long I sound let's move on to our
special story today Pete the cat Pete
big lunch by James Dean what do you
think it's gonna be making that doesn't
like a giant didn't seem ready you want
to eat it once see all his ingredients
and then you can decide be thinking
would you eat Pete sandwich here comes
Pete it's lunchtime
Pete is ready to eat what should eat a
sandwich would be nice yes Pete wants a
sandwich Pete opens the fridge he takes
out a loaf of bread
he finds a yummy fish he adds tomato and
mayo Pete looks at his sandwich it is
too small something is missing he knows
what it means his sandwich needs an
apple Pete love Apple his sandwich needs
crackers crackers are crunchy Pete loves
crunchy crackers Pete looks for the
sandwich again it is still too small
Pete is very hungry
Pete at the pickle PGX cheese Pete as an
egg two hot dogs a banana and a can of
beans something is missing P add a ice
cream he takes three huge scoops Pete
sandwich who's too big for Pete to eat
Pete wonders what to do
Pete thinks then thinks I've got it Pete
says he calls all of his friends he asks
to come over everyone goes to Pete's
house they are all very hungry
Pete shows them a big lunch
are you hungry as Pete Pete sandwich
it's big enough for everyone
digging in says Pete Pete sandwiches
good
Pete sandwich is very good Pete sandwich
is all gone Pete's friends are full they
like Pete's big lunch
thank you for lunch Pete's friends say
thanks for sharing
you're welcome Pete says sharing is cool
see and I have a special story graphic
organizer it looks like a big ice cream
cone our title was Pete's big lunch okay
for our graphic organizer today we're
gonna be looking at my ourselves this
story made me feel about the book the
story reminded me of and about the world
the story made me think so let's start
with ourselves this story made me feel
how to make you feel st. Pete in a
sandwich yeah made me feel hungry too
okay so look this story reminded me of
another book what story book could it
remind you of yeah if you give a mouse a
cookie because he's always cooking
things and sharing to write and for the
world this story made me think what's
the bigger picture what was Pete doing
with his first with his friends he was
eating and he didn't just eat the whole
sandwich himself what did he do that's
right so it made me think of how
important it is to
share with our thumbs up if you like to
share with your friends - I think Pete
sandwich was so big that it was a good
idea to share with hands friends for our
brain break today our mouthing motion
brain break let's stand up we're gonna
do four prompts today okay ready
squat jump twirl bend squat jump twirl
bend good work mr. elephant I hope you
have fun doing those little brain breaks
and well for our math today I have a
chart we are doing a graphing exercise
what ice cream flavor do you favor paper
rhymes with flavor flavor favor
so I have a chart here how many friends
liked vanilla one two three how many
like chocolate one two three four five
six how many likes strawberry one and
how many like the other and that could
be cookies and cream mint chocolate chip
how many like other one two three four
five six seven eight nine so here's my
question what flavor did the friends
like the most on the graph
what flavor had the most votes well
other one had the most votes with nine
which flavor had the least votes
strawberry had the least votes other had
the most strawberry had the least thumbs
up if you would rather
have chocolate thumbs up if you'd rather
have strawberry thumbs up if you know
that vanilla thumbs up if you rather
have other my favorite flavor is cookies
and cream so that would be under I like
all of them
you like all of them we're writing today
if you want to pause the video and get
out your piece of paper we're gonna be
doing our Foursquare exercise about ice
cream
our topic in the middle says I like ice
cream so there's our topic sentence
we're gonna have three pictures or you
can write some words as well and then
our summary our concluding sentence I
like ice cream what's one flavor that
we've been talking about that maybe you
like what's one flavor that you like in
cream oh it's maybe gonna drop cookie so
we could say you know what I like about
cookies and cream cookies and cream is
crunchy because it has bytes of cookies
in it that would be another detail you
could put would be that cookies and
cream had big pieces and little pieces
of cookie another one we talked about
that had the least amount of votes was
strawberry I'm not that great at drawing
a strawberry strawberry we could say
that I think pink strawberry ice cream
look pretty cuz we like how it's pink so
that could be something you'd say I
think pink strawberry ice cream looks
pretty what would be another one maybe
chocolate would you just do a little
chocolate bar
chocolate and my favorite flavor and our
summary sentence could be something like
ice cream tastes right good would be one
word sometimes when we're writing we
want to think of a synonym we want to
expand our vocabulary what would be
another word for good ice cream tastes
delicious right
delicious would be a really good word
ice cream that I'm gonna put an
exclamation point so this would be our
our paragraph about ice cream I like ice
cream cookies and cream is crunchy I
think pink strawberry ice cream looks
pretty chocolate is my favorite flavor
of them all our summary would be ice
cream tastes delicious thumbs up if you
think ice cream tastes delicious
me too for our social studies today we
are talking about its fate that starts
with the letter i' i are you spell it
i oh w a our state today is i oh ah I
bought it in the mid west right here
okay what we're learning about I am what
today is there's a special turn Iowa
called Lamar's Iowa they are nicknamed
the ice cream capital of the world
they're home to the Blue Bunny ice cream
parlor and museum and all around the
city there's giant statues over 50 of
them that are painted there ice cream
cones that are painted sculptures
thumbs-up if you'd like to go there me
too I have a couple that I wanted to
show you that we're my favorite you can
look them up on YouTube
is Lamar's LEM ARS Iowa mr. elephants
favorite ice cream cone in lamar's Iowa
was decorated with what a car and tire
and tools and my favorite look like you
were going to the movie theater they had
a popcorn bucket and a film reel looks
pretty fun I like to go to Lamar's Iowa
someday - there's even popcorn popcorn
that's right it's a popcorn bucket with
popcorn and a film reel I think I'd like
to go to the ice cream capital of the
world - right
yeah we're getting ready for our science
activity today we're gonna be making ice
cream all right time to go over to our
science table hi friends and welcome
back to our science activity today we're
going to be making my cousin told us
about that that's right his cousin with
making ice cream and we thought that
would be a great idea and a great topic
for us here on pre-k with Miss K first
we're going to talk about our steps
first we have our recipe and ingredients
next we'll mix them together then we
have to shake shake shake it all up and
finally we'll get to either are you
ready to get started let's read our
recipe first our recipe we need 1 cup of
milk 2 and this is tablespoons of sugar
1 over 2 is a fraction called 1/2 1/2 a
teaspoon of vanilla 3 cups of ice and
1/3 cup of salt do you know why we need
the ice and the salt we need that
because the salt lowers the freezing
temperature and that's gonna go around
our mixture of milk sugar and vanilla
and it's gonna get so cold as we shake
it that it will turn into ice cream here
we go we're gonna add our
cup of milk I'm gonna pour in our cup of
milk hey dad we need our two tablespoons
of sugar 1 2 tablespoons of sugar then
we add 1/2 a teaspoon of vanilla we have
our half a teaspoon of vanilla we're
gonna seal this up really good so that
it does not leak as we shake it set that
aside when this big bag that's going to
go around that we need our 3 cups of ice
[Music]
3 cups of ice and again we need the salt
wide to lower the temperature go where's
the freezing temperature so that the
mixture will get extra cold so it turns
into ice cream then we stick this inside
and in the direction that we had from
his cousin they said to wrap it around
with a towel so that your hands don't
get too cold and we start to after
you've been shaking for five to ten
minutes you can unroll the towel and
feel the bad our bag feels pretty hard I
think we are ready to open the gallon
that one kind of ice cube in itself and
then we use our scoop and what shapes in
our scoop look like today yeah one us I
would look Sierra okay we say cheers
guess who came to eat some ice cream
that's our doggies UHN
alright let's go back for our charade
and our joke
welcome back for a really fun science
activity so nothing you want to try
making ice cream at home also guess who
else wanted some ice cream today the car
joke today is why does an ice-cream cone
always carry an umbrella in case there's
a chance for saw what break off all
right everybody come here mr. Oliphant
thanks for joining us today
bye
