[00:00:15.250]Hi, my name is Jenny, and I wanted to share
[00:00:18.070]one of my favorite children's books by Donald Crews.
[00:00:22.250]It's called "Ten Black Dots."
[00:00:24.850]My favorite thing about this book
[00:00:26.740]is that it's extremely interactive.
[00:00:29.710]Invite your child to count the black dots.
[00:00:34.200]And then, after you read the book, encourage them to go find
[00:00:39.970]anything that could be a dot,
[00:00:42.260]bottle caps or paper you could cut into round circles.
[00:00:46.540]And you could do a really great activity
[00:00:48.740]of asking them to make something,
[00:00:52.430]and use the dots in the picture.
[00:00:55.270]So I hope you like it, and have a beautiful day.

[00:01:02.997]"Ten Black Dots" by Donald Crews.
[00:01:18.757]"What can you do with 10 black dots?
[00:01:25.217]"One dot can make a sun
[00:01:28.897]"or a moon when the day is done.
[00:01:36.107]"Two dots can make the eyes of a fox
[00:01:41.047]"or the eyes of keys
[00:01:43.940]that open locks."
[00:01:46.410]There's two black dots.
[00:01:48.780]One, two.
[00:01:54.887]"Three dots can make a snowman's face
[00:02:00.457]"or beads for stringing on a lace."
[00:02:08.610]Four is next.
[00:02:10.497]"Four dots can make seeds from which flowers grow
[00:02:15.567]"or the knobs on a radio.
[00:02:21.627]"Five dots can make buttons on a coat."
[00:02:25.280]Ready, let's count them.
[00:02:27.450]One,
[00:02:29.030]two,
[00:02:30.286]three,
[00:02:31.820]four,
[00:02:33.530]five.
[00:02:35.782]"Or the portholes
[00:02:38.760]of a boat.
[00:02:45.727]"Six dots can make marbles that you hold,
[00:02:50.727]"half are new,
[00:02:52.710]the rest are old."
[00:02:56.340]One, two, three,
[00:03:01.030]four, five, six.
[00:03:07.280]Ooh, look at the seven dots.
[00:03:09.817]"Seven dots can make the spots on a snake
[00:03:15.227]"or stones turned up by the garden rake."
[00:03:22.011]That's a lot of black dots.
[00:03:24.700]This is my favorite page.
[00:03:28.037]"Eight dots can make the wheels of a train
[00:03:32.917]"carrying freight through sun and rain."
[00:03:38.270]Look at those wheels on the train.
[00:03:39.700]Let's count them.
[00:03:41.660]One,
[00:03:42.960]two,
[00:03:44.640]three,
[00:03:46.290]four,
[00:03:49.270]five,
[00:03:50.490]six,
[00:03:52.470]seven,
[00:03:53.310]eight.
[00:03:55.060]I wonder where that train is going.
[00:04:04.637]"Nine dots can make toy soldiers standing in rank."
[00:04:11.740]Look at all those toy soldiers standing straight.
[00:04:21.129](child mumbling)
[00:04:22.990]Our pennies, "or pennies
[00:04:26.457]"in your piggy bank."
[00:04:29.130]Look at that big piggy bank full of pennies!
[00:04:33.230]Wow, there are so many pennies!
[00:04:42.277]"10 dots
[00:04:44.227]"make, can make balloons stuck in a tree."
[00:04:51.350]Guess what we get to do next.
[00:04:53.210]We get to,
[00:04:55.903]we get to shake them free.
[00:04:59.537]"Shake the branch and set them free."
[00:05:05.540]So many dots.
[00:05:08.947]"Count them.
[00:05:10.057]"Are there really 10?
[00:05:12.197]"Now we can begin again, counting dots from one to 10."
[00:05:18.280]Here we go.
[00:05:19.113]Ready?
[00:05:20.527]"One,
[00:05:22.027]"two,
[00:05:23.557]"three,
[00:05:25.097]"four,
[00:05:26.807]"five" dots.
[00:05:32.207]"Six."
[00:05:34.635]Oh, I have to go out.
[00:05:37.417]"Seven, eight,
[00:05:39.757]"nine,
[00:05:41.127]"and 10"
[00:05:43.380]dots.
[00:05:46.520]Here's your challenge.
[00:05:47.980]Ready?
[00:05:50.470]What can you make with 10 dots?
[00:05:56.014]Ruby, can you tell them how we got our dots?
[00:06:00.126]We,
[00:06:03.060]got some
[00:06:05.540]construction paper,
[00:06:07.960]and we put the papers in a stack and cut them out.
[00:06:14.190]Five, six, seven, eight, nine,
[00:06:16.800]10, 11, 12,
[00:06:18.637]13, 14, 15,
[00:06:20.181]16, 17,
[00:06:21.472]18, 19.
[00:06:28.930]Two.
[00:06:30.170]Two big ones.
[00:06:33.167][Ruby] How about you try small ones?
[00:06:35.106]I don't have any small ones.
[00:06:40.710]Are they smaller or bigger?
[00:06:42.820]Smaller.
[00:06:44.452]One, two,
[00:06:46.608]and three.
[00:06:47.553]Hmm, now you got three today.
[00:07:04.647]How many dots fit in our snake?
[00:07:06.870]One, two, three, four,
[00:07:09.250]five, six, seven, eight, nine.
[00:07:12.033]Oh, nine!
[00:07:13.800]How could we fit 10?
[00:07:14.880]What would we have to do to fit 10, to make it 10?
[00:07:18.530]Oh, maybe we could one there.
[00:07:20.740]We could put one here.
[00:07:22.760]So, you needed to add just one more
[00:07:25.060]to make it be 10?
[00:07:26.450]Mm-hmm.
[00:07:27.740]Okay, count them, how many in all?
[00:07:29.210]One, two, three, four, five,
[00:07:32.414]six, seven, eight, nine, 10!
[00:07:35.233]10!
