(we see Joji holding a present, with Ogot beside him)

Joji: Oh, hey there! How are you? Look what I just bought! It's a new book, and I'm so excited to read it! Hey, Ogot, look what I-

Ogot: Aaagh, not again! I give up!

Joji: Oh, no, Ogot, what's wrong?

Ogot: It's too hard to make these shapes!

(his paper is a set of slightly erased polygons)

Joji: Well, you do have a lot of shapes there, and...they look good, but I think you need to fix a bit of the-

Ogot: Exactly! I keep on repeating, and I keep on making mistakes!

Joji: It's okay, Ogot. I know it can be hard in the beginning, but with a little practice and patience, I'm sure you could do it.

Ogot: Practice and patience. What is patience?

(the word 'patience' pops up in blue)

Joji: Well, patience means that you do not easily get angry or give up when doing a difficult task.

Ogot: Oh, I see. I need to have patience!

Joji: Practice and patience, and maybe a little music might help.

Ogot: Look! My drawing is looking better!

Joji: See? I told you! Practice and patience.

Ogot: And a little music.

Joji: (chuckles) Okay, I'll leave you now, while you do your-

Ogot: Where are you going?

Joji: Well...I was going to read my new book.

Ogot: Can you sing with me instead?

Joji: Sure! But, aren't you going to draw?

Ogot: You said that a little music helps, so, let's sing together while I draw.

Joji: Okay, let's go!

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: Let's count the shapes!

(we see nine squares, three circles, one rectangle, and one triangle)

Joji: I will show you pictures, then you have to tell me how many shapes you see. Let's start. Look closely. How many squares do you see? (pause) There are nine squares. One, two three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.

(we see twelve circles, two rectangles, two triangles, one square, and one star)

Joji: How about here? How many circles can you find? (pause) I don't think that's the answer! Try again. (pause) There are twelve circles. One, two three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. Twelve circles.

(we see seven triangles, two rectangles, and two squares)

Joji: Now, let's look for triangles. How many triangles can you find? (pause) There are seven triangles. One, two three, four, five, six, seven. Great job!

(we see ten rectangles, two circles, one triangle, and one star)

Joji: This is the last one! How many rectangles can you see here? (pause) There are ten rectangles. One, two three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. We can find different shapes everywhere! Try looking for squares, circles, triangles, and rectangles around you.

(we see Cathy sitting on the right)

Cathy: Hello, Joji!

Joji: Hi, Cathy.

Cathy: What is Ogot doing?

(Ogot is seen drawing his shapes)

Joji: Oh, Ogot is painting shapes.

Cathy: That reminds me of the painting that we saw yesterday.

Joji: That's right! I remember!

(we see Joji and Cathy staring at the bahay kubo in the eponymous song)

Joji: Cathy and I went to the museum. We were wandering around.

(the word 'wandering' pops up in blue)

Cathy: Wandering? What does that mean?

Joji: Oh, 'wandering' is when you move from one place to another, without a plan.

Cathy: I remember! We were wandering around the museum, when we saw a beautiful painting.

Joji: I was so impressed by the painting.

Cathy: Wait! What is 'impressed'?

(the word 'impressed' pops up in blue)

Joji: Well, 'impressed' is when you think someone or something is great.

Cathy: Yes! I was impressed, too!

Joji: It was a painting of people on a farm.

(we see the painting)

Cathy: I love farms!

Joji: Well, I like it too because it showed the industry of Filipino farmers.

Cathy: Joji, what is 'industry'?

(the word 'impressed' pops up in blue)

Joji: Well, 'industry' is the habit of working hard, or in Filipino, 'kasipagan '.

Cathy: I agree wtih you, Joji. Filiipino farmers are hardworking.

Joji: That's right, but it's not just Filipino farmers, all Filipinos are hard-working. They do not laze around.

(the camera zooms onto a specific frame)

(the words 'laze around' pop up in blue)

Cathy: Laze around? What does that mean?

Joji: To 'laze around' means to relax and do nothing to pass the time.

Cathy: I don't think they have time to laze around! They plant seeds, and wait for them tpo sporout!

(the word 'sprout' pops up in blue)

Joji: That's true. They make sure that their seeds sprout, or grow.

Cathy: I know someone who doesn't laze around.

Joji: Really? Who?

Cathy: Ogot. He doesn't laze around. He is so focused on this painting.

Joji: You're right! He is very serious aabout it, and he's trying his best.

Ogot: I can hear you, guys!

(Joji and Cathy laugh)

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: Do you still remember these words? 'Wandering', 'impressed', 'industry', 'laze around', and 'sprout'! Let's use them in sentences.

(we see Joji and Cathy stare at a painting, the same as before, but zoomed out more, with the options 'wandering' and 'sprout' in red)

Joji: What should we use here? 'Wandering' or 'sprout'? 'Joji and I are ________ in the museum.' (pause) 'Joji and I are wandering in the museum.'

(we see Joji and Cathy impressed by a painting, with the options 'industry' and 'impressed' in red)

Joji: What should we use here? 'I was _________ by the painting.' (pause) We should use the word 'impressed'. (pause) We should use the word 'impressed'. Read the sentence with me! 'I was impressed by the painting.'

(we see the painting with farmers as the subject, with the options 'industry' and 'laze around' in red)

 

Joji: In this sentence, we have to use the word, which is  'kasipagan ' in Filipino. (pause) Industry! Correct! 'The painting shows the industry of Filipino farmers.'

(we see the painting zoomed with the dazed farmer, with the options 'laze around' and 'sprout' in red)

Joji: What words should we use? 'Laze around' or 'sprout'? (pause) Sprout? I don't think so! We have to use 'laze around'. 'Farmers don't laze around, they work hard.'

(we see three seeds, with the options 'sprout' and 'laze around' in red)

Joji: This is the last one! We have to use the word which means 'grow'. (pause) Correct! Sprout. 'Farmers wait for the seeds to sprout.' Thank you for helping me! Goodbye!

(in a park, we see a blue square with a mustache)

Square: I am the perfect shape! (laughs) Check out my four sides and four corners. I am simply the best among all shapes.

(we see a fuschia triangle)

Triangle: I don't think so, Square. I may have less corners and sides, but look! I can adjust the length of my lines, and still be a triangle.

Square: Uh, impressive! But you still don't match my balanced shape! My lines and corners, they are all equal.

Triangle: Got to admit, you look square-rific!

(we see a yellow circle with round glasses)

Circle: Hi, guys.

Triangle: Hey! Look who's here! We're just talking about our corners and sides!

Square: Do you want to join our talk, Circle?

Circle: Um, I-I don't have any corners and sides.

(Square and Triangle laugh)

Triangle: Of course you don't! You are all curves!

Square: Maybe that's why you're round, because you have zero corners, and zero sides.

(Square and Triangle laugh)

(it suddenly rains)

Triangle: What's that?

Circle: Oh, I think it's going to rain.

Square: We need to get out of here!

Triangle: But how do we-

Circle: Hurry, guys, we're all going to get wet! Let's go!

(he rolls around)

(colorful wave transition)

Cathy: Which of these don't belong?

(we see nine circles and one triangle (flag))

Cathy: This is a different shape.

(highlights triangle)

Cathy: How about here?

(we see nine circles and one circle (wheel))

Cathy: You're right. This doesn't belong here.

(highlights circle)

Cathy: I see a lot of triangles!

(we see eight triangles, two circles (ring and donut), and one rectangle (chocolate bar))

Cathy: This one is a rectangle.

(highlights rectangle)

Cathy: There's two more! (pause) These two don't belong.

(highlights circles)

Cathy: They are circles. What doesn't belong here?

(we see six rectangles, two triangles (ruler and pizza), one square (puzzle), and one circle (1 Php))

Cathy: This is a square.

(hihglights square)

Cathy: What else doesn't belong here? (pause) These are triangles.

(highlights triangle)

Cathy: There's one more! (pause) This one is a circle.

(highlights circle)

(we see James in his room)

James: Hey, what's up, it's James Lez Read here, and you've pronbably heard the 's' sound. That's the sound of the letter S.

(colorful wave transition)

James: For the big letter S, you just need to start at the top line, make a curved line, then make another curved line the other way.

(the capital S is drawn)

James: Well, for the small letter S, make a small curved line, then make another small, curved line the other way.

(the small S is drawn)

(colorful wave transition)

James: Do you know what's so special about this squiggly line? You can hear it at the beginning,

(colorful wave transition)

James: like 's-sand', 's-sock', 's-seven', and 's-sun'. We can also hear it at the end of words like' dress', 'chess', 'grass', 'bus'.

(colorful wave transition)

James: So...that's the letter S!

(colorful wave transition)

James: Hi, I'm here in the playground to look for things that have the 's' sound! Let's start here.

(zooms at slide)

James: What things start with the 's' sound? Do you hear it in 'cloud'? I don't. Let's try again. It's in 'slide'. S-slide. I think there's another one. Sun! It begins with the letter S. S-sun. How about here?

(zooms at swing)

James: I see a swing! Do you hear the 's' sound in 'swing'? I hear it too! Swing. How about here?

(zooms at see-saw)

James: Correct! See-saw has the 's' sound! There's one more! Let's find them. Remember, we can also hear it at the end.

(zooms at sandbox)

James: Bike? Are you sure? We can hear it at the end of...'grass'. What are the things that have the letter S?

(zooms at sunflowers)

James: Sunflower! It has the 's' sound. Sunflower. There's one more! Sand.

(colorful wave transition)

James: Thank you for find things that have the 's' sound! Keep looking for other words that have the letter S in them! They're everywhere! (laughs)

(colorful wave transition)

Ogot: Now, i present to you...the fruit of my practice and patience! My masterpiece!

Cathy: Wow, nice piece, Ogot!

Ogot: Thanks to you, Joji, for your reminder about being patient, and for your music!

Joji: You're very welcome, Ogot. And thanks so much for being with us today! We'll see you again next time. We hope you had a great time, because my room is your room.

Everyone: Goodbye!
