The video I watched had to do with bedtime routines. The main moral of the video is to show children to make sure they go to the bathroom before they go to bed and also to get all their energy out. Going to the bathroom before going to bed is important for children so that they don't pee in their beds. And also, getting their never your so that they can sleep better throughout the night.

The moral of the video is to teach kids to be comfortable in their own skin, no matter what color it is.
Also to teach the importance of what skin is and does.
DeleteThe video I watched was about everyone and their skin color and the moral was that everyone is the same. Skin color does not change a person. O'Malley Walsh

ReplyDeleteI watched a video that had to do with potty time. The moral of the story is to teach your kids how to be comfortable while going to the bathroom.

ReplyDeleteLearn to count
I think that a parent would show their child this video because it would be a more enjoyable way to learn to count then just having their parents try and teach them, watching a song is more fun then having someone talk to you.
I think that Sesame St. Is a way for parents to get thier kids to grow up. For example I watched put down the binky, In this video Elmo talks about how he's not a baby anymore and should get rid of his binky.

My video was on empathy which is important for children to learn so that they can understand how other people feel, they need to realize that they aren't the only one that have feelings and emotions. Through empathy children will be able to learn to connect with others through how they feel.

ReplyDeleteVideo: Beautiful Skin
The song talks about how people have all different colors and shades of skin and each color is beautiful. It also says how skin is important and it covers us from head to toe. The point of the video is to explain the purpose of skin and explain how everyone has it. It's trying to teach appreciation of different races and also promoting self love.

Everyone is unique no one is exactly the same as the other.

ReplyDeleteLupita loves her skin, the moral is to show kids that's should love and be comfortable in their skin no matter the color
(Preventing racism)
DeleteMy video was about skin variety. How skin helps you and what it's purpose is. All skin is the same no matter what color it is and it's all beautiful. - Nadia

ReplyDeleteEvan Lysacek teaches confidence

Evan is teaching kids to be confident in themselves because the plant thing didn't think he could tell everyone the definition of confidence. So even told him what it meant and then he felt confident in himself so he told everyone the definition again.
ReplyDeleteI watched the video called the beautiful skin song. It was about how everyone has skin of different colors. It's used to teach children that all colors of skin are beautiful. Abby French
Kids just love to brush - Briyana
ReplyDeleteThe moral of this video is showing kids that it's cool and fun to brush your teeth. That everybody does it and they should always do it too. This shows kids that they should brush their teeth every morning and every night, in a fun and kid-friendly way.
It teaches that it is okay and if parents are divorced because they still love you. Even though they live I'm different places and it's normal.
ReplyDeleteCassidy
The moral of my video was all about words. Cookie Monster teaches us that if you have one word, if you change one letter in it you can make lots of different words. Parents would want their kids to watch this because it shows that spelling can be fun.

Sesame St. (Raise Your Hand), Michael Clay.
ReplyDeleteThe message of this video, is to teach children how to be polite and respectful in class. By raising your hand your not blurting something out. It shows the teacher that your paying attention and that you are trying to participate in the classroom activity. By blurting out things, it's disrespecting the teacher, because your showing that you are impatient. So the video shows how raising your hand is a very respectful and polite way to answer questions in class.
Every children need imagination ! You can imagine a stick into the baton, drum stick or the magic wand. You can imagine you are the conductor drummer and witch . Also you can use everything to imagine ,just use your imagination ! Parents also want their children use imagination to create and think.
ReplyDeleteThe main moral or message of this story is to learn the alphabet with jungle animals. Parents would read this to their children because they need to know the basic letters to make words and to speak. It helps socialize your kids because they need to know how to talk to their peers and by doing that they need to learn the alphabet first.Tori Daigle
ReplyDeleteHealthy eating- Gabby
ReplyDeleteThe video I watched was about healthy eating and how everyone, even Elmo, should eat fruits and vegetables. They were talking about how different fruits and vegetables were different colors.
The moral of the video was to teach children it doesn't matter if you get wrong or fail with something, keep doing these things and finally one day you will achieve your goal. Success is built by insisting such as drop water into a pit every day, and one day it will be a sea.

What parents would want their kids to get out of the bicycle video is that when they are either at school or at a play date and more than one of them wants a certain toy, or wants to use something, then they should take turns and share that toy with the other child.
ReplyDeleteBrandie Taylor
My video was about raising your hand. The importance of raising your hand is to be respectful of your teacher and all the kids around you. It's also important to make sure you're taking turns with other kids and giving them the opportunity to talk.
