¡ADIÓS!

BYE!

MY GIRL POWER IS BEING AN ANTI-BULLYING ADVOCATE AND INSPIRING OTHER PEOPLE THROUGH MY MUSIC AND SINGING.

♪ THE CRAZY KIND OF BEAUTIFUL ♪ SING THE SECOND VERSE.

GO UNTIL THE BRIDGE.

♪ AND WHEN YOU SPEAK TO ME ♪ ♪ YOU SPEAK WITH YOUR ATTITUDE ♪ YEAH, THAT'’S IT.

ACTUALLY, I COULD NOT SING AT ALL WHEN I WAS YOUNGER.

I USED TO LITERALLY SCREAM IN THE SHOWER.

IN KINDERGARTEN, THE FIRST 8 DAYS, I GOT CALLED "FAT."

BY THE TIME I WAS IN FOURTH GRADE, I WAS ALWAYS BULLIED, AND I NOTICED IT HAPPENING MORE AND MORE AND MORE.

IT WAS EASIER FOR ME TO NOT TALK ABOUT THE SITUATION BUT TO WRITE ABOUT IT.

SO, I DEFINITELY THINK THAT MUSIC, FOR ME, IS MY OUTLET OUT OF, LIKE, LIFE.

IT'’S MY OUTLET FOR EVERYTHING I'’M GOING THROUGH, FOR EVERYTHING THAT THIS WORLD IS GOING THROUGH.

EVEN CHARLOTTE AS A WHOLE HAS GONE THROUGH SOME TOUGH TIMES.

I WROTE ABOUT, LIKE, WHEN THE RIOTS WERE COMING, BECAUSE I WAS JUST STRUCK BY IT.

I WAS ONLY 12 YEARS OLD, AND I STILL SING IT TO THIS DAY.

♪ WILL YOU BE MY ANGEL ♪ ♪ WILL YOU HELP ME WHEN IT'’S HARD ♪ ♪ SHELTER MY HEART ♪ ♪ THE CRAZY KIND OF BEAUTIFUL ♪ MY SONG, "THE CRAZY KIND OF BEAUTIFUL" CAME FROM A TIME WHERE I WAS CALLED "UGLY," AND PEOPLE WERE CALLING ME DIFFERENT NAMES, AND IT WAS LIKE... "WELL, I'’M UNIQUE, AND I'’M BEAUTIFUL," AND I JUST KIND OF CAME UP WITH "I'’M THE CRAZY KIND OF BEAUTIFUL."

WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT GIRL POWER USING MY SONG, "CRAZY KIND OF BEAUTIFUL," AS THE THEME SONG, I WAS REALLY, REALLY, REALLY EXCITED.

IT WAS MY FIRST SONG THAT I RECORDED, AND I WAS, LIKE...

I FELT PRETTY HONORED.

OKAY.

I WANT TO DO YOUR MAKEUP.

[laughs] REALLY?

MY MOM... HAS TAUGHT ME A LOT OF LESSONS, AND ONE OF THEM, WHICH I USE A LOT TO THIS DAY, IS YOU CANNOT LET PEOPLE DEFINE YOU.

SO, IT'’S THE 1, 2?

I ACTUALLY GOT ASKED BY THE MUSIC DIRECTOR FOR OUR SCHOOL TO WRITE THE GRADUATION SONG, AND I WAS UP ON STAGE, AND I WAS ON THE PIANO, AND I WAS SINGING MY GRADUATION SONG, WHILE ALL MY BULLIES WERE OUT IN THE CROWD, AND THEY WERE SINGING BEHIND ME.

SO, THAT KIND OF MADE ME FEEL GOOD, AND EVER SINCE THEN, IT'’S LIKE, I KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THE SITUATION OF BULLYING.

I KNOW HOW TO BE CONFIDENT, BECAUSE I HAVE A POSITIVE MINDSET.

AND I'’M ALL ABOUT POSITIVITY.

[both laugh] I JUST READ THAT KANGAROOS CAN'’T WALK BACKWARDS.

CAN YOU?

DON'’T TRY IT NOW, THOUGH, OR YOU MIGHT MISS THIS AWESOME LITERACY LESSON.

♪ ♪ HELLO, READERS.

MY NAME IS MS. JILL.

I'’M SO EXCITED TO BE LEARNING WITH YOU TODAY.

BEFORE WE GET STARTED, LET'’S SAY OUR HELLO SONG.

[ singing to the tune of "Frère Jacques" ] TODAY, WE ARE GOING TO BE EXPLORERS.

WE ARE GOING TO EXPLORE LANDMARKS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

LOOK AT THIS WORD, "LANDMARK."

IT IS A COMPOUND WORD, WHICH MEANS IT IS MADE UP OF 2 SMALLER WORDS.

CAN YOU SEE THE 2 WORDS THAT MAKE UP "LANDMARK"?

THAT'’S RIGHT, "LAND" AND "MARK."

A LANDMARK IS...

LANDMARKS ARE FAMOUS PLACES.

CAN YOU THINK OF A LANDMARK RIGHT HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA?

I THOUGHT OF THE BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY IN OUR NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS, THE CAPE HATTERAS LIGHTHOUSE OUT IN THE OUTER BANKS, AND THE STATE CAPITOL BUILDING IN RALEIGH.

HAVE YOU VISITED ANY OF THOSE LANDMARKS?

AWESOME.

WE ARE GOING TO LEARN AND THINK ABOUT OTHER U.S.

LANDMARKS THROUGH A TEXT.

AND WE KNOW THAT READERS ARE ALWAYS LEARNING NEW INFORMATION FROM BOTH THE WORDS IN THE TEXT AND THE IMAGES IN A BOOK.

WE'’LL DO THAT TOGETHER TODAY.

TODAY, WE'’RE READING THIS BOOK, "LANDMARKS U.S.A.," BY LIBBY BRERETON.

WE WILL READ ABOUT SEVERAL LANDMARKS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

AS WE READ, LET'’S SEE WHAT INFORMATION WE LEARN FROM BOTH THE TEXT AND THE ILLUSTRATIONS.

WHEN TEXTS HAVE ILLUSTRATIONS LIKE MAPS, PHOTOS, OR DRAWINGS, WE CAN CLOSELY EXAMINE THEM, TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE TOPIC, WHICH, TODAY, WILL BE LANDMARKS.

ARE YOU READY, LANDMARK EXPLORERS?

OKAY.

LET'’S READ.

I'’M GOING TO STOP HERE AND THINK ABOUT WHAT I HAVE LEARNED.

GOOD READERS STOP AND THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY'’RE READING AND WHAT THEY'’RE SEEING IN THE ILLUSTRATIONS.

THE FIRST PART OF THE TEXT LET US KNOW WHAT A LANDMARK IS.

LET'’S RECORD WHAT WE LEARNED ON THIS CHART.

IN THE FIRST COLUMN, WE WILL LIST INFORMATION THAT WE LEARNED IN THIS BOOK.

IN THE NEXT COLUMN, WE WILL PUT A CHECK IF WE LEARNED THAT PIECE OF INFORMATION FROM THE WORDS IN THE TEXT.

IF WE LEARNED THE INFORMATION FROM THE ILLUSTRATIONS, OR PICTURES, WE'’LL PUT A CHECK IN THIS BOX.

ON THESE PAGES, I LEARNED A LANDMARK IS AN IMPORTANT OR SPECIAL BUILDING OR PLACE.

I'’M GOING TO PLACE THAT INFORMATION RIGHT HERE IN THE FIRST COLUMN.

HMM, DID I LEARN THAT INFORMATION FROM THE WORDS IN THE TEXT OR THE ILLUSTRATIONS?

OH, I LEARNED IT FROM THE WORDS.

RIGHT HERE, IT SAYS...

I WILL CHECK THE BOX UNDER "WORDS."

WHAT ELSE DID I LEARN?

ON THIS PAGE, I LEARNED THERE ARE LANDMARKS ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES.

I'’M GOING TO PLACE THAT INFORMATION IN THE LEFTHAND COLUMN TOO.

HMM, DID I LEARN THAT INFORMATION FROM THE WORDS IN THE TEXT OR THE ILLUSTRATIONS?

OH, I LEARNED THAT FROM THE ILLUSTRATIONS.

I SEE ON THE MAP OF THE UNITED STATES THERE ARE LOTS OF DIFFERENT LANDMARKS, WHICH TELLS ME THERE ARE LANDMARKS ALL OVER OUR COUNTRY.

I'’M GOING TO CHECK THE BOX UNDER "PICTURES."

NOW, IT'’S YOUR TURN.

LET'’S KEEP READING, AND AS WE READ, YOU'’LL TELL ME WHAT INFORMATION YOU LEARNED ABOUT EACH LANDMARK.

MAKE SURE TO LISTEN TO THE WORDS IN THE TEXT FOR INFORMATION, AND TO EXAMINE THE PICTURES AND ILLUSTRATIONS AS WELL.

SO, HERE WE GO.

THE STATUE OF LIBERTY IS RIGHT HERE, IN NEW YORK CITY.

OKAY, LANDMARK EXPLORERS.

LET'’S STOP HERE AND THINK ABOUT WHAT WE JUST LEARNED.

TAKE A MOMENT TO THINK.

THEN SAY ONE THING YOU LEARNED ABOUT THE STATUE OF LIBERTY.

READY?

GREAT LISTENING.

I HEARD SOMEONE SAY PEOPLE CAN CLIMB TO THE TOP OF THE STATUE.

LET'’S PLACE THIS FACT IN THE FIRST COLUMN.

NOW, WHERE DID WE LEARN THIS INFORMATION?

WAS IT FROM THE WORDS IN THE TEXT OR THE ILLUSTRATIONS?

WHEN I GIVE YOU THE SIGNAL, I WANT YOU TO TELL ME IF WE LEARNED IT FROM THE TEXT OR THE PICTURES.

READY?

1, 2, 3...

EXACTLY RIGHT.

WE LEARNED THIS FACT FROM THE TEXT.

RIGHT HERE, THE TEXT SAYS PEOPLE CAN WALK ALL THE WAY UP TO THE CROWN, WHICH TELLS ME VISITORS CAN GO UP TO THE TOP OF THIS TALL STATUE, HERE IN THE CROWN.

SO, NOW, LET'’S READ SOME MORE.

OH, THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT IS IN OUR NATION'’S CAPITAL, WASHINGTON, D.C. LET'’S STOP AGAIN AND THINK ABOUT WHAT WE JUST LEARNED.

THINK FOR A MOMENT, THEN SAY ONE THING YOU LEARNED ABOUT THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.

1, 2, 3...

AWESOME!

I HEARD SOMEONE SAY THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT IS IN WASHINGTON, D.C. LET'’S PLACE THIS FACT IN THE FIRST COLUMN.

NOW, WHERE DID WE LEARN THIS INFORMATION?

WAS IT FROM THE TEXT OR THE PICTURES?

TELL ME ON 3.

1, 2, 3... GOOD.

WE LEARNED THIS FACT FROM THE PICTURES.

THIS ILLUSTRATION OF THE MAP SHOWS US THAT THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT IS HERE, IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

OKAY, LET'’S READ ON.

LOOK, THE WHITE HOUSE IS ALSO IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

SO, LET'’S STOP AND THINK ABOUT WHAT WE LEARNED ABOUT THE WHITE HOUSE.

THINK AND SAY ONE THING YOU LEARNED ABOUT THE WHITE HOUSE.

YOU ALL ARE KNOCKING MY SOCKS OFF.

I HEARD SEVERAL LANDMARK EXPLORERS SAY THAT THE PRESIDENT LIVES AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

LET'’S ADD THIS FACT TO OUR CHART.

NOW, WHERE DID WE LEARN THIS INFORMATION, FROM THE TEXT OR THE PICTURES?

TELL ME ON 3.

1, 2, 3...

YES, WE LEARNED THIS FACT FROM THE TEXT.

HERE, THE TEXT SAYS: "THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES LIVES AND WORKS THERE."

GOOD.

NOW, LET'’S READ SOME MORE.

HMM.

THE GATEWAY ARCH IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY, IN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.

NOW, LET'’S THINK ABOUT WHAT WE LEARNED ABOUT THE GATEWAY ARCH.

THINK, THEN TELL ME ONE THING YOU LEARNED ABOUT THE ARCH.

YES.

ONE THING I HEARD WAS THAT THE ARCH IS IN A BIG, CURVED SHAPE.

LET'’S ADD THIS FACT TO OUR CHART.

NOW, WHERE DID WE LEARN THIS INFORMATION?

WAS IT FROM THE TEXT OR THE PICTURES?

TELL ME ON 3.

1, 2, 3... YOU GOT IT.

THE GATEWAY ARCH IS IN THE SHAPE THAT WE SEE IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH.

WE CAN SEE IT IS A TALL, CURVED STRUCTURE.

IT IS IN THE PICTURES.

OKAY, LANDMARK EXPLORERS.

LET'’S READ ABOUT ONE MORE LANDMARK FOR TODAY.

OH, THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE IS OVER HERE ON THE WEST COAST OF THE U.S., IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.

NOW, WHAT DID WE LEARN ABOUT THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE FROM THIS BOOK?

THINK OF SOMETHING, THEN TELL ME.

AMAZING!

I HEARD SOMEONE SAY THAT IT IS RED.

LET'’S ADD THIS FACT TO OUR CHART.

NOW, WHERE DID WE LEARN THIS INFORMATION?

WAS IT FROM THE TEXT OR THE PICTURES?

TELL ME ON 3.

1, 2, 3... YOU ALL SURE ARE CLEVER.

I TRIED TO TRICK YOU WITH THAT ONE.

SOME OF YOU NOTICED WE LEARNED THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE IS RED FROM BOTH THE TEXT AND THE PICTURE.

HERE, IT SAYS... AND IN THIS PICTURE, WE CAN SEE THAT THE BRIDGE IS A RED COLOR.

WE'’LL CHECK BOTH COLUMNS.

LANDMARK EXPLORERS, YOU HAVE EXAMINED THE TEXT AND ILLUSTRATIONS SO CLOSELY TODAY.

THANK YOU FOR READING WITH ME TO LEARN NEW INFORMATION ABOUT U.S.

LANDMARKS.

WE USED THE WORDS IN THE TEXT TO LEARN ABOUT EACH LANDMARK, AND WE ALSO USED THE ILLUSTRATIONS AND PICTURES TO LEARN INFORMATION.

GOOD READERS PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO BOTH THE WORDS IN THE TEXT AND THE ILLUSTRATIONS TO LEARN ABOUT A TOPIC.

SEE YOU NEXT TIME, LANDMARK EXPLORERS.

ALRIGHT, THAT'’S ANOTHER DAY OF LEARNING IN THE BOOKS.

GO AHEAD, DAP YOURSELF UP.

UH-HUH.

BAM.

PEACE, LOVE, AND LEARNING, HOMIES.
