My name is Mrs. Vang, I'm so excited to have you here with me so that we can become amazing readers and writers, which I know you guys are doing such a good job at.
So, remember this week I'm sharing books from my daughter's bookshelf, and these are some of her favorite books that she loved reading in second grade, and she said I can bring them here to share with you guys.
Now, this is a book called, "Hello my name is."
Have you seen this book?
Oh my goodness, I remember she loved reading this book because boys and girls, what do you call the most adorable octopus in the ocean?
Well, we call this adorable octopus Adorabilis, isn't that cute?
So, if you wanna read how Adorabilis got his name, see if you can find this book on Sora or at your County library.
It really is an adorable book and guess what?
It is actually named after an adorabilis, I'm gonna to show you a real picture.
It's what they call a flapjack octopus.
Look how adorable that octopus is and that's why it's got it's name, Adorabilis, and it was found off the coast of California by scientists at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
So, every time we read this book my daughter always tells me it's time to go visit the aquarium.
And so if you haven't been to the Monterey Aquarium that's a great place to be, to see these awesome creatures.
So, see if you can find this book to read 'cause it is adorable.
Now, speaking of Sora, let's see which school has been checking out books and made it into our top countdown.
Are you ready?
Let's see if your school, let's see if it's your school, fingers crossed, okay, ready?
Coming in in the number two spot is, let's see, Wilson.
Good job Wilson Elementary.
You guys are doing such a good job checking out those books on Sora and reading, awesome job.
Now remember boys and girls, if you wanna see your school in our top countdown, make sure you are checking out those books on the Sora app and reading them.
Awesome job.
Can't wait to see who comes in, in number one tomorrow, so stay tuned.
Now, don't forget boys and girls to write to me here at the studio.
I wanna know what you're learning and what you're reading.
So, you see the add just below, use the add just below, write to me here so that I can get your letter.
Or you can email me and tell me again, what books that you are reading and I'm gonna try to find them so I can recommend to other boys and girls.
And if you write to me I'll send you one of these fun activity books.
Do you have one of them?
You don't, you know how to get it.
How do you get it, by writing to me, okay.
I can't wait to get your letter.
Okay, boys and girls.
Now, are you ready to get started with our learning today?
Awesome, okay.
And we know we always start off by, that's right, training our ears, right?
Because we need to hear sounds, in order to resound, in order to write them.
So, we're gonna play a game called Full Name Deletion today.
So this is where I'm gonna say a word, we're going to segment it, just like how we were practicing yesterday with segmenting, and then I'm gonna delete and take a sound away.
And then you're gonna blend it and we're gonna make a new word.
Are you ready?
Okay, let's see how you guys do with the first word.
So, if I said the word coil, coil, segment it for me.
Ready?
/c/ /oi/ /l/ coil.
Now if I take off the /l/ what's my new word?
/c/ /oi/ What is it, coi.
How did you do?
Good, you got it.
That's all we have to do.
Okay, next word, ready?
Segment the word foil, foil.
Ready, let's see how you did.
/f/ /oi/ /l/ foil.
How many sounds in foil?
Three sounds, but guess what?
Now I want you to delete the /f/.
Now what's my word?
/oi/ /l/ oil, good job.
How did you do?
Thumbs up, awesome, okay.
Last word, ready?
Okay, say the word joint, joint.
Okay, segment it for me.
/j/ /oi/ /n/ /t/ joint.
How many sounds?
Four sounds.
Okay, what if I take away the /t/ at the end, what's my new word?
Just /j/ /oi/ /n/.
What is it, join.
Good job, how did you do?
Awesome, oh, you guys are getting so smart.
Good job, boys and girls.
Okay, now if you're listening, what was that vowel sound you heard?
We heard the /oi/ sound, you're right.
So let's look at my boy card.
This week we are learning the /oi/ sound.
Say it again with me, /oi/.
Good job and if you look at my boy card there are two different ways that we can spell the /oi/ sound, so get your fingers in the air and write it with me.
O I says /oi/, good.
Help me spell the next spelling.
Ready, in the air write it with me.
O Y says /oy/, good job.
Now remember, when we hear that /oi/ in the beginning or middle, it's usually spelt with the O I.
When we hear the /oy/ at the end of a word, it's usually spelt with the O Y.
Now, I have some letters here for us.
Help me blend them together, ready?
There's a /oi/.
Ready, let's blend it.
B, that's not a B, were you listening?
Good.
The P says /p/, good job.
/p/ /oi/ /n/ /t/, what's my word?
Point, good job, point.
Now, let's look at the next set of letters.
Help me blend it.
/j/ /oy/, what is it?
Joy, good job.
How did you do?
Awesome, now, if I wanted to build a word, here's my word point, but what if I want to build the word joint, joint?
Like my husband and I have a joint savings and checking account, joint.
How would I spell that?
Good, it has the same /oint/, you're right, so I just change the /p/ to a /j/, good job.
So now here's the word, joint.
J O I N T, joint.
How did you do?
Good, now, here's my word joy.
Now, what if I wanted to spell the word enjoy?
Like, I hope you enjoy going to school and learning today.
Enjoy, good, let's spell it.
The first one is /e/ /e/ /en/, again two syllables, so you can break up your syllables to spell and read words.
/en/ /joy/, you're right, I don't have to spell joy again.
Let's just add it up to my word, now joy becomes enjoy.
How did you do?
Awesome job, boys and girls.
You guys are doing such a good job.
Okay, now, today is Thursday so you know what that means?
You're right, we get to read a book today.
So let me move this out of the way and before we read boys and girls, let's quickly go over our fluency checklist.
So when you're reading, make sure that you are reading words correctly, so we're gonna work on our accuracy, make sure that you're reading not too slow, not too fast, working on your rate, and using your reading with feelings.
So we're gonna be working on our expression and then paying attention to those punctuation.
Today, I have a nonfiction text called "Join a Team!"
and as you're reading, I want you to see what you can learn from being on a team.
Oh, and make sure you are listening and reading those /oi/ words, are you ready?
Let's read it together.
Join a Team!
One way to find out how to work together is to join a sports team.
You can stay busy and feel happy!
A girl joined a soccer team.
She made new friends and found out how to play a new sport.
She found out how to pass to other kids and score points.
She found out how to be a good teammate.
Her mom brought oranges to the game.
The girls loved the sweet treat!
This boy joined a basketball team.
He met a lot of boys he liked.
He found out that this game is a team sport, too.
From the first coin toss that starts a game, players play hard to score points.
They foil the other team's play.
One player can't do it all.
Winning is a joint effort.
Softball is a team sport, too.
A pitcher needs other players to help him or her win.
The short stop catches ground balls.
Other players catch fly balls.
When you bat, your teammates cheer and make noise for you.
That's part of being a team!
(gentle music) So what can you learn from being on a team?
Working together, did you get that?
Awesome, now, did you read any of the words with that /oi/ sound and did you find some of our high-frequency words?
I did, let's read them ,ready?
Let's see, look at all the words with that /oi/ we spelt the O I.
Let's read it.
Foil, coin, noise, points, joint, join, lots of words.
And boy spelt with a O Y, good.
Okay, look at the high frequency words I found.
Let's read it.
Happy, love, busy and brought.
Good job, boys and girls.
Now, speaking of high frequency words, let's go and practice our high frequency words.
Let me pull my chart over.
Remember all week we have 10 words that we are gonna be learning.
Every day we're gonna focus on two.
Ready, the two that we're gonna work on today is the word else and happy.
Help me read and spell them again, ready?
First word else.
Good, read it again, else.
Spell it, E L S E, else, good.
Next word, happy, good.
Read it again, happy.
Spell it, H A P P Y, happy, good job.
Now I have two sentences, help me try to figure out which one of these words will go into the sentence so that all makes sense, ready?
First sentence, what mm do you need to bring?
Ooh, it's a question, use those context clues if you need to, to help you.
Next sentence, help me read it.
The dog wags its tail when it is mm.
Oh, I see and I hear you guys using those context clues, good.
And you guys are telling me that dog wags his tail when it is happy, good job.
So that must mean else goes in the first sentence.
Let's read it.
What else do you need to bring?
How did you do?
Awesome job, boys and girls.
Now, let's go into our structural analysis.
Remember all week we've been practicing that consonant plus the L E, E L, OR A L syllable.
That just means that whenever you see the E, I'm sorry, the L E, the E L, and the A L, they all make the same sound.
They all say /el/ but when we see them we put the consonant together before we divide into syllables so that we can read a word.
So here's my word.
I see the A L at the end.
I'm gonna keep that consonant with it.
I'm gonna divide it, now I have two syllables and now I can blend and sound out each syllable.
This is glo, remember the O by itself, it's an open syllable.
It's gonna say the long vowel, glo.
Now, just as this, the next syllable says, /b/ /al/, put it together, what's my word, global.
You see how we can divide words into syllables?
Good, let's try the next one.
There's my L E, put the consonant with it, divide it, now we know E A says /ea/ /gle/.
What's my word, eagle.
You guys are doing such a good job.
See if you can do that last one by yourself.
I wanna see if you guys can divide that into syllables and good job and say the word, right?
So whenever you are looking, I mean reading, and you see those words, make sure you are dividing it correctly to help you read.
Boys and girls you guys are doing such a good job.
Make sure to come back tomorrow so that we can continue our learning.
Have a great day today, I'll see you tomorrow, bye-bye.
