Welcome back to our PBS classroom.

My name is Mrs. Vang and I'm so excited to have you join me so that we can become amazing readers and writers.

And I know some of you guys are becoming amazing readers and are now ready for our chapter books.

So this week I wanted to share some of my favorite chapter book series with you.

Today I'm gonna share with you "The Magic Tree House" series.

Now this is a series meaning there are more than one book.

So if you notice in the corner, this is it, number one book, and then after that you go to number two, and then after that you go to book three.

Now there are lots of books in here so it doesn't stop at number three.

Now the "Magic Tree House" books are written by Mary Pope Osborne and they follow siblings, Annie and Jack who finds a magic tree house.

And guess what?

Inside the magic tree house, they find lots of books and they go back in time to learn.

Oh, actually they go back in time according to the book that they opened up and they have to learn all these fun, what I call fun history facts to get back home.

So if you wanna read about Jack and Annie's adventure, make sure you're checking out the "Magic Tree House" series book.

You can try to find them on Sora or your county library.

Now, speaking of Sora, today we're gonna go through our top five school.

And since today's Tuesday, we're gonna go to the number four school.

So let's see which school came in at number four.

Let's see.

Are you ready?

Olmos.

Awesome job Olmos.

You guys are doing an awesome job reading.

Don't forget if you wanna be in our top countdown, you need to be checking out books and reading.

Okay, are you ready to get started?

Awesome.

We're gonna start with our... Good job.

Your listening ears.

So make sure you turn your listening ears up and that you are training your brains.

Today we're gonna play a fun game called, "Which Word Doesn't Belong".

This is where I'm going to say three words, your job is to find the word that doesn't belong.

And here's a hint, listen for my vowel sound.

Are you ready?

Okay.

So I'm gonna say three words.

Find the word that doesn't belong.

Ready?

If I said leaf, neat, shine.

Say it again with me.

Leaf, neat, shine.

Did you hear that?

Which word doesn't belong?

Shine.

Good job.

'Cause shine has the I.

Leaf and neat both have the E sound, the long E. Good job boys and girls.

Okay, are you ready for the next set of words?

Awesome.

Ready?

Knob, Limb, fin.

Help you read again.

Knob, limb, fin.

Which word doesn't belong?

Good, knob.

Knob says, O. Limp says, E. Fin says, E. Short I sound.

Good job.

Okay.

Last set up words.

Ready?

Sign, loaf, night.

Say them with me.

Sign, loaf, night.

Which word doesn't belong?

Good job.

Loaf.

Loaf says, O.

S which is the long O.

Sign and night both say, I.

Awesome job, boys and girls.

You guys are doing such a good job using the listening ears.

Now, let's go into our phonics instruction for the week.

Don't forget, with this week, we are focusing on silent letters.

So let me get my chart to help us read and write.

Are you ready?

So, this week we're focusing on silent letters.

And that means these words do not make a sound, but they do show up when we're reading or writing.

So it's important to know them so that when you write or especially when you write, you need to put these letters in its place or else it's not gonna be spelled correctly.

Okay, help me spell and say these silent letters.

And if you look at my chart, it says, "You see us, but you don't hear us."

So if it's a dark letter, like right here with the kn, it's gonna make that sound.

You see where it's a outline of the letter, that's what we call a silent letter or a ghost letter.

Doesn't make any sound, but it's there.

Okay, now are you ready to read with me?

Good.

Spell it and read it with me.

Kn says, kn.

Gn says, gn.

Wr says, wr.

Good.

That r the sound r sound.

Sc says, sc.

Good job.

And don't forget that's a tricky one because there's only a few words that has that silent letter of sc, 'cause sc we've already learned is a blend.

Sc says, sc and mb says, mb.

And mb usually happens at the end of a word and it's very tricky again, because when you write it, don't forget to put that B even though we don't hear it.

Okay.

Now I have some letters here for us.

Help me blend these letters together.

Ready?

Th says, th.

Good.

That's a diagraph.

Thumb.

What's my word?

Thumb.

Good job.

Show me your thumb up.

Good job.

Thumbs up.

Now, let's look at the next set of letters.

Okay.

When I'm looking and I see the sc and I know that says, sc, 'cause that's C is silent, but guess what other pattern I see?

There's a vowel, consonant, silent E pattern that we've learned already.

And so that tells me that that E is going to say E, but that E at the end is another silent letter and it's not gonna say as it sounds.

Ready?

Help me read this word.

Scene.

Scene.

Good job.

A scene, like a scene from a play.

Good job, boys and girls.

Okay, now help me build a word.

What if I want to build a word knot?

Knot.

Now listen to my sentence.

I have a knot in my shoe laces.

Knot.

So not the not, but the knot like in my shoelaces.

So, how do I spell it?

Segment if you need to.

Kn, o, t. Knot.

For sound kn, and it's like K-N. Did you know that?

Did you get it?

Good.

Kn, o, o.

Good.

That's just the O.

And knot.

Good job.

And that's my T that says knot.

K-N-O-T.

Knot.

How did you do?

Awesome job, boys and girls.

Okay.

Now, let's practice reading some words with silent letters.

Are you ready?

Okay, let's see if you can see those silent letters.

I'm going to grab my reading fingers to help us.

Okay.

Ready?

Crumb, knit, scent.

Did you see that?

Crumb.

There's that silent B. Knit had a silent K. Scent had that silent C. Good.

Limb, wrong, climb.

Knight.

Good.

And this has that silent K. So this is the knight like the night from the medieval times.

The noun knight.

Wrist and design.

And there's that gn at the end that says, gn.

Design.

Knock and science.

How did you do?

Awesome job, boys and girls.

Now let's read the sentence.

It says, that cat climbs out of the tree limb.

Awesome job, boys and girls.

Now, let's practice writing a sentence together.

Here's my sentence.

Ready?

Sue knocked down the sign.

Say with me.

Sue knocked down the sign.

Five words.

Okay, my first word was Sue.

Help me spell it.

S, it's a name and it starts a sentence so it should be capitalized.

Sue knocked... Good, there's my K in my silent letter, knocked.

And if you listen, knocked, oh, that's a C. It doesn't look like it, but it is a C. Knocked.

And we know ed can also make that sound.

Remember, it means that already happened.

Sue knocked down... That's a high-frequency, words that we've already learned.

Sue knocked down the sign.

Did you get that silent letter in?

Good job, boys and girls.

Okay.

Now, let's go into our high-frequency words 'cause remember, high-frequency words are words that show up most often when we are reading.

Oops, let me get this in its place.

So it's important to know how to read and write them automatically so that we can save all of our brain power for those longer words to stretch out and spell when we are writing.

Okay, all week we have 10 words.

Today we're just gonna focus on two.

Ready?

Help me read and write.

First word is, very.

Help me read it.

Very.

Good job.

Help me spell it.

V-E-R-Y.

Very.

Next word is through.

Help me read it.

Through.

Help me spell it.

T-H-R-O-U-G-H.

Through.

Now, I have two sentences for you.

I want you to read my sentences with me and let's figure out which one of these words would go into my sentence so that it will make sense.

Don't forget to use your context clues to help you.

Let's do the first sentence.

We take a walk hmm the park.

Hmm.

Are you thinking about what you want to go in there?

Let's do the second sentence.

That joke is hmm funny.

Oh, I hear some of you guys.

That joke is... And you're saying it's very funny.

You're right.

Did you get it?

Good.

That must mean through goes in the second sentence.

Let's read it.

We take a walk through the park.

How did you do?

Awesome job.

Now, let's practice reading all of our high frequency words.

We'll start...

Excuse me.

We'll start with the two that we learned today.

Ready?

Through, very, many, morning, eat, sleep, down, colors, don't and below.

Good job, boys and girls.

Okay, now let's go into our structural analysis.

This week we're going to be learning prefixes and suffixes.

We've already learned these skills already so it's gonna be a review for us this week.

Now, remember prefixes comes at the beginning of a word to change its meaning.

And we've learned the prefixes re which means again< un which means not, dis which means not or opposite.

Suffixes are at the end of a word and it changes the meaning of a word.

And we know ful means full of, and less means without.

And I have my little prefix and suffix picture to help us if you need it with the prefix in the beginning, suffix at the end, base word in the middle.

So let's look at my prefixes and suffixes.

My words with prefixes and suffixes.

Here's the word unkind.

Unkind means not kind.

You're right.

So let's change that.

Good job.

How about rewrap?

Re means again.

Wrap again.

Good job.

Useful.

Ful means full of.

So if you're useful, it's full of use.

Good job.

I'm going to change that so it matches my definition.

How did you do?

Awesome job, boys and girls?

So, all week we're gonna be focusing on silent letters and prefixes and suffixes.

I'm gonna leave you with my message of the day which is, "It is kind of fun to do the impossible."

And that comes from Walt Disney.

So boys and girls, don't ever think that something is impossible to do.

Keep trying 'cause I know you guys are awesome and you can do hard things.

Don't forget to come back tomorrow so that we can continue learning.

Have a great day.

Bye-bye.
