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

Now remember, yesterday I said that all week we're gonna focus on books about kindness so I have a very special book to share with you guys today.

This is a book called "Have You Filled A Bucket Today?"

and it talks all about filling up our bucket because boys and girls, did you know that we all have this invisible bucket and when someone is nice to you or say nice things to you, you feel special, right?

And so that's what we call we're filling in our bucket.

So, like, if I said, "You are beautiful" or if I said, "You are so smart", how did that make you feel?

Oh, awesome, so glad I was able to fill your bucket!

Now, people can fill our bucket and they can also dip into our bucket and when people do that they're being mean and saying unkind words.

So, we're gonna focus on filling each other's bucket through kindness, so I want you to think what can you do to fill someone's bucket today?

Now, if you want to read this book, make sure you check it out on SORA or at your county library to see what you can do to fill other people's bucket.

Okay?

Awesome job, boys and girls.

Now, speaking of SORA, let's see which school came in our top countdown.

So, yesterday we revealed our school in Number Five, today we're gonna reveal which school came in at Number Four.

Are you ready?

Let's see!

Coming in at Number Four is Olmos!

Awesome job, Olmos!

You guys are doing an amazing job checking out books and reading.

Now, boys and girls, if you want to recommend some books for me to share with everybody, make sure you're writing to me.

Use the address below, write to me and tell me what books I should be sharing with everybody or you can just write and tell me what you're learning and I'll send you one of these fun activity books just for writing to me.

All right?

Awesome job, boys and girls.

Okay, are you guys ready to get started with our learning today?

Awesome, cause remember, our job is to make our brain smart, you're right and strong so we're gonna start with our listening ears.

Your right, turn those listening ears up.

We're gonna play a game called "Guess My Word".

You guys know how to play this, this is where I'm gonna say some sounds, your job is to blend it together to guess my word.

Are you ready?

Okay.

Get those listening ears up, here's my first set of sounds.

What's my word?

Ready?

V-er-b.

Listen again.

V-er-b.

What's my word?

Verb.

Good job, like a verb is an action word.

Awesome.

Okay, here's my second set of sounds, ready?

Th-er-d. Th-er-d. What's my word?

Third, like next year you'll be in Third Grade!

Awesome job.

Okay, last set of sounds, ready?

N-er-s.

Listen again, n-er-s. What is it?

Nurse!

Awesome job, boys and girls and I want to say thank you to all of our nurses out there.

Awesome job, boys and girls.

Okay, now that we've got our ears turned up let's go into our phonics instruction.

This week, remember, we are learning our control vowel sound, "er", so I have my Shirt Card here to help me cause the Shirt Card says "er" and if you look at the Shirt Card we have four different ways to spell the "er" sound.

So, I want you to repeat after me.

Ready?

E-R says "er".

Good job, I hear you!

Like in the word "fern".

Keep going.

I-R says "er".

Good job, like in the word "shirt".

U-R says "er" like in the word "turn" and the last one, O-R says "er" like in the word "work".

Now, remember, one sound, they say "er", four different ways to spell that "er" sound and remember what I said yesterday, the O-R is not as common cause it does have a different sound that it says that is more common.

So, that just means there's only a few words that will have the O-R spelling but saying the "er" sound.

Okay?

So, let's practice blending these letters that I have up here.

So, boys and girls, help me blend them.

Ready?

Okay, C-L is a blend.

Good.

"Cl", helped me blend them, cl-er-k. What's my word?

"Clerk", good job.

"Clerk".

Awesome, like when you go to the store, we pay money to the clerk.

Good.

Let's look at my next word, help me blend it.

Ready?

Wh-er-th.

What's my word?

"Worth", good job, "worth".

Like, how much is that baseball card worth?

Awesome job, boys and girls.

Now, let's practice building a word.

So, I'm gonna say a word, I want you to help me segment the words so that we can build it together.

Ready?

Now, what if I want to spell the word "bird"?

Say it with me, "bird".

Okay, segment it with me.

Bu-er-d. "Bird".

Good job, there was three sounds, good.

Help me build it.

Bu is the B. Er, now which "er" is it?

And if you've been reading, we know bird has the "ir".

We had lots of bird words on our high frequency sentences yesterday.

Bu-er-d. D, what is it?

The D, awesome job!

How do we spell bird?

B-I-R-D, "bird".

Awesome job, boys and girls.

Now, all week we're gonna continue learning the "er" sound so let's go and practice reading now words with the "er".

Okay, today I don't have them written in red for you so help me blend and read these words together.

Ready?

Okay.

Sk, "skirt".

Good.

"Serve, burn, fir, worse, stern, burst, swirl, curve, word, girl" and "worth".

There's that word again.

Help me read my sentence.

Now, ready?

"The girl handed the clerk bills from her purse."

Good reading, boys and girls.

Now, let's practice our sentence dictation.

This is where I'm gonna say a sentence and I want you to write it.

Ready?

Here's my sentence.

"Shirley was first to twirl."

Five words.

"Shirley was first to twirl."

Okay, let's write it.

Check your sentence with mine.

Ready?

First word was "Shirley" and that's a name.

"Sh", here's my S-H, "er" and that "er" was the I-R, "Shirley".

Good.

"Shirley was the first", here's my "er", "first to twirl."

T-wuh, there's my blend, er-l, I-R. How did you do, boys and girls?

Awesome.

"Shirley was the first to twirl."

Awesome job, boys and girls.

Okay, are you guys ready to go into our high frequency words?

Awesome, let me pull my chart back.

Okay, remember, oh, and the wrong way, high frequency words are words that we see most often so it's important for us to know how to read and write them automatically.

All week we have 10 words, everyday we're gonna focus on two words, so here are our two words that we're gonna focus on today.

The word "found" and "building".

Help me read and spell them.

Ready?

First word, "found".

Awesome, help me read it again, "found".

Help me spell it, F-O-U-N-D, "found".

Good job.

Next word, "building".

Help me read it, "building".

Good job.

Help me spell it.

B-U-I-L-D-I-N-G, "building", there's that inflectional ending, "ing", that we are gonna be learning in just a bit, "building".

Now, I have two sentences for us.

I want you to help me read these two sentences and try to figure out which one of my two high frequency words that we are learning today will go into my sentence.

Ready?

Help me read the first sentence.

First sentence says, "Ken ran up the steps in the" mm?

Hm, are you using your context clues?

Use those clues, if he's running up and there are steps where is he?

Let's read the second sentence and see if we can figure out which word goes in this sentence.

"I" mm "Beth's coat."

Oh, I hear you!

I heard you guys say, "I found Beth's coat."

Awesome job, "found".

So, that must mean "building" goes in the first sentence, "Ken ran up the steps in the building."

Good job.

Let's practice reading all of our high-frequency words so that we can read them automatically.

We're gonna start with the two that we learned today.

Ready?

"Building, found, from, Saturday, thought, today, toward, watch, animal" and "away".

Awesome job, boys and girls.

Hey, now we're going to move into our inflectional endings.

That's gonna be our structural analysis focus this week.

Now, instructional inflectional endings are what we add to the end and we've learned this already, boys and girls, so this is gonna be a review skill for us and we learned a couple of rules, right?

We know that we can add an S to a verb when the subject is singular, when a verb ends with a T-H, C-H, S-H, S, double S, X or O, we add a E-S.

When we add an E-D that means the verb is happening in the past.

When we add an I-N-G that means the verb is happening right now and with those inflectional endings or what I call "My Rules", right?

So, if there's a short vowel before the last consonant we double it, but we call it, we double the consonant.

If there's an E we drop the E before we add the ending and if there's a Y we change it to an I and we add E-S.

So, let's look at our words quickly.

Ready?

Here's my word "keep".

If I want to add the S it just becomes "keeps", you're right.

Now, how about "watch"?

You see how there's a C-H?

Good, we add the E-S, "watches".

Now, how about "grab"?

Do you see "grab"?

There's a A, this is "ah", what's that rule?

We need to double the consonant before adding I-N-G, "grab-bing", so look how it's spelled "grabbing" with that double consonant.

And then, if I have "race", remember, "race" has that E, what do I do when I want to add E-D?

I need to drop it and then I can add the E-D, "raced".

Help me read it, "raced".

And then the last one, "hurry" plus the S. There's that Y, change the Y to an I and add I and then add E-S. How did you do?

Awesome.

Good job, boys and girls.

Don't forget to come back so that we can continue our learning with inflectional endings.

We're gonna leave you with my message and it is "Throw kindness around like confetti!"

Remember that book that I talked about earlier today?

Right, we want to fill each other's buckets, throw kindness around like confetti, give everybody a compliment, be kind to everyone and boys and girls, I hope to see you tomorrow.

Bye-bye.
