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

I'm gonna share another one of my favorite books with you.

And remember, this week we are focused on kindness.

So this is a book called, "Kindness Is Cooler, Mrs.

Ruler."

And in this book some kids get into trouble by being disrespectful.

So Mrs.

Ruler gives them a challenge.

They have to perform 10 act of random, or 10 random act of kindness.

And guess what?

Pretty soon the whole class wants to do it too, and they perform lots of random act of kindness.

So, what can you do today to be kind to someone else?

If you wanna read this book you can check for it on SORA or at your County library.

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

So today we're gonna reveal the school that came in number three.

And the school that came in at number three is, Heaton.

Awesome job, Heaton.

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

Cause remember boys and girls, the more you read, the stronger we make our brain, the stronger our brain becomes, the smarter we become.

So, boys and girls, if you have books that you want me to share with everybody, make sure you're writing to me here at the studio.

Use the address below, tell me what books I can share with all the other boys and girls.

Or if you just wanna write to tell me how you're doing, make sure you're writing.

That's right, use the address below.

Or you can email me and, I'll send you one of these fun activity books when I get your letter.

So I can't wait to get letters from you guys.

Okay, are you guys ready?

Awesome, let's get started with our learning today.

We always start with?

That's right, chaining our ears.

So make sure that you turn your listening ears up so that you are listening.

Okay, we're gonna play today, we're gonna play a game today called, what's my new word?

And we're gonna focus on our phony substitution.

So this is where I'm gonna say a word, we're gonna substitute it with a new sound, and then we're gonna blend it and make a new word.

Are you ready?

Awesome, so I'm gonna use my red and yellow dots here to help us, okay?

So, watch how I do this first one.

So if I say the word fur, say it with me, fur.

Let's segment it.

F - UR, two sounds, fur.

Now, what if I changed the F, and put a H?

Now, what's my new word?

H-er, her, her?

How did you do?

Awesome, let's continue.

Okay, next word.

Ready?

Bird.

Bird.

Help me segment it.

B-i-rd, threes sounds.

Now, what if I changed the B- to a TH?

Say it, TH.

Okay, let's spell it.

TH-I-RD.

What's my new word?

Third, good job, third.

You guys are getting good at this.

Okay, last word.

Ready?

Say dirt.

Say dirt.

Segment it with me.

D-I-RT, dirt.

Okay, I'm gonna substitute that D- for a H. Blend it with me.

H-U-RT.

What's my new word?

Hurt.

Awesome job, boys and girls, that was a tricky one.

You guys are doing an awesome job using those listening skills.

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

Remember, all week we are focused on the our control vowel, -er.

We're gonna work with the shirt card cause the shirt card says /a/.

And if you look at my shirt card, you'll notice we have four different spelling pattern for the /a/ sound.

So help me say it, ready?

Repeat after me.

ER says -A, like in?

Fern, good job.

IR says A, like in?

Shirt, good.

And you -UR says, A, as in turn.

And remember this one is not as common, but -O-R says, A, like in work.

Remember O-R has a different spelling that may sound, that will learn next week.

So, let's look at the letters that I have up here.

Help me blend these letters together, ready?

P-UR-SE.

Purse, good job.

Did you notice there was a silent E there, boys and girls?

Silent -E doesn't do anything, but we do need it with us.

I mean, do you need it when we spell the word purse?

Good job, boys and girls.

Okay, how about the next set of letters?

Help me blend them together.

Ready?

Good, SH is a diagraph.

SH-I-RT, what is it?

Shirt, good job.

Like, what color shirt are you wearing today?

Oh, I hear you guys shouting that color for me, good job.

Now, let's practice building some words, okay?

I'm gonna say a word, you can segment it if you need to, to help me build the word.

I'm gonna give you a harder word today, ready?

Here's the word, birthday.

Cause I know lots of boys and girls who love to spell that word birthday.

And if you notice, birthday is two syllables.

So let's break it apart into the syllables, right?

First syllable birth.

Ready?

Birth.

Let's spell that first, ready?

B- as the B, good.

B-IR, ER.

Hm, which one are we going to use?

Birth, let's try the -E-R.

Berth, -TH, -TH, what do we hear?

TH, berth.

Uh oh, does that look right?

No, that doesn't look right.

Let's try that -IR.

B-IR-TH, birth.

Yes, awesome job.

So here's the first syllable, birth.

Second syllable, day.

Help me spell day.

D, good, that's our D. And A, did you remember?

It's that long A, but how do we spell it?

With a A-Y, good job, boys and girls.

Let's look at my word, birthday.

Spell it with me, B-I-R-T-H-D-A-Y, birthday.

Oops, good job, boys and girls.

Now, let's practice sorting words with the /a/ sound.

So you're gonna help me read and we're gonna sort them into the four different spelling pattern.

Are you ready?

Okay, help me read.

Clerk, has the -ER, good job.

I'm gonna put it with my -ER spelling.

Work has the OR, remember there's only a few words that has the -OR that says /a/.

First, good.

And churn, I see -UR, good.

Like long ago they churn butter.

Herd, good job.

Herd with the -ER that says /a/.

Next word, skirt, good.

IR with skirt.

Worse, good.

That is a -OR that says /a/.

Help me read the next word, burst, good job.

That -UR says A.

Next word.

Stir, good.

Here's a -IR with the A at the end of a word, did you see that?

Stir.

And last word, hurt, good job.

Hurt has the -UR right in the middle.

How did you do?

Awesome job, boys and girls.

Now, let's go and practice our high-frequency words.

So let me grab my chart.

Remember, high frequency words are words that we read and write most, what call our high frequency words it's what we read and write most frequently.

All week we have 10 words, every day we're gonna focus on two.

So the two words that we're gonna focus today are the words "from" and "Saturday."

Help me read and write them, ready?

From, good job.

Help me spell it.

F-R-O-M, from, good job.

Next word, Saturday.

Good job.

Read it with me again.

Saturday.

Let's spell it.

S, oh don't say s, it's a capital S. Say it with me, capital S, A-T-U-R-D-A-Y, Saturday.

My favorite day of the week.

And it's a capital because it's a proper noun, because it names a day of the week, Saturday.

So make sure when you are writing to put that capital S because it's a proper noun.

Okay, now I have two sentences for us.

Help me try to figure out which one of these two words will go into my sentence so that it'll make sense.

You ready?

Okay, let's start with the first sentence.

The note is, Joan.

Oh, I see some of you guys using your context clues.

If you got the word, good job.

Help me read the second sentence.

The game is on (makes sound) Oh, I hear you guys shouting it out, awesome.

The note is from Joan, good job.

So that must mean that, the game is on Saturday.

Awesome job, boys and girls.

Let's practice reading all of our words.

And we'll start with the two that we learned today, ready?

From, Saturday, thought, today, toward, watch, animal, away, building and found.

Awesome job, boys and girls.

Make sure you guys are reading those words when you come across them in books.

Now, let's go into our structural analysis skill lesson for the week.

In this week we were working on inflectional endings.

And we've learned this already, so it's a review skill for us.

Remember, inflectional endings are what we put at the end of a word to change its meaning.

We can put an S when the subject is singular, we put an -ES when the verb ends with a -TH -CH -SH, -S, -SS -X, or -O.

We add an -ED at the end to make it mean that it happened in the past.

And we add an -ING to make it mean that it's happening right now.

Now, remember, there's also a couple of rules when we are adding these endings.

We have the, if the verb ends with a Y, we change the Y to an I, and then we add -ES.

If there's a short vowel in the consonant, we always double the consonant.

And there's the E, we drop it.

So let's read my words here, ready?

Trip, trips, tripping, you see there's that double consonant, and tripped, still needing that double consonant.

Let's try with the word cry, ready?

Cry, cries.

That's right, there was a Y, so we change it to an I and add -ES.

Crying, and then cried, we changed it to, the Y to an I and we add -ED, still following those rules.

So boys and girls, as you're reading and writing, use these clues to help you when or what the verb is telling you, and that's why we learn these inflectional endings.

You guys are doing such a good job, boys and girls, don't forget to come back next week so that we can continue all of our learning.

I'm gonna leave you with my kindness message of the week, and it says, everywhere you go leave a glitter trail of kindness behind you.

Right, how many people can you be kind to today?

Boys and girls, think about one way that you can be kind to each other.

I'll see you back here tomorrow, have a great day, bye-bye.
