My name is Mrs.Vang.

I'm so excited to have you join me so that we can become amazing readers and writers.

Now I love this part of the lesson because I get to share another favorite book.

And remember all week our books have been focused on kindness.

This, again, one of my favorite books and I know I say that a lot but I do have lots of favorite books that I love to read.

This is a book called the Invisible Boy by Trudy Ludwig.

Illustrated by Patrice Barton.

Now, in this book I want you to meet Brian.

Brian is the invisible boy.

Because no one ever seems to notice him.

Or think to include him in their group game or parties until one day there's a new boy who arrives and I love this book boys and girls because this book shows how that new boy shows him kindness and starts including him into all of their games and everything that they're doing.

So I love this book because it shows how a small act of kindness can really help children, right?

So if you want to read more about the invisible boy, you can check it out on Sora or check it out at your county library.

So, speaking of Sora, let's see which school came in at our number two spot in our countdown.

Are you ready?

Let's see which school in Fresno Unified has been checking out books to read.

Coming in at number two is Turner.

Awesome job Turner.

Good job checking out those books and reading so that you can make your brain super strong and super smart.

Awesome job.

Okay, now don't forget if you want to recommend books for me to share with everybody or recommend or tell me what you've been learning, make sure you write to me here at the studio.

Use the address the you see below and write to me.

You can also email me all things that you're learning or if you wanna share a book so that I can share with everybody.

And I will send you one of these fun activity books when I get your letter.

So I can't wait to get your letter boys and girls.

Now, are we ready to get started with our lesson for today?

Awesome.

We're going to start with, that's right.

Our listening ears.

So make sure you get that listening ears.

Turn them up.

We're gonna play a game called stretch it out.

We're going to practice our segmentation today.

So this is where I'm gonna say a word, your job is to segment it.

Which just means stretch it out.

Ready?

Okay, here's my first word.

Chirp, say it with me.

Chirp, let's stretch it out.

Ch-ir-p chirp.

How many sounds was that?

Three sounds.

Awesome job boys and girls.

Okay, here's the next word.

Sir, sir.

And another way of stretching it out is by using your hands and pretending you have a rubber band on your hand.

Practice with me.

Ready, sir.

Now segment it.

S-ir, sir, how many sounds?

Two sounds.

Awesome job boys and girls.

Last word, ready?

Skirt, say it with me.

Skirt.

Another way boys and girls to sound out or what we call segment is by stretching it from our mouth.

I like to pull it right from my mouth, ready?

Help me segment the word skirt.

S-k-ir-t, skirt.

How many sounds did you hear in that word?

Four sounds, awesome job boys and girls.

Okay, your ears are all warmed up.

Now let's go and practice and learn our sound of the week.

Now this week we have been focusing on the R controlled vowel sound.

And the sound that we're practicing this week is the er sound.

So I have my shirt card here to help us.

Cause sh, the shirt card says er.

And there are four different ways (acoustic music begins) that we can spell the er sound.

So help me say it, help me say it.

Ready?

E-R says er.

Good job.

Let me fix that.

I-R says ir.

Good job.

U-R says ur.

And O-R says er.

Good job, four different ways to spell the er sound.

Now remember that O-R does make a different sound and we're gonna learn that sound next week.

So it's not as common.

That means there's just a few words that has that er sound but spelled with a O-R. Now, let's practice blending some of these letters together.

Ready?

Help me blend them.

This says m-er.

Do you remember what the g-e says?

juh, good job I heard you juh.

It's what we call the soft g because it makes the juh sound.

Blend it again with me.

M-er-ge, merge.

And merge just means putting it together like we're merging it right?

M-er-ge, merge.

Good reading, boys and girls.

Now, let's read the next set of letters.

Ready?

Help me blend it together.

W, good.

And the O-R says er, good.

W-or-ld.

What's my word?

World.

That's a tricky one.

There's that blend at the end.

The L-D, ld at the end.

World, good job boys and girls.

Now, let's practice building some words.

Ready?

I'm gonna say it just like how we practice our segmenting game.

We're gonna say it, segment and build the words.

Ready?

First word is girl.

And this is a high frequency word.

And this is a word that I see a lot of my boys and girls spelling incorrectly.

Segment it with me, ready?

G-ir-l.

Okay, ready?

First word, or I'm sorry, first sound is the g and we spell with a g. Good job, g-ir.

Now, how would I spell the ir sound?

It's with a ir, good job.

Be very careful, a lot of my boys and girls always put the r first.

But if you remember the ir says ir, that's gonna help you know.

Girl has the ir.

Girl, and that's a l at the end.

L, g-i-r-l, girl.

Awesome job boys and girls.

Okay, now I have a story for us to read that's gonna have all these "er" sounds in them.

Okay?

Before we read, we're gonna practice our fluency.

Because when we read, we need to focus on our fluency.

And that just means we're gonna be reading accurately.

We're gonna be reading all the words correctly.

And don't forget if you don't read it correctly, go back and re-read it again and that's okay.

That's what we call self correction.

We're gonna practice our rate, which means not going too fast and not going too slow.

We're gonna practice our expression.

That means reading with feelings and using the punctuation that's gonna help you with that.

So that we don't sound like a robot when we're reading.

So make sure that when it's a period, we stop for a little bit.

There's a question mark, your intonation at the end rises a bit, and exclamation you're reading with that feeling.

So I have a story for us called Dog's Work.

Read it, let's read it together.

(soft music) - [Narrator] Dog's Work!

Some dogs can work in many places.

Their jobs are very special.

City dogs, this dog Ginger, has a job in the big city today.

She watches and lets the man know when he can step off the curb or turn right.

She keeps the man safe.

This dog, Buck, works in the city too.

Buck can smell things that police cannot.

He can find you if you are lost.

He can catch robbers that run away.

Country dogs.

This dos, Spur, is the first dog on the right.

Spur works in cold, snowy places in the country.

Today he pulls a sled with five other dogs.

Spur uses a great deal of force as he works and the sled moves quickly.

This dog with black and white fur is named Spot.

She works in the country.

Spot's owner raises a lot of sheep.

Spot herd the sheep so they go the right way and don't get lost.

Her job is important.

She can do what her owners can't.

- Did you find lots of words with that R control vowel spelling pattern?

I did.

Let's read them, ready?

First, has the good the ir.

The ir spelled with ir first.

Er spelled with er.

I found robbers, there's the er at the end.

Robbers, ginger, herds.

And or spelled with or, work and works.

And spur, remember that was his name.

And curb and turn.

And then there was three high frequency words.

Today, away and watch.

Awesome job boys and girls.

Now, let's go into our high frequency words.

Because if you notice there were three of those words in there.

And because remember high frequency words are words that we see most frequently.

And all week, we are gonna work with ten.

Every day we have been focusing on two.

So let's go and focus or learn the two for today.

Ready?

Our first word is the word thought.

Help me read it, thought.

Good job.

Help me spell it.

T-h-o-u-g-h-t, thought.

Good job boys and girls.

Next word is the word today.

Help me read it again, today.

Help me spell it.

T-o-d-a-y, today.

Okay I have two sentences for us.

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

Ready?

Help me read the first sentence.

It may rain mm.

Good, I see some of you guys shouting it out at me.

Good, next sentence help me read it.

Jill mm it was lunch time.

Okay, are you using your context clues?

Help me.

It may rain today, good job.

And it might rain today.

How about the next one?

Good, thought.

Jill thought it was lunch time.

Awesome jobs boys and girls.

Let's quickly practice reading all of our high frequency words, ready?

Today, thought, toward, watch, animal, away, building, found, from and Saturday.

Good job.

Now, we're gonna end it with our structural analysis.

Remember all week we have been focusing on inflectional endings.

And remember different ways, there's an S that we can add to these verbs.

Yes, if the word ends with a th, ch, sh, s, ss, x, or o. Ed means it happened in the past.

Ing means it's happening right now.

So I have a sentence for us.

I want you to try to figure out which one of these words will go into my sentence so that it will make sense, ready?

Says yesterday I mm on my little brother.

Now here are my choices.

Sneeze, sneezes, sneezed, sneezing.

Now, if you look at my sentence, there was a clue.

There was a context clue.

If it happened yesterday, that means it happened in the past.

So guess what I need to add.

An E-D you're right!

And don't forget sneeze has that e so before I add the e-d I need to drop it.

Good job.

Yesterday I sneezed on my little brother.

Awesome job boys and girls.

You guys are doing an awesome job.

Don't forget to come back and so that we can practice more.

I'm going to leave you off with my kindness message.

And it is if you want more kindness in the world, put it there.

So my challenge for you, how many random acts of kindness can you do today?

Boys and girls you guys are awesome.

I'll see you tomorrow.
