Welcome back.
My name is Mrs. Vang.
I'm so excited to have you join me so that we can become amazing readers and writers.
Now, speaking of being an amazing reader, I have another book to share with you guys.
Remember, all week we're gonna be focusing on biographies of African-Americans that made or contributed to our U.S. history because of Black History month.
Today, I have a book called "Who Was Rosa Parks?"
Do you know who Rosa Parks is?
Some of you have heard of her, you're right.
So, Rosa Parks was a person who took a stand by sitting on a bus.
So, if you want to read more about Rosa Parks make sure you check out this chapter book about Rosa Parks to learn all about what Rosa Parks did to contribute to the civil rights movement.
Now, you can try to find this book on Sora or at your Fresno County library.
Now, speaking of Sora, let's go and see which school made it into our top countdown.
So, yesterday, we said Olmos came in at number five.
Today, coming in number four is let's see, Birney.
Awesome job Birney!
You guys are doing an amazing job checking out books and reading!
Good job!
Now, don't forget boys and girls, if you want to tell me books that you're reading, I would love to hear what you're reading and learning.
Make sure to send your letters to me here at our PBS classroom studio.
Use the address below, or you can email me and I'll send you one of these fun activity books to make you guys more amazing readers and writers.
So, and don't forget boys and girls, to put your addresses so I can send you these books.
Now, are you ready for us to make our brain stronger?
Oh, awesome job!
Let's get started boys and girls.
We're gonna start off by training our ears.
You're right.
So, we're gonna be playing a game today called, "What's My New Word?"
We're gonna be working on some phoning substitution.
So, I'm gonna use my red and yellow dots to help us.
Ready?
I'm gonna say a word or some sounds, we're gonna blend it into a word, and then we're gonna substitute the first sound, and then we're gonna come up with a new word.
Are you ready?
Okay.
Let's start off with the word far.
Far.
Segment it with me.
We're gonna segment, ready?
(Mrs. Vang makes an F sound) Let me see.
There it goes.
(Mrs. Vang makes an F sound) (Mrs. Vang makes an Ar sound) Far, good job!
Now, take the (makes F sound) and change it to a (makes a C or K sound).
What's my new word?
Car.
Good job boys and girls!
Car.
Okay.
You guys ready for the next one?
Awesome!
What if I said the word more?
More.
Segment it for me.
Ready?
Oops, (makes M sound).
(Mrs. Vang makes an OR sound) More, good job.
Now, I'm gonna substitute that (makes M sound) for the (makes SH sound) sound.
Blend it together now.
Shore.
What's my new word?
Shore, good job boys and girls.
Okay, last one.
Say the word start.
Start, segmented with me.
(Mrs. Vang makes an S sound) (Mrs. Vang makes a T sound) (Mrs. Vang makes an AR sound) (Mrs. Vang makes a T sound) Oh, barely getting it in there.
Four sounds.
Start.
Good.
Change the (makes ST sound).
(Mrs. Vang makes an ST sound) So, I'm going to take the (makes the ST sound) and change it to the (makes D sound).
What's my new word?
(makes D sound) (makes ART sound) Dart, good job boys and girls!
Awesome job!
Okay, now, let's go into our sound of the week.
We're gonna go into our phonics lesson.
Remember, all week we're gonna be learning the AR control vowel pattern of the sound OR and R. Last week we learned the ER sound.
This week we're gonna continue learning the AR control vowel spelling pattern with the OR the AR sound.
So, if you look, I'm using my corn card and the corn card says, or.
And, there are three different ways that I can spell that OR sound.
So, help me spell it and say it boys and girls.
We can say, O-R says or.
O-A-R says oar.
O-R-E says ore. Good job.
And, we're also learning that star card.
And, that star card says ar.
So, the spelling pattern is A-R. A-R says ar.
Okay, so those are our two spelling sound or spelling pattern that we're gonna be learning this week with the AR control vowel.
The OR sound and the AR sound.
So, let's look at the letters that I have on my chart.
Help me blend them together.
Ready?
S-M is my?
Blend and I'm gonna, my beginning blend.
We're gonna say (makes SM sound).
Here's my A-R and A-R says ar.
(Mrs. Vang makes a T sound) Blend it together.
Smart.
What's my word?
Smart, awesome job!
Like you are so smart!
Good job!
Now, let's look at my next set of letters.
Ready?
(makes P sound) O-R, remember O-R says or, make that OR sound.
(Mrs. Vang makes a P sound) (Mrs. Vang makes an OR sound) C-H says ch.
Porch.
What's my word?
Porch, good job boys and girls, porch.
Now, what if I wanted to build a word?
Help me build a word.
I want to build the word snore.
Can you say it?
Snore?
Good, like I don't like it when there's a loud snore at night.
I can't sleep, right?
Snore.
If you need to, segment it out.
(Mrs. Vang makes an SN sound) (Mrs. Vang makes an OR sound) What's the first two sounds you hear?
The (makes SN sound) and that is a blend, your right.
That's the S-N. (makes SN sound) (Mrs. Vang makes an OR sound) Now, the or is that the end.
So, I can either put the O-A-R or the O-R-E.
Which one do you think it is?
Snore is the O-R-E, good job.
Snore, good job spelling snore.
Now, what if I want to spell the word car.
Car, segment if you need it.
Car.
First sound was the (makes C or K sound).
That's my C. (makes the AR sound) What makes that AR sound?
Good job.
The A-R.
Spell car for me.
C-A-R, car.
Good job, boys and girls.
Okay, now, let's go and practice reading some words with the OR and the AR sound, ready?
Okay.
Score.
Jar.
Fork.
Roar.
How are you doing?
I didn't write them in red this time for you.
Ready, let's keep going.
Barn.
Sport.
Harm.
Or.
Or by itself, that's still a word.
Storm.
Torch.
Sharp.
And, car.
How did you do?
Awesome!
Let's read my sentence, ready?
Don put a dark mark on the chart for me.
Good job boys and girls!
Now, let's go into our sentence dictation, ready?
I'm gonna say a word.
I want you to write the words to my sentence and then we'll check to see how you did.
Here's my sentence.
She wore a dark scarf.
Five words.
Say that again with me.
She wore a dark scarf.
Five words, ready?
Let's write it.
She, capital S beginning of our sentence, wore, here's that or, it's that O-R-E. How did you do?
Good, she wore a dark, (Mrs. Vang makes a D sound) (Mrs. Vang makes an AR sound) has that A-R, good.
And, scarf.
(Mrs. Vang makes an S sound) (Mrs. Vang makes a C or K sound) (makes an AR sound) Here's that A-R. Scarf.
Let's read it.
She wore a dark scarf.
How did you do?
Awesome job boys and girls!
Okay, now, let's go and practice our high-frequency words.
Let me pull my chart back.
And remember, high-frequency words are words that show up most often when we are reading.
And, it's important to know these words automatically, so that we don't have to use all that brain power to sound it out.
All week we have 10 words.
Everyday we're gonna focus on two.
So today, we're gonna focus on the word together and carry.
Ooh, and let me fix this a little bit.
Okay?
Help me read and spell the words together.
Ready?
First word, together.
Ready?
Spell it with me.
T-O-G-E-T-R. Oh, let's say that again, that was not an R. Okay, let's go back.
Spell it again with me.
Ready?
T-O-G-E-T-H-E-R, together.
There we go.
Next word is carry.
Help me read it, carry.
Help me spell it.
C-A-R-R-Y, carry, good job.
Now, let's read my two sentences and try to figure out which one of these two words will go into my sentence.
Ready?
Pat and Sam ate lunch (makes M sound).
Oh, I hear you thinking, good.
Next sentence.
Help me read it.
Can I (makes M sound) the box?
Oh, I see you thinking, using those context clues.
Let's go back to the top one.
Pat and Sam ate lunch, good, together.
That makes sense.
Can I carry the box?
Awesome job boys and girls!
Let's practice reading all of our high-frequency words that we're gonna be learning all week.
Ready?
Together, carry, outside, warm, problem, ago, certain, everyone, heavy, and people.
Good job boys and girls.
Now, let's go into our structural analysis.
And this week boys and girls, we are gonna be learning irregular plurals.
Can you say that with me?
Irregular plurals.
Good job!
Now, a while ago, we already learned what a plural noun is.
A plural noun just means more than one.
So, we learned that to make a noun mean more than one, we add an S, sometimes we add an ES depending on what the word ends with.
Remember, if it ends with an S, or a double S, or an X, or a CH, or an SH, we put an ES.
Those are what we learned already.
Now, irregular plural nouns don't necessarily follow any of those rules.
The first one is if there's an F, we change it to a V and add ES, like leaf.
One leaf, many leaves.
One calf, many cow calves, good.
One wolf, many, what is it, wolves, good job!
One loaf, many loaves.
Good job boys and girls.
One knife, many knives.
You notice, we all changed the F to a V and then add ES.
Now, some nouns change completely.
One man, many men.
One woman, many women.
One child, many children.
One mouse, we don't say mouses, no.
We say many mice, good job.
One goose, many geese, you're right.
Okay, and then, did you know that some nouns stay the same?
They do.
One fish, many fish.
One sheep, many sheep.
One deer, you got it, many deer.
One moose, many moose, you're right.
So, we're gonna continue learning all about irregular plurals all week boys and girls.
So, don't forget to come back tomorrow.
I'm gonna end you with my quote of the day.
And, it comes to you from Serena Williams.
She says different is good.
So boys and girls, remember, just because you're different or you do things differently, doesn't mean it's bad.
Keep working hard 'cause you are doing an awesome job.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Have a great day.
Bye-bye.
