How are you guys this morning?

Oh, a little tired, I know boys and girls, but you know what?

I know you guys are gonna be paying attention and listening and so that you can make your brain, that right, super smart.

My name is Mrs. Vang.

I'm so excited that you're here with me so that we can become amazing readers and writers.

And now remember all week, I said I was gonna share some of my favorite books because some of you guys just got done celebrating, Read Across America.

And so today I wanted to share one of my books that my second graders loved reading.

Have you read one of these books?

These are what I call the Fly Guy books.

And this one's actually called "Fly Guy's Big Family".

Do you like reading these?

Oh, I hear you guys at home.

My second graders loved reading these books.

So I had all the Fly Guy books for them.

Here, which one have you read?

And which one is your favorite?

Oh, I hear you guys.

Good job.

These Fly Guy books are such, kind of I think fun and silly books to read.

So boys and girls, which one is your favorite Fly Guy book?

Now you can write to me boys and girls and let me know which one is your favorite one or which one you haven't read 'cause I have most of them in my library.

Now you can write to me here at the studio and I will see if I can find some of these of my Fly Guy books to share with you guys.

So boys and girls, when you write to me, don't forget, write to me using the address that you see below or you can and I, or email me and I'll send you one of these fun books.

Okay?

Our fun activity books.

Okay, boys and girls, awesome job.

Now I know you're wondering, you're like, "Well, Mrs. Vang, who came in number four in our top countdown?

I didn't forget boys and girls.

Okay, let's see if it's your school.

So the school coming in at number four, on this last week was, let's see.

Addams, awesome job.

Boys and girls, you guys are doing such a great job reading.

And I remember, remember Mrs. Wong's from Adams told me how much her second graders loved watching me and so awesome job Addams.

You guys are doing a great job reading and making your brain super smart.

Good job.

Okay, boys and girls.

Now, let's get ready for our, you're right, for our lesson so that our brains can become super smart and super strong.

Okay, so we're gonna start off with, that's right, training our ears, right?

Because remember we need to listen for sounds.

Okay.

And today we're going to practice some initial and final sound substitution, okay?

So listen carefully.

I'm gonna say some sounds, we're gonna substitute that sound, and then we're gonna make a new word, okay?

So I'm gonna use my red and yellow dot today to help us.

Are you ready?

Okay.

Let's listen to my sounds.

What's my word, if I said "ow" (vocalizing) What's my word?

"Owl", good job.

Now what happens if I change the "l" to a "t" at the end?

(vocalizing) What's my new word?

"Out", good job.

You see how we went from owl to out?

Good listening.

Okay, let's practice another one.

What if I said these sounds?

Ready?

(vocalizing) What's my word?

"Frown", good job, frown.

Now what if I changed that "f" to a "b"?

Now make my new word, ready?

(vocalizing) What is it?

"Brown", great job boys and girls.

Okay, one last one.

Okay, listen to my sounds.

Blend it together.

Ready?

What's my word?

(vocalizing) What is it?

"Now", good job.

Now, what if I changed the "n" I'm going to change it to the "c".

What's my new sound, or what's my new word with the new "c" sound.

(vocalizing) What is it?

"Cow".

Good job, boys and girls.

You guys are doing such a good job substituting that sound and hearing the different words.

Okay, now let's go into our phonics and lesson.

What sound did you hear?

The "ow" sound, that's right.

This week, we are focused on the "ow" sound.

And so that is why I have my cow card up here to help me.

The cow car says "ow".

Okay, right.

Just like when you get hurt I'm going to grab my reading finger to help us blend and read the words together.

So this week we're learning the, good I hear you, the "ow" sound.

And "ow" sound has two different ways to spell the "ow" sound.

Help me spell and say it.

Ready?

O U says "ow", good job.

O W says "ow", good job.

And boys and girls, if you forget and you need extra help, write them down and say them three times.

O U says "ow", O U says "ow", O U says "ow".

Same thing for the O W. O W can say "ow", O W can say "ow", O W can say "ow".

And don't forget a couple of weeks ago, we learned the O W also says "o".

So if you're reading and it doesn't make sense, switch that sound.

Okay.

Now I have some letters here for us.

Help me blend these letters together.

Ready?

(vocalizing), good job.

What's my word?

"Count", good job.

Like, can you count to 100 really fast?

Oh, I know some of you guys can.

Good job.

Okay.

Let's look at an next set of letters.

Help me blend them, ready?

Good, O W says "ow".

(vocalizing) Good job.

What's my word?

"Owl", good job.

Have you ever seen an owl?

Oh, some of you guys have.

Good job, owl.

Okay.

Now let's practice building some more.

So now I'm going to say a word.

I want you guys to segment it and help me build the word.

Ready?

Now, if I wanted to spell the word South, South, South which is a direction, right?

Like my house is facing the South.

Segment if you need to.

(vocalizing) South.

Okay, what was the flat first sound?

The "s".

Good, how do I spell that?

With the S, good job.

And then, "ow".

Remember there are two ways to spell the "ow".

Is it O U or O W?

Let's try the O U.

Okay.

(vocalizing) What's that last sound?

Good job, it's a diagraph.

You're right.

T H South, does look right?

Yes.

Good.

Let's spell South.

S O U T H South.

Good job.

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

"Howl", okay segment if you need to.

(vocalizing) "Howl".

Oh, did you see that?

Some of you guys said it's sounds just like the owl sound.

I mean, or word you're right.

So if we already have owl up here, how would I spell "howl"?

Good job.

I just need to add the "h", which is the H to it and here's my new word "howl".

How did you do?

Awesome job.

Okay.

Now let's practice.

Let's put that in practice and practice reading some words with the "ow" sound.

Are you guys ready?

Okay, I didn't put them in red.

So let's see if you guys can read it, read it with me.

Ready?

Pound, ouch, ground, cow, plow, cloud, good.

Owl, there's the owl again, crown, mouse, and brown.

Good reading.

Okay, let's practice reading in a sentence.

"Can an owl," Oh, let's do that again.

"Can an owl make a loud howl?"

Can it?

Sometimes, all right?

Good job.

Did you see all those "ow" words in there?

Good.

Here's my "owl", "loud", "howl".

Good.

Okay.

You ready for your sentence dictation?

I'm going to say a sentence.

I want you to write it and then we'll check to see how you did.

Ready?

And you're right, It's going to have all of our "ow" sounds.

So let's see if you can spell them correctly.

Now here's my sentence.

The round, the round crown was found.

Five words.

The round crown was found.

Okay, ready?

What's my first word?

"The", good job.

"The round" there's that "ow" sound.

(vocalizing) "Round" and it's spelled with the O U.

How did you do?

"The round crown".

Did you see that?

You're right.

It was on my reading chart.

(vocalizing) And crown is the O W. "The round crown was found."

Sound it out with me.

(vocalizing) It's the O U.

"Found", good job.

There's that O U.

And boys and girls the more you read books and texts.

You'll see that a lot of your O W and O U you'll see how their spelled was certain words.

Okay.

Good job, boys and girls.

Okay.

Now today, we're going to go into our structural analysis and we're going to practice learning irregular plurals again.

So remember we learned this skill a couple of weeks ago, and we learned that plural nouns.

So we know plural nouns are words that means more than one right?

Irregular plural nouns are when they don't necessarily follow the rules.

That's what I like to call them because we know we usually add S or E S to make a noun plural, but irregular plural nouns, they don't follow that rule.

So one of the rule that we're going to focus on this week is that some nouns change completely.

Like help me say it, "man".

We don't say "mans", nope.

One man, many men.

You're right.

One woman, many?

A woman, many women.

Good job.

One child, many?

Children.

Do you see how the plural noun changes completely?

But you need to know that children means more than one as you're reading.

Okay, let's keep going.

One mouse, many?

Good job, I hear you.

Many mice.

One goose, many?

Geese, good job.

One foot, many feet.

And one tooth, many teeth.

Good job.

Now the other irregular plural noun that rule is some nouns stay the same.

So like one fish, many fish.

You see how it didn't change?

One sheep, many sheep.

You see that?

One deer, many deer.

and one moose, good.

Many moose.

But you see what I had to do?

I had to say many moose, or I can say two deer, and that word two, or many, that's what we call an adjective.

And your adjectives usually tells you if it's singular or plural in the sentence.

So boys and girls all week, we're going to continue focusing on each irregular plural nouns, so that when you read or write, you'll know how to read, and then that picture in your mind will make sense.

And then when you write, you'll know how to write them correctly.

Boys and girls, you guys are doing such a good job.

And the week let's focus on some growth mindset quotes.

So I'm gonna leave you off today with a growth mindset I'll quote this.

It says, "I can do hard things."

So when you feel like you're frustrated and if things are too hard to tell yourself I can do hard things.

Let me hear you.

Awesome job.

You guys can do hard things.

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