Did you know that today was St. Patrick's day?

I know, I forgot too.

It's a good thing my good friend, Mrs. Hammock reminded me, so I have my green on, do you have your green on?

Awesome, did you find the leprechaun's pot of gold ?

No, I know I was looking too.

Did you trap any leprechauns?

No, I didn't find any too.

Oh, they are sneaky, aren't they?

How are you guys, boys and girls?

Are you ready to start learning today?

Awesome, My name is Mrs. Vang I'm so excited that you're here with me so that we can become amazing readers and writers.

Okay, so I have another favorite book from my daughter's book collection to share with you guys.

And I actually love this book.

This is a book called, "Ms. Nelson is Missing."

Have you read this book?

I love this book because Ms. Nelson is so nice, but the boys and girls in her classroom are so rude and disrespectful until one day she goes missing and they get a new substitute and it's Ms. Layola Swamp and she is not like Ms. Nelson at all.

And so the boys and girls go looking for Ms. Nelson, will she ever come back?

I don't know, you're gonna have to read to find out so you can see if you can find this book on the Sora app or at your County library.

See if you'll enjoy this book as much as I do.

Okay, now, speaking of Sora, let's see which school came in in our top five countdown for checking out books on the Sora app to read them last week.

Are you ready?

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

Fingers crossed, ready coming in at number three is Heaton, Heaton Elementary.

Awesome job Heaton.

You guys were number one last week but you are still on our top countdown.

That means you're still doing an amazing job checking out those books and reading.

And you know what I haven't seen up in our countdown any middle school or high school.

So, make sure if you have older brothers, sister, make sure that you're telling them to check out books to read 'cause remember the more we read, your right the stronger we make our brain, the stronger we make our brain the smarter we become.

Okay, now, boys and girls, again, I still haven't seen letters from you guys.

I don't know what you're learning or what you're reading.

I would love to get letters from you guys.

So, and if you write to me and tell me all that you're learning and your favorite books, I will send you some of these, one of these fun activity books.

So, do you see that just below, right there.

That's where you write to me so that I can get it here in our PBS classroom, or you can email it to me, okay?

I can't wait to get your letter to see what you are reading úand what you're learning in your class.

Okay, are you guys ready to get started with the lesson today?

Awesome job, okay, what do we start with?

That's right, we train our ear.

So turn your listening ears up 'cause remember we need to hear sound so that we can read sound so that we can write sound, okay?

So today we're gonna be practicing some segmentation and that's where I'm gonna say a word.

You just segment them or break them apart and tell me how many sounds you hear.

Are you ready?

Okay, first word.

Okay, first word is hoist, hoist.

How many sounds?

Did you segment it?

/h/ that's one, /o/ /i/ /s/ /t/ How many sounds?

Four sounds, good job.

Okay, next word.

Voice, say it, voice.

Segment it is slowly if you need to, ready?

/v/ /oi/ /ce/ Ooh, how many sounds?

Three sounds in voice, good, okay.

Last word, ready?

Enjoy, this is a tricky one, enjoy.

Did you see it?

'Cause it's tricky because it's enjoy, it's two syllables.

But how many sounds in the word enjoy?

Let's segment and check, ready?

/e/ /n/ /j/ /oy/ How many sounds, four sounds.

How did you do?

Oh, I see, thumbs up.

Good job, boys and girls.

Now, remember what sound were you?

What vowel sound did you hear?

The /oi/ sound, you're right.

Remember, this week we are learning the /oi/ sound.

Which is what we call it diphthong, okay?

Last week we learned the /oy/, which is another diphthong.

So this week, /oy/, and I have my boy card here to help us can be spelled two different ways.

The O-I, and the O-Y.

So help me say that again.

O-I says, oi, O-Y says, oy.

Good reading, remember the, O-I, is usually spell O-I if we hear it in the beginning or the middle of a word that line in front of the O-Y means we here it.

I mean, not here, but when we spell it it's usually at the end of a word, okay?

So, I have some letters here, help me blend them together, ready?

This one says, /r/ /oy/ /al/ Oh, there's that /al/ that we were learning yesterday in our structural analysis, so, royal.

What's my word?

Royal, and I know what you're thinking.

You're saying Mrs. Vang, you just said, if we hear that /oy/ that's spelled with the O-Y it goes at the end of the word and you are correct.

Remember, most of the time they do, but you know what?

In this case, if we were to divide it into syllables /roy/ will be one syllable.

So it really is at the end of a word but not out of word, but at the syllable part.

So, roy-al, what's my word?

Royal, you see that?

I know that was a tricky one.

So remember when you see the, O- Y in the middle it usually belongs to the first syllable 'cause it's gonna end it, okay.

Now, let's look at the next set of letters.

Let's blend them together, ready?

This says good, there was that beginning blend, /br/ /oi/ /l/ What's my word?

Broil, good job, ,ow did you do?

Broil, good job.

Okay, now, now let's build a word together, ready?

Let's see if you guys can build this word.

Now, if you need to segment it to hear the sound, make sure you're segmenting.

Ready, let's spell the word bellboy.

Oh, that's another tricky one.

'Cause I asked two syllables.

Did you hear that, bell boy, two syllables.

So, because it has two syllables, let's segment the first syllable first.

The first syllable is /b/ /e/ /ll/ bell.

Oh, we noticed, well bell, how do we spell it?

/b/ /e/ good.

B-E, bell, /ll/.

And I know because that says, /e/, I need, good job.

I hear you, we need a double L, bell.

Good job, now, what's was my next syllable, boy.

Bell boy, how do we spell boy?

/b/ good and /oy/ at the end.

O- Y, good job.

Put the two words together.

How do I spell bellboy?

B-E-L-L-B-O-Y, bellboy.

How did you do, good job.

You guys are doing such a good job Spelling those words with two syllables.

Okay, now, let's go and practice sorting words now.

So I have some words for us to read and we're gonna sort them according to how they're spelled.

Now, I want you to read and listen to them carefully.

'Cause you remember, if you hear that /oy/ in the beginning or in the middle it's usually spelled with a O-I, you're right.

And if we here the /oy/ at the end it's usually spelled with the, O-Y good.

Ready, help me read.

Point, oh, there's that /oi/ What do we hear in the middle?

So it's the, O-I, good job, point.

Next word, toy, /oy/ at the end.

O-Y, good job.

Okay, let's keep going.

Foil, /oi/ in the middle.

O-I, good job.

Okay, let's keep going.

Joy, /oy/ at the end.

O-Y, good job.

Next word, noise.

Good, where did you hear the /oi/?

In the middle, spelled with the, O-I, good.

Keep going, loyal.

There's that word again with that /oy/ it's in the middle, but I remember, loyal, two syllables.

So it has that /oy/, cause it finishes that last syllable.

Loyal, next word, choice.

Good, O-I, says /oi/ in the middle.

Moist, good, that's the word that we blended before.

O-I in the middle.

Boy, /oy/ at the end.

Good and last word, decoy, another two syllable words.

Decoy, good job with the /oy/ at the end.

How did you do?

Thumbs up, good job I see you.

Good job boys and girls.

Okay, now let's go and practice our high frequency words.

So let me move my chart around so that you can see our high frequency words.

Now remember high frequency words are words that shows up most frequently when we are reading and writing.

So it's important to know how to read and write them automatically.

Today, we have two words that we're gonna focus on.

I want you to help me read and spell them.

Are you ready?

Okay, first word, brought.

Good, help me read it again, brought.

Help me spell it, B-R-O-U-G-H-T, brought, good job.

Next word, love, good.

Read it again, love.

Ready, spell it, L-O-V-E, Love, good job.

And I love that word good.

Now, let's read my sentences.

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

Are you ready?

Okay, first sentence says I hmm my family.

Next sentence, my mom hmm a pie to grandpa.

Are you using those contexts clues?

Good, I something my family, I what?

Oh, I hear you, good job.

I love my family.

I do, do you love your family?

Oh, I see a lot of yes, good.

So that must mean brought goes in the second sentence.

My mom brought a pie to grandpa.

Does that make sense?

Yes, awesome job boys and girls.

Now let's practice reading our high-frequency words that we are learning all week.

We're gonna start with the two words that we learned today, ready?

Love, brought, else, happy, I'll, maybe, laugh, several, busy, and please.

Now, remember, if any of these words are tricky for you make sure you're writing them down so that you can practice.

And as you're reading, make sure you're checking to see if you can find them in your books.

Okay, let's quickly go into our structural analysis.

Remember we're working with a consonant plus /le/ /el/ /al/ syllable.

So, remember that /el/ the /le/ and the /el/ all say /al/ So when you see a word with them, you're just gonna take that consonant, keep it together.

So here's my word.

I see the /le/, I'm gonna keep the constant together.

I'm gonna divide it.

Now I can read my word and remember that /a/ by itself, that's what we call open syllable it's gonna say the long vowel, so it's gonna say, /la/ this one says /b/ /el/, put it together, label.

How did you do?

Good, let's look at my next word.

If you don't know how to read.

I see the /al/ that's gonna say, /al/, keep the constant together, break it apart O by itself open, vowel, /lo/ /cal/, what's it, local.

How did you do, good job, boys and girls.

You guys are doing such a good job reading along with me and practicing.

I know how strong your brains are getting 'cause remember the stronger we make our brain the smarter we get.

Boys and girls, make sure you come back and join me tomorrow so that we can continue our learning so we can become amazing readers and writers.

I hope you have a great St. Patrick's day and I'll see you here tomorrow, bye-bye.
