Welcome back.

Happy Tuesday!

Boys and girls, my name is Mrs. Vang.

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

I was just re-reading another book that Mrs. Martinez at Thomas Elementary recommended for me.

Remember, she's the librarian at that school, and she gave me lots of books to recommend just for you guys, and a lot of these books I haven't read, so I was reading it again, just so I can remember what it was about.

Now, this is a book called "One of Us" by Peggy Moss, illustrated by Penny Weber.

And this is a story about a little girl who moves to a new school, and she was trying to find, or she was moving around in a group of kids, trying to find which group she belongs to, until she finds that she belonged to a group where everybody was different, and that was the perfect group for her.

So have you been to a new school?

Do you guys remember how that feels like?

Oh, you do.

So this might be a great book for you to read.

Now, remember, you can see if this book is on Sora if you have the Sora app, or you can check it out at your county library, and again, Mrs. Martinez wants me to remind you guys, if you guys go to Fresno Unified, you can also check out books from your school library and pick them up.

So make sure you guys are reading.

Now, speaking of Sora, let's see which school is coming up in our top countdown.

So yesterday we revealed that Birney came in number five.

Coming in number four today is, are you guys ready?

Finger crossed, is it your school?

I don't know, we'll see.

Turner!

Awesome job, Turner!

You guys are doing a great job checking out those books and reading.

I'm so proud of you guys.

Awesome job.

Okay, boys and girls, now, I haven't received any letters from anyone yet, but remember, you can write to me here at the studio, and I'll send you one of these fun activity books.

So use the address that you see down below, or you can email me, and tell me what you're reading.

Tell me what you're learning.

Or if you just want to tell me a story, I would love that too.

And then I'll send you one of these fun activity books, all right?

Okay, boys and girls, I can't wait to see your letters, or get your letters so I can read them.

Okay, boys and girls, now, let's go into our lessons for today.

Today, we're gonna start off with, that's right, training our ears.

So let's get that listening ears, turn them up high!

We are gonna be playing a game with phoneme categorization, and we're gonna play which word doesn't belong.

So this is where I'm gonna say three words, one of the words doesn't have the same vowel sound, and you're gonna have to tell me which word doesn't have the same vowel sound.

Are you ready?

Okay, let's see if you guys are right.

Ready?

Here are my three words.

Tube, cake, soon.

Say that with me.

Tube, cake, soon.

Which one doesn't have the same vowel sound?

Cake, good.

Cake says A.

Tube says ooh, soon says ooh.

Good job.

Okay.

Next set of words.

Ready?

Could, should, time.

Oh, you guys got that fast, huh?

Could, should, time.

I hear you, time does not belong.

Time says I, could and should both say ooh.

Good job.

Okay, last set of sounds.

Ready?

Or last set of words.

Ready?

Neat, dune, food.

Did you get it?

Neat, dune, food.

Good job.

Neat says E, dune says ooh, food says ooh.

Good listening, boys and girls.

Listening for those ears.

Now, that's perfect, 'cause that's gonna take us straight into our phonics lesson of the week, and this week, we are focusing on the, well, we have two sounds, but today, we're just gonna focus on the spoon card.

Now, the spoon card says ooh.

Say that with me, ooh.

And if you need to, you can pretend like you're eating soup and you have a spoon in your mouth, and you're saying ooh, but your lips do round up, and that's how you know it makes the ooh sound.

But look at all the different ways that it could be spelled.

See how tricky that is, boys and girls?

Now, let's go over all the different spellings for that ooh sound.

So O-O can say ooh, U, consonant sound, E can say ooh.

Remember, that's what we also called a long vowel, our long U.

Remember our long U, says ooh?

Very similar, right?

The same.

U by itself can say ooh, E-W can say ooh, you're right.

U-E says ooh, O-U says ooh, and U-I says ooh, good job.

Remember, these lines means that U-I always gonna be in the middle, and I'm gonna tell you, there's not a lot of words with that U-I, but you need to know that the U-I can say ooh.

Same thing with that E-W. That means that it's gonna be at the end of a word.

So let's look at my letters here.

Help me blend them together.

Ready?

Here's my first letter.

Ready?

This says puh, ooh, what is it?

Puh, ooh, pool, good job.

Like I like to swim in a big pool when it gets warm outside.

Good job.

Okay, next word.

Help me blend those letters together.

Ready?

Juh, ooh, sss, juice.

You guys remember, the C-E?

That's our soft C, that says the sss sound.

Juice.

Good job, boys and girls.

Okay, now let's build a word.

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

Music, music.

Did you guys hear that?

Music, how may syllable was that?

Two syllables.

So let's build the first syllable.

Mmm, mmm, ooh, mmm, ooh.

Mmm, what's the sound?

Sound, mmm.

Letter?

M, good.

Ooh, and guess what?

That ooh is the U by itself.

Mu, now my next syllable, sss, ic.

Sss, ic.

Oh, I can spell that, that's simple.

Sss, ih, cuh.

You see that?

Now that I divided my word into two syllables, now I can spell it.

How do I spell music?

Let's put it together.

M-U-S-I-C, music.

How did you do?

Awesome job, boys and girls.

Remember on Monday when we practiced identifying those syllables?

It's important to know how many syllable in a word so that you can use it to help you spell and read.

Okay, last word.

Let's see.

Can you spell the word due?

Due, like my library books are due next week, so I need to return them back to Mrs. Martinez.

Due.

First sound, duh.

Good, that's easy, D. Now here's where it becomes tricky, duh, ooh, look at all that spelling for ooh.

How do I spell it?

That's a tricky one.

Now, is it E-W?

Dew?

Guess what, that does say dew, but this is a different dew.

This is the dew, like when it's really cold and I wake up and there's dew on the grass.

The due that my library book is due is the D-U-E, due.

Did you know that?

Good job, boys and girls.

Okay, lots of different ways to spell the ooh sound.

So we're gonna continue practicing all week.

Okay, now let's go and practice now reading, because tomorrow, we're gonna read the other set, and let's practice reading, 'cause this is a tricky sound.

Okay, ready?

So here's my spoon card.

And what does it say?

Ooh, good job.

Okay.

Ready?

Food, school, soon, soup, glue, due, too, chew, right?

All ooh, but look at all the different ways it's spelled.

Grew, rule, and suit.

Good job.

Let's read my sentence.

The food at school was hard to chew.

Did you see all that ooh words with a different spelling?

Good, food, chew, school.

Good job.

Now, let's see how you guys do in our sentence.

I am gonna tell you a sentence, or I'm gonna say a sentence, I want you guys to spell it, and let's see how you guys spell it.

Here's my sentence.

The blue suit is cool.

Good.

Let's read it again.

The blue suit is cool.

Good.

Five words, okay?

First word?

The.

We all know how to spell the, good.

Don't forget to capitalize the word the.

The blue, bl, and there's that ooh, but it's with a U-E, good.

The blue suit.

Ooh, and that's with a U-I, good.

Is cool, cuh, ool.

Good, and you're right, it does rhyme with pool.

Good, the blue suit is cool.

How did you do?

Thumbs up, good job, boys and girls.

You guys are doing such a good job.

So all week, we're gonna continue learning this ooh sound.

Now, let's go back.

I'm gonna pull my chart back, and let's practice our high frequency words.

So you remember high frequency words are those words that show up most frequently when we're reading, and it's important to know how to read and write them.

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

So our two words today, help me read and write them, ready?

Always.

Again, always.

Help me spell it.

A-L-W-A-Y-S, always, good job.

Next word, draw.

Good, read it again.

Draw.

Spell it with me.

D-R-A-W, draw.

Good job.

Okay.

Let's look at my two sentences.

Let's see if we can put these words into my sentences so they'll make sense.

Ready?

First sentence.

Read it with me.

I mmm wave to my friends.

Second sentence.

Can you mmmm a picture of a mouse?

Oh, let's see.

Are you using those context clues?

What do you do with a picture of a mouse?

Good job, you draw a picture of a mouse.

Can you draw a picture of a mouse?

Does that make sense?

Good job.

So that must be always goes in the first sentence.

That's read it.

I always wave to my friends.

Does that make sense?

Good job, boys and girls.

Now, let's practice reading all of our words that we're gonna be learning this week.

Start with the two that we learned today.

Ready?

Always, draw, during, ever, meant, nothing, strong, story, along, and air.

Good job, boys and girls.

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

This week, we're gonna work on contractions with not, and we have previously learned this, so this is a review for us.

Remember, contractions are two small words.

You're right, we're gonna smash them together.

When we do that, we lose some letters, and there's that, good job, that apostrophe that's going to connect the two words together.

So in the word not, the N gets scooted over, I lose the O, and then the apostrophe is going to put them together.

So let's just practice with some of the words that I have here.

You remember, it's a review skill, we've learned this already.

Could not, couldn't.

Good job.

Should not, shouldn't.

Good job.

Would not, wouldn't.

Good job, boys and girls.

And so we'll continue learning this all week.

So don't forget to come back so that we can continue learning our sounds of the week and our high-frequency words, as well as our structural analysis, which is our?

That's right, contraction with our not.

I know, it's a review.

So let's see if you guys can get them, I'll get the answer before I show you the answer.

All right?

Boys and girls, I hope you guys are having or will have a great day learning with your teachers, and I will see you back here in our PBS classroom tomorrow, bye-bye.
