Welcome back to another great week of learning.

My name is Mrs. Vang and I'm so excited to have you guys join me so that we can become, that's amazing readers and writers.

Okay, I've another favorite book to share with you guys.

And I want you guys to look, do you see any characters that you might recognize in this picture?

Yeah, some of you guys did.

Now this is a book called "Miss Smith's Incredible Storybook."

And this is a great book because in this book the characters jump out of the pages as you're reading.

And the only way to get them back in is to finish the story, and guess what?

No one was listening so they couldn't finish the story until Miss Smith comes back.

Do you think these characters will ever get back into the story?

I don't know.

You're gonna have to check out this book and find out.

Again this is Miss Smith's incredible story book by Michael Garland.

Now there's a couple of ways that you can try to find this book.

If you have the Sora app, you can check on Sora to see if this book is available for you to check out.

You can try to check it out at your County library or at your school library.

Again, this is a book that I checked out at Thomas' school library because I was there last week and I just went around and I was looking for books that I hadn't read before that I wanted to share with you guys.

So I pick up this book and see these or those these characters will ever get back into their storybook.

All right, now, boys and girls, speaking of Sora the last couple of weeks in Fresno Unified we have been doing a digital reading challenge which means we were counting how many minutes kids were reading on Sora.

So we have the top five school with the most read minutes and Fresno Unified.

So let's see if your school is on our top five countdown.

Are you ready?

Okay, so today's Monday.

So we're gonna start with the school that came in in number five.

Let's see if it's your school.

Ready?

So coming in number five with our digital reading challenge is let's see Aynesworth.

Aynesworth Elementary, good job out of all the elementary school in Fresno.

You guys came in number in 5th place.

That is awesome.

Good job.

And keep checking out those books on Sora and we'll see which school is going to make our top countdown next week.

Okay, boys and girls.

Now don't forget.

I still have a lot of these activity books here in our PBS classroom.

So if you don't have one boys and girls, we have a lot of them to give away and they don't cost anything.

Do you know how to get one?

All you have to do is write a letter or an email to me here in our PBS classroom and I'll send you one of these fun activity books.

Now don't forget to put your home address or your return address so we can get these to you.

All right?

I can't wait to receive your letters so that I can send this book out to you, all right?

Okay boys and girls.

Okay you guys ready to get started.

Awesome, I know we have been on our little rest over the weekend, so let's warm up our brain by playing a fun mystery word game.

That's right.

This is a review game.

What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna show you some sound spelling cards.

Your job is to make the sound, blend the sound together, guess my word.

Now, if you have a paper or a pencil or a whiteboard nearby, make sure that you are using your paper or pencil or whiteboard to write down my mystery book.

Mystery words so that we can check it.

Are you ready?

Okay, let's stretch out our brains so that we can get ready for our learning.

Okay, ready?

First sound is the window card.

The window card says, wa.

Good job.

Next sound.

Oo, the egg card.

Egg card says, e. Good job.

Next card is the thumb card.

What does that say?

Th.

Good job that's a diagraph.

Wa e th.

Okay, last one is the shirt card.

What does the shirt card say?

A, good job.

Now blend it together.

Ready?

Wa, e, th, a.

What's my mystery word?

Weather.

What is it?

Weather.

Good job.

Now, let's check.

How did you spell weather?

Weather is spelled, W-E-A-T-H-E-R, weather.

Like the weather outside is nice and warm, weather.

How did you do?

Thumbs up.

Good job boys and girls.

Okay, so now that our brain is all warmed up, let's get ready by that's why we got to train our listening ears today.

Okay, so are you guys ready?

Okay, get your listening ears.

Turn them up nice and high so that we can practice a game with phoneme reversal.

Now in this game, I'm going to say some sounds your job is to blend and we're gonna reverse and go back with the same sound and it's gonna make a new word.

Let's see if you guys can figure out my new word.

Okay, you ready?

Okay, p ar t. What is it?

Part, good.

Now go back.

Let's reverse it.

T a p. What is it?

Tap.

Good job.

Okay, next set of sounds, ready?

B a t. what is it?

Bat.

Okay, reverse it.

You have to remember the sounds, ready.

T a b.

What is it?

Tab.

Good job.

Okay, last set of sounds.

Ready?

T e n. What is it?

Ten.

You guys are really good at this.

Good, let's reverse it.

Ready, n e t. What is it?

Net.

Good job boys and girls practicing your listening skills.

Now, before we go to our phonics instruction let's quickly go over a high-frequency words.

Remember high frequency words are words that we see most frequently when we are reading and writing.

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

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

So our two words that we're gonna focus today are the words, door and front.

Say, I want you to read it with me again and spell it.

Ready?

First word, door.

Good job.

Let's spell it.

D-O-O-R, door.

Good job.

Okay, next word.

Front, good job.

Spell it, F-R-O-N-T, front.

Good reading.

Now I have two sentences for us.

Let's read and see which one of these words will go into the sentence so that all makes sense.

Ready?

Read it with me.

The kitchen is open.

Good job.

Let's read the second sentence.

There is a big tree in our yard.

Now, if we're using our context clues to find the word that's gonna make sense in our sentence, there's a couple of clues in the first sentence.

There's a kitchen and something is open.

So what do you think it is?

The kitchen door is open.

Does that make sense?

Yes.

And there was a big tree and something about my yard.

So do you think there's a big tree in our front yard?

Yes, there is.

Good job, boys and girls.

So our two words today, are door and front.

Let's read all of the words that we're gonna be learning this week.

Okay, ready?

Let me get my reading fingers.

Help me restart with the two that we learned today.

Door, front, order.

Probably, remember, someone, tomorrow.

What's, worry, in, yesterday.

Okay, boys and girls.

Good job with your high-frequency words.

Now let's move into our phonics instructions and guess what?

Let me move this out of the way a little bit.

We are out of sound spelling cards.

We have learned all the spelling patterns in second grade already.

So from now until the end of the school year we're just really gonna be focusing on our syllable types from those.

And in 2nd grade we're gonna be practicing the six syllable types because did you know that learning to read with the syllables and in this week, we're gonna be focusing on a closed and open syllable.

Learning syllable types and especially the close in the open syllable is what we call it's a foundational skill for multi-syllabic decoding.

That's a long word, is it?

Multi-syllabic word.

Decoding just means words with more than one syllables that we're gonna be decoding.

And did you know that learning to read part or chunking or what we call breaking down words is easier for us to read and write?

And so that is why for the rest of the school year, we're really just gonna be working with our syllable types to break them down into what we call manageable chunks so that we can read.

Okay, so let's go over what closed and open syllables mean.

So closed syllables just means that the is what we call.

Vowel is closed in.

And so, because my vowel is closed in between two consonants it's going to make a short vowel sound, okay?

And the pattern that we most likely see is a vowel consonant, consonant, vowel pattern, okay?

Now in open syllable, the vowels are open and that's why it's called an open syllable.

And because it's open, the vowel is going to make a long vowel, okay.

And the pattern that we most likely see with it as a vowel consonant vowel.

So what does that look like?

Well, let's get some example here for us.

So let me move my chart.

Let's move it around because I have two words that I want us to look at, okay?

So let's look at the first word.

And remember that little pattern that I said that was most likely, this is what my brain does.

So my brain goes, "Oh, A is a vowel."

And my brain goes, "Oh, I, is a vowel."

And then it goes, "Oh, what's in between my two vowels?"

I see a consonant.

P is a consonant, K is a consonant.

Now I have my vowel consonant, consonant vowel, pattern.

And I know that if it's a vowel, consonant, consonant, vowel pattern I know that I would divide my word between the two constant, okay?

And because I divide between the two consonant, let's look at the first syllable part.

Notice the first syllable part is, you see the, not the syllable part, but look at the vowel.

You see how it's closed in between the two consonants?

So that means that say short vowel, you're right.

So let's read it, n a p, nap.

And this is, k i n, kin.

Put it together.

What's my word?

Napkin.

How did you do?

Good, now let's quickly go over the next word you see.

I see my, do you see my vowel?

What's my vowel?

I, good job.

I hear you.

What's the other vowel?

E, good job.

And what's in between?

Just one constant, good job.

Okay, so what's my pattern?

It's a vowel consonant vowel pattern.

So in that sense remember, because it's a vowel consonant vowel, there's only one constant.

That means we're gonna divide our word between the vowel and the constant.

So you see how the vowel is open.

There's not a consonant next to it.

So it's a long vowel.

So let's quickly sound this out.

Ti.

And that says, g er.

What's my word?

Tiger.

Oh my goodness.

That's a lot of learning boys and girls, but don't forget to come back tomorrow so that we can continue blending and segmenting words with more than one syllable.

Okay, so boys and girls, I hope you guys have a great day of learning with your teachers.

And as you're reading, I want you to really focus and look for those open vowel syllables to help you read, all right?

Okay, have a great day.

And I'll see you tomorrow, bye bye.
