Welcome back to our PBS classroom.

My name is Mrs. Vang and so excited to have you join me so that we can become amazing leaders and writers.

And I know you guys are becoming amazing readers, so remember all this week, I have books, chapter, chapter books to share with you guys cause I know you guys are becoming amazing readers.

Now, again, you guys caught me, I was flipping through these chapter books because I haven't read them.

I went to my County Library and found some books that I thought you guys would enjoy.

So today, I wanted to share The Gooney Bird Greene Series, written by Lois Lowry.

Now I was reading through the book quickly and I found out a couple of things.

I know that Gooney Bird Greene is a second grader.

I know that she's a little bit different from her second grade friends because she's loud and she loves being the center of attention and she tells the best stories.

So if you want to read all about Gooney Bird Greene make sure you are checking out these series to see if you'll enjoy them.

And again, remember, if you are unsure about chapter book, you can look inside the book jacket of a has one, you can look on the back to see if there's something our summary.

that's going to tell you a little bit about the book before you read it.

And as I was looking, guess what I found out at the back of the jacket book, of the jacket, more Gooney Birds books.

So remember a series is ... a series have more than one books about the same characters.

So if you want to read all about Gooney Bird Greene, see if you can find it on Sora, if you are using Sora App.

You can go to your counter library, which I did and I found some Gooney Bird Greene books to share with you guys or you can check to see if they if you have these books in your school library.

Now, if you are reading them, tell me all about it.

Do you enjoy them?

Do you, would you prefer another book?

Do you recommend another book?

Tell me boys and girls, write to me here in our PBS classroom to tell me what you guys are reading and I will love to hear from you guys.

So use the address, that you see on your screen or you can email me, tell me what you're reading, tell me if you would enjoy these books or tell me what you guys are learning right now.

And don't forget to put your home address and your... your home address or your return address so that I can send you one of these fun activity books because these are going to be perfect for you.

You know what, summer, summer's coming up and these will be perfect to keep your brain super strong.

So make sure you guys are putting that home address when you guys are writing to me.

So, and I can't wait to receive your letters.

Okay, boys and girls, now, speaking of Sora, if you have been checking out books on the Sora App let's see if your school made our top countdown.

So remember all week we're counting down the top schools, ah... the schools at the top, with the top schools, with the most read books.

So, today, let's reveal book... let's reveal, which school came in number two.

Are you ready?

Hey, fingers crossed.

Is it your school?

Let's see, Jackson, Jackson Elementary.

Awesome job Jackson.

You guys are doing a great job reading.

Continue to keep reading.

Good job Jackson.

Now don't forget, you have to do your part and check those books out to read and let's see if your school is number one, so come back tomorrow, we'll reveal the number one school in Fresno unified.

Okay, boys and girls, are you guys ready?

Let's get started.

Let's get started with our learning making our brains super-strong and smart.

So we're start off with our listening skills.

So turn those listening ears up because remember we need to be able to hear sounds in the word in order to read and write sound.

And all of a sudden we have been focusing with two skills.

So today we're going to practice with some phoneme, blending and segmentation.

Now remember blending is just, I'm gonna give you sounds, your job, blend it together, to guess my word.

When I say segment, that means I'm going to give you a word, your job is to segment into the different phonemes.

Okay?

So let's see if you guys can practice these skills.

You guys are getting really good at this.

I'm gonna use my red dots to help us.

Ready?

Let's blend these sounds.

Ready?

úF I N AL Blend it, what's my word.

Final.

Good job.

Final.

Okay.

You guys are good at blending now let's segment.

Okay, and this is a good skill when you are writing, you want to spell that word or build that word.

It's a good skill to have.

So let's segment the word 'beetle' Beetle, how many phoneme do you hear in the word beetle.

Oh, I see you guys counting.

Good.

Check it with me.

Ready, beetle, BE E T AL how many sounds or how many phonemes?

Four phonemes and beetle.

Good job.

Okay.

Let's continue practicing our segmenting skills.

Ready.

Now how many sounds or how many phonemes in the word gentle?

Say it.

Gentle.

Okay, go ready so.

Okay.

Check it with mine.

Ready?

G E N T AL Gentle.

How many phoneme?

Five phoneme.

Good job, boys and girls.

Okay.

Now, let's go and practice our... Our phonics lesson or practice our skills for the week.

Now remember, we've already learned all the sound spelling and patterns and second grade.

And so now we've been practicing how to do by words into syllables to, in order to read them fluently.

This week, we are focused on the consonant plus -le syllable.

And that just means whenever we see al, le or actually let's go this way the al, the le and the el, at the end of a word, they also the same thing.

They all say, al, but the rule is, we have to keep that consonant with it to make that last syllable.

Okay.

So once you know how to do that, then you can put the first syllable with that second syllable or that last syllable to blend your word.

So, let's practice, so here's my le, I'm going to keep my constant with it.

So if I'm reading, this is how I would divide my word, now I can go a-ble.

What's my word, able.

Did you see that?

Good job.

Now let's read this word.

So if I'm reading and I see this word, I'm looking at that, le.

I'm going to keep that constant together.

I'm going to divide it now its two smaller parts.

I can now read that shut-tle.

What's my word.

Shuttle.

Good job.

Let's continue.

Again, here's my al.

Keep the consonant together.

Divide it into the two syllables.

Now I can read it men-tal.

What's my word?

Mental.

Good job.

Okay.

Let's continue.

al, keep the consonant divided.

Fi-nal, what's my word?

Final, good reading.

And then mass word.

Here's my el, keep that consonant with it.

Divide it right there.

Now two syllables ba-gel.

What's my word?

Bagel.

Good job, boys and girls.

Now what if you are now writing and you come across a word that you want to write, again, divide it into syllables and then write it.

So if I was writing and I come across the word bottle, I'm going to divide that into the syllables in order to write bot-tle, two syllable.

What's the first syllable bot.

Oh, I know that, b o t that's a closed syllable, bot-tle Oh, I know the tle, it's a t and here is where it gets tricky, tle.

Is that the le?

Is it the el or is it the al?

And if I write them all down but al doesn't, make sense.

The le looks right.

The el does not.

So bot tle, is B O T T L E, bottle.

Did you see how I did that?

And that's what you would do also.

Awesome job.

Now let's continue with our practice of reading a story today.

Today, I have a story for you, called, Circle Zoo.

As we're reading, there's a lot of my constant plus le words in it.

I want you to pull in, divided into syllables if you need to, to blend and read my story.

Ready?

Let's read it together.

This is a story called Circle Zoo.

Ready?

Circle Zoo is a place to see animals.

You see big and little animals at the zoo.

An example of a big zoo animal is a camel.

Camels look at you and chew.

Birds are visible at the Circle Zoo too.

They are little.

There is an ape at the Circle Zoo.

Apes can't be hard to handle.

Oh, let's do that again.

Apes can be hard to handle.

They don't sit still.

They need lots to do.

They need space.

They are able to swing from their arms.

At night, they huddle together to sleep.

They nibble on corn.

Have fun at Circle Zoo.

Good job reading.

Now, did you find all of those words with that consonant le to help you read?

Let's circle a few so that you guys can notice that your brain was doing this so quick but see that word, circle, see you had cir-cle right there.

Animal, ani-mal, right there.

Ah, let's see and there's a lot in here, boys and girls.

We already did little.

We did here, vis-i-ble, visible.

Han-dle, handle.

Did you see that?

Nib-ble, nibble.

Good, and there are more near boys and girls but those are just the few with that consonant el.

Now, tonight, I want you to write about a visit to a zoo.

And if you want to send that to me, boys and girls, I will love to read your story about your visit to the zoo.

Okay.

Now, let's continue with our high-frequency words, cause remember, part of learning how to read fluently is to know how to read your high-frequency words.

Let me fix this.

Every week we have 10 words today.

We're going to focus on these two.

Ready?

Help me read it, Something.

Good.

Let's spell it.

S O M E T H I N G something, good compound word, you you're right.

Next word, song.

Let's spell it.

S O N G Song.

Good job.

Now we have two sentences, let's see if you guys can help me try to figure out which one of these words are going to the sentence to makes sense, right?

I hear mm scratching, but I don't know what it is.

I hear something scratching.

Good job.

Lisa knows every mm, by that band.

Oh, there's a word band.

Lisa knows every song by that band.

Good job, boys and girls.

Now, we're going to quickly go over a contraction in the possessive nouns and if we don't get done with it, we'll continue tomorrow.

Okay.

So remember contractions, two words put together has that apostrophe.

Possessive noun has that apostrophe S, to make it mean it belongs to something.

She is nice to everyone.

What's my contraction.

She is.

She is becomes she's.

You see how she's as a contraction.

The backpack of the hikers missing the what?

The hiker's backpack.

You see, apostrophe S, apostrophe S, contraction, possessive.

Oh, that was a lot of one, boys and girls and you guys are doing amazing job.

Don't forget to come back tomorrow so that we can continue learning and growing our brains.

Have a great day learning today.

Continue reading, and I'll see you tomorrow.

So, and don't forget, send me your stories, boys and girls, I will love to read your stories or your recommendations of books that you're reading.

All right?

Have a great day.
