Fabulous first grade, how are you today?

Great.

It's great to see you on this terrific Tuesday.

I was reading another story about an amazing woman named Mary Jackson.

She's an engineer and you know what?

She helped to do all the math calculations so that the astronauts could launch the space shuttle.

Isn't that the coolest thing, right?

It's a biography, which means it's kind of her life story.

Her name is Mary Jackson, "Human Computer".

And I think you would love to know more about her.

So you should look for this story on Sora or at your County public library.

And I think you're going to be amazed at what a hero she is and all the great things she did.

You could be an engineer just like Mary Jackson.

Okay.

Set your goals.

All right my friends it's time for us to see who number four on our Sora countdown is, are you ready?

Okay.

We had Wilson in number five and let's see who number four is today.

Scandinavian Middle School.

Wow.

A middle school.

Great job Scan.

Super terrific to see you on our top five.

I'm not sure you've ever been there before.

I hope you're back next week.

All right, friends, it is time for you to no not wake up your brain yet.

It's time for you to write me a letter.

I want to send you one of our fun activity books with all the puzzles and games and coloring.

I think you're going to like it.

And it's free.

All you have to do is write to me here at our PBS classroom and give me your name and your address.

You can tell me anything you'd like and I will put one of these in the mail for you.

Okay?

All right.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Send me a letter.

All right my friends now it's time for us to wake up our brains and train our ears for sound.

That's right.

Today, we're going to play the deletion game.

So delete means when we take something off.

Right?

And so today I'm going to tell you a word and I want you to take off the last sound that you hear.

All right.

You ready to try it?

Let me show you what I mean.

If I said dirty, I want you to take off the E so dirty becomes dirt.

See that?

All right.

Sleepy, sleepy becomes sleep.

Very nice.

How about frosty, frosty, frost and then take off the E good job.

How about jumpy, let's say it together without the last sound jump.

Good job.

Very nice.

That is called deletion.

When we delete or take off a sound and today we were taking off the ending sound that makes the long E sound great.

Let's do some fluency and warm up our brains.

Before we get started with our new spelling pattern this week.

All right, here we go.

I-G-H says I.

Say them with me.

I-E says I. O-A says O. O-W says O. O-E says O. A-Y says A. A-I says A. E-A says E. E-E says E. And sometimes I-E says E, great.

All right.

Let's take a look at our spelling pattern for this week.

We are looking at our tree card and we are focusing on Y says E, and E-Y says E. Will you say it with me?

Y says E. E-Y says E great.

Now I have two words that we're going to practice reading together.

We have this vowel here and we have this vowel here.

Now we already know.

We just said, Y says E so when we get to that we're going to say E and look here and look at these letters next to it.

So what do we know about this A?

Right because it has a double consonant we know the A, is going to be the short A sound.

So let's try it, dad, E, daddy.

Good job.

All right.

Let's look at the next one.

Here we go.

Look again.

Oh, yep.

Short E on the front and a long E at the back.

Here we go.

G-L-E, jelly.

Jelly great job.

All right.

Now let's build some words together.

Okay.

That's where you're going to tell me what sounds we need to put in the chart.

Are you ready?

I'm looking for the word, yucky.

Yucky.

What does it start with yuh- yuh?

Right?

That's the Y. Yuh.

Yuh.

Good job short U. Yuh.

K. Okay now here's a trick.

This is a short U and the k sound is in the middle.

So it's going to be C-K.

This says, yuck, yuck.

And how do I make it say yucky.

Right.

I'm going to take this one down off here so we can use it to spell yucky.

Good job.

Great.

What if I want to change yucky to ducky?

What do I need to change?

Right?

The, yuh.

We're going to delete the, yuh, there we go.

And we're going to put a D-D-D very good ducky.

Super.

What if I want to change ducky to lucky?

What's my beginning sound now?

Right?

Look at that.

Just like that.

You were able to spell three words with the long E at the end, and you did great.

Yucky ducky lucky.

Terrific, great reading.

All right.

Now we're going to take a look at our reading chart and practice a couple together.

Let me get my reading finger and let's start right here with city, fussy, Mickey, baggy.

Oh, look at this word baggy.

Now look at this word.

Oh, look, we changed the vowel.

Buggy, penny, silly, messy.

Great.

Let's read our second sentence down here and notice I underlined the Y at the end to help point it out to you.

When you get there, you're going to say the E sound.

Here we go.

The baby is very fussy.

Good job.

All right.

You're getting the hang of it.

I like how you're paying attention to those double consonants so that you know what that first vowel says.

And this one too here's a short vowel because it's followed by the C-K.

When you see that C-K it's almost always going to be a short vowel there.

And then when you see a Y at the end or an E-Y Almost, almost always, it's going to be the E sound.

Okay.

All right.

Let's take a look at our high-frequency words today.

Are you ready?

Today we're going to focus on two.

We are going to look at the word, would and near let's spell would.

W-O-U-L-D would.

Now let's spell near, N-E-A-R, near.

I have two sentences and we need to figure out which word belongs in which sentence?

Ed is hmm the top of the hill.

Okay are you thinking?

Or hmm you would up... Let's read that again.

Hmm you like a berry.

So what do you think?

Oh, right.

I think so, too.

Would you like a berry and I'm going to turn it around so we have an uppercase W and then Ed is near the top of the hill.

Great job.

All right.

I'm going to move this for a minute because I want to share something with you today.

We're going to be working the rest of this week on compound words.

So I'm going to move this away for a minute but I'm going to bring it right back.

And I want to talk to you about compound words.

This says compound words, surgery.

I made it kind of a little chart and you'll see why in a minute.

Boys and girls, a compound word is when we take two smaller words and put them together to make a new word.

Now, the two smaller words have their own meanings.

And when we put them together it gives the new word, a new meaning.

So it's kind of like their surgery.

They're like sewn together.

And so I put a doctor on our page and I thought I'd tie in black history month with our poster.

This is Dorothy Luvenia Brown.

She was the first African-American female surgeon in the South.

Isn't that incredible?

She was the chief of surgery in 1957 to 1983.

See, girls can be important doctors too.

So start making your goals.

All right, let's talk about these compound words.

When we have two small words, like C, like the ocean and horse, and we put them together, we have sea horse.

That's a horse looking animal that lives in the ocean.

And then we have pan that's a little pan and we have cakes.

There's a cake.

And when we put them together, it's a pancake.

We have mail and box.

And when we put those together, we have mailbox.

Do you see how mail is a word all by itself?

And box is a word all by itself.

But when we put them together it makes a whole new word, mailbox.

We have pop and corn.

And when we put those together, it becomes right popcorn.

So let's take a look at our pocket chart because we're going to build some compound words together.

You see here, I have a plus sign because plus means adding two, right?

We can do adding, even in words.

So we have ant plus hill.

And what do we think that is when you put it together?

Anthill.

Good.

So let's turn this card around.

If my chart will cooperate and we have anthill.

So look at what it looks like altogether.

That's a great big word, right?

When we're trying to read a great big word.

I want you to start noticing small words inside of it and that will help you to break it apart.

Anthill, here we have bath plus tub makes which word?

Right bathtub.

How about tea plus pot?

What would that be?

Right.

Teapot.

Great job.

You are really good at compound words.

Have you done this before?

I hope you'll come back and practice some more with me tomorrow.

Let's sing.

♪ Good bye now ♪ ♪ Good bye now ♪ ♪ The clock says we're done ♪ ♪ I'll see you tomorrow ♪ ♪ Good bye everyone ♪ Come back and see me tomorrow so that we can continue to train our ears and practice that long E spelled with a Y and E-Y.

We'll do some more of high-frequency words.

And of course our compound words.

Have an awesome day.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Bye-bye.
