(upbeat music) - Hey, hey, it's Monday.

- Oh, my goodness.

Good morning.

- Good morning, super readers.

Thank you for joining us in our Valley PBS classroom.

I'm Mrs. Nix.

- I'm Mrs. Hammock.

- And I'm Mrs. O'Leary substituting for Mrs. Vang this week.

- Awesome job, thank you so much.

- We're so glad you.

- Your welcome, thank you.

Glad to be here.

- So this is a place for us to come to learn, practice and grow our brains to become even stronger readers, writers and thinkers.

So let's get started warming up our brains with some... - Ear training.

- Called... - Daily phonemic awareness.

- All right, so super readers today we're going to go through and we're going to practice some blending.

- Ooh, they're getting good at this.

- They are.

So we're going to use our arms to practice our blending.

I'm going to give you some sounds.

And remember when we're blending, we're squishing those sounds together to make a word.

Okay.

So let's start with that first one.

So get our arms out and here's our first sound.

B- OY.

- B- OY.

- You squish them together.

- Boy.

- Boy.

- Boy, great job.

Did you get it too?

- That's a tricky one.

- Woo, yes.

All right, let's try another one.

How about this one?

- V- OI- CE.

- V- OI- CE.

Voice.

Voice.

- That's right.

- You know what I noticed that one was a little easier because the V- sound you can really stretch it to touch the next sound.

- Absolutely, absolutely.

All right.

So if that one was easy, let's go with one that's a little challenging.

Here we go.

P- OI- N- T. P- OI- N- T. Point.

Point.

- Got it.

- I almost ran out to arm.

Right?

So many sounds that was great.

So great job.

That is something that you can always practice.

You can pull apart words, you can put words together, but breaking and blending sounds is a great strategy that's going to help get yourself to be ready to read.

- That's right.

- You know what else gets us ready to read?

- What?

- Yes, yes I do.

- A little dancing.

- Really?

- I always like to get a little extra wiggles in.

- She's very wiggly.

- I like I do, I get a little wiggly.

(Mrs. Hammock laughing) - So it's good.

All right.

So today we're going to do what's it called?

- Can your camel do a Can, Can?

- All right, let's do this.

(upbeat music) (teacher clapping) - Ooh, this is the fast one.

We're going to wake fit.

- Absolutely.

(teachers clapping) - Some little coordination.

- Yeah, she does.

- With a little balance too.

(teachers clapping) (all cheering) - Wow.

- But you know what, now we're moving and you know, we're ready for sure.

- That did wake me up.

- Right.

It's a good thing.

All right, awesome.

- All righty.

So we are going to start our phonics lesson.

- Okay.

- That's awesome.

- Well then, we'll see you.

- I'll see you guys later.

Okay, so boys and girls this whole week, we are going to be focusing on the OY sound and we're going to use our boy card to help us this week.

So we have a boy, OY and it's spelled two different ways.

It's spelled O-I and then O-Y at the end of a word or a syllable.

So let's get started with some blending.

I wonder if my friends could join us today.

- Hi.

- Hello, Mrs. O'Leary.

- Hello.

- Hello, Mrs. O'Leary.

- I just love my little friends, thank you for joining.

We're going to start with blending some words.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Are you up for it?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, lets do it.

- So our first word is up here right here.

And the very beginning sound is?

- S. - And then if you move down just like we just did.

What's our focus?

- OI.

- OI.

- Is our focus this week and the ending sound is?

- L. - So let's try it again.

- S-OI-l. - Good and one more time.

- Oh, oh I hear it.

Soil.

- Yeah, that was good, that was good.

- You know what soil is?

- What's soil?

- It's a fancy way of saying dirt.

- Oh, yeah.

- You're so right, very good, don't you just love reading?

- I do.

- Isn't reading just the best.

All right.

Let's do another blend.

- Okay.

- And we're going to start over here with the beginning and then blend it with me.

- Okay.

- J- OY.

- Oh that's a short one, let's do it again.

- J- OY.

- And faster.

- Joy, joy, joy, joy.

- Oh, that's nice, I know a girl named Joy.

- Oh, do you?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Okay.

In that case would make this an uppercase J, if we were talking about a name.

- That's right.

- I am filled with joy, for being here this week at Valley PBS.

- Oh.

Yes, yes.

- Yes.

- We like having you.

- So blending is really fun, but so is building words.

Do you think you can build a word with me?

- Okay, yeah.

- I love that.

- If I gave you the word you think you can and build a word.

- Okay.

- Yeah, yeah.

- All right, so I'm going to think of a word.

How about join?

- Join.

- And here's all of our letters.

Do you think you could help me build that?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- What's that first sound?

- Oh, that's the J card.

- The J card.

You are absolutely, right?

So I'm going to set it right here.

- Okay.

- J-OI-N. - It has a OI, but you know what that I think she said that when we are supposed to use the OI is in the middle of the word.

So let's try that.

- Okay, all right.

- So let's do OI.

- Okay.

That's our focus sound.

- OI-N. - Your last sound, what's that last sound?

- It's the N. - Did you get that boys and girls at home?

Did you get that last sound as being N-N?

So let's say it together.

- Join.

- Join.

- That's like when you put two things, or three or four together.

- Yeah.

- That's right.

- We joined all the letters together.

- All right.

- To form the word join.

(puppet laughing) - You did a great job.

One more word.

- Okay.

- If you'll help me with one more word before you have to take off.

How about a boy?

Boy.

- B- - OY.

- What's that boy?

- Boy.

- First sound.

What do you think it is?

Boys and girls, what do you think it is?

- It's a B.

- Yep, yep.

- B.

- You agree with them?

- I agree.

- Okay.

- Alright.

- There's my B and then what comes next?

- I see the word joy that we read, and boy is the same ending part.

So I think it's -OY Because I think they're rhyming words.

- Mm.

- Rita, you are so smart.

You're absolutely right.

Let's say that together.

- Boy.

- Good job.

- Yay.

- Yay.

- Thank you so much for helping me.

- You're welcome.

- All righty.

And so boys and girls, we're going to read a sentence together.

And if I look at that sentence, I've got a couple words in there that have our OI spelling sound pattern.

So let's read it together, just you and me.

So start at the beginning here.

We have a uppercase letter, because it's the beginning of a sentence and it says, oh, oh my goodness.

Now I'm seeing three words with our OI sound in it.

Oh my gosh.

Roy, good job, found a coin in the, ooh, we said that word, soil or the dirt.

In the soil.

Roy found a coin in the soil.

It's so fun to be able to look at words and blend them and build them and decode them.

I just love reading.

But now it's time to practice some high frequency words that also help us with reading.

And Mrs. Hammock is going to help us with that.

- Good morning, super readers.

All right, we have six words again this week.

So let's go over all of them.

I'm just, we're going to read them.

And then we're going to focus on two today.

Are you ready to help me?

Okay, here we go.

We have knew.

And that is like when you knew something like from in the past new.

Toward, money, build, fall and above very nicely done.

Today, we're going to focus on knew and build.

So let's get them out of our chart and let's take a look at the word knew first.

Are you ready?

Now, if you have something to write on, get it out and let's write it.

We're going to spell it out loud, here we go.

K-N-E-W, knew.

I knew you could read that word.

Okay.

Let's look at this word, build, B-U-I-L-D, build.

Excellent.

This week, we're going to listen to a bunch of stories and you're probably going to hear the word build a lot.

So keep that in mind.

Let's take a look at our sentence really quickly.

He hmm how to hmm a town out of blocks.

He knew how to build a town out of blocks.

Maybe you can think of another sentence that can use both those words.

Another way to practice is our favorite rainbow writing.

And that's where we write our high frequency words using the colors of the rainbow.

Now remember on TV we don't use yellow because it would be really hard for you to see yellow, but you can see here I have rainbow writing and that's exactly what I would do.

I would start with red and I would write my high frequency words.

K-N-E-W, knew.

And then I would go on to the next color of the rainbow, orange and then so on, all the way till I use all the colors of the rainbow and I would practice it over and over.

Then I would start with the next word build.

And I would practice that one.

When we say it and we hear it and we write it.

That is how we get those high frequency words locked in so that we can use our extra brain power for sounding out words like we did with Mrs. O'Leary.

Got it, good, all right.

Today we are going to be listening to a story.

It's kind of interesting.

The sheep, the pig, and the goose who set up a house.

I wonder what's going to happen while you're thinking about it, while you're listen.

I want you to ask yourself some questions about what's happening and then see if you can find the answers as you listen to the story, we'll see you after the story.

- [Narrator] "The sheep, the pig, and the goose who set up house" a tale from Norway.

Why might a sheep and pig build a home?

Who might build a home with them?

What kind of home might they build together?

Long ago, a sheep lived on a farm.

He was always given plenty to eat.

So he was quite contented with his life.

Then one morning everything changed.

On that morning, the farmer's wife brought his food as usual she set it down in front of him and said, enjoy this food while you can deer sheep, because you won't be around much longer.

She cackled to herself and added.

The next time we meet you will be on my dinner table.

The sheep was shocked by what the farmer's wife said, but since he was quite clever, he came up with a plan.

First, he ate all the food, the farmer's wife had brought him.

Then he got out the door of his pen and ran away as fast as he could.

The sheep ran to the neighboring farm where his friend, the pig lived.

Good morning, dear friend said the sheep.

Good morning to you replied the pig, who was building a larger pen for himself.

But tell me, dear friend, why do you look so disturbed?

The sheep whispered in the pigs ear.

I have just been informed that the farmers are fattening us up because they intend to eat us for dinner.

The farmer's wife told this to me, oh, my cried the pig.

What shall we do?

We will go off and live on our own, said the sheep.

We will build a house for ourselves.

Yes, exclaimed the pig, it will be our project.

I will use my hammer, we will build a fine home together.

Then the pig, then the sheep ran off Soon the pair met a goose that lived on another nearby farm.

Hello said the goose, here are you both off to?

Hello, said the sheep.

We are running away because we learnt that the farmers are planning to eat us for dinner.

So we are off to build our cell of a house and live independently.

Oh my goodness, cried the goose.

What if my farmer is planning to eat me?

Let me go with you.

He begged them.

I am a fine carpenter and I can make beautiful furniture, after all, every house needs furniture.

That is very true replied the sheep and pig.

You are welcome to join us.

So the sheep, the pig and the goose went off and found a good location for their home.

Using timber from the forest, the sheep and pig built a fine structure.

That was big enough for three.

And the goose made lovely furniture for their home.

Before too long the happy trio moved into their brand new home.

They were unaware however, that a wolf lived in the woods nearby and had been watching them.

You can be sure that this wolf was up to no good.

He wanted nothing more than to get into their home and eat them all for dinner.

So the wolf planned a trick to get in.

He knocked on the door of their house and said, I'm just in the middle of baking and have run out of flour.

Could you spare a cup?

But the three friends knew all about the tricks of wolves.

After the trouble they went through to build it, they were not about to be eaten in their own home.

As soon as the Wolf came inside the house, the sheep gave him such a kick that he almost went through the ceiling.

Then the pig began to bite his legs and the goose pecked him on the back with her strong beak.

The wolf ran out of the house and into the woods and was never seen or heard from again.

And the three friends lived happily ever after in their marvelous home.

- Okay.

So did anything maybe surprise you with that story?

I know that I definitely was a little bit surprised on how that all went down okay.

So help me go through and let's answer some questions together, because I thought of some questions as I was reading and it's always good to practice being able to summarize and kind of retell our stories.

So let's go through and think about some of our things.

With that first card that came up, what does the farmer's wife tell the sheep and how does it make the sheep feel?

Do you remember?

That's right, that's right.

So the farmer's wife told the sheep that she couldn't wait to have the sheep for dinner, right?

That the sheep will be on the dinner table.

And then the sheep was really shocked and ran away.

So on that next picture, what did we learn about... What does the sheep tell the pig, right?

He ran found the pig.

And then what did they decide to do together?

Do you remember?

That's right, they decided that they were going to that...

The sheep told the pig that the farmers intended to eat them for dinner and they didn't like that very much, right?

So they decided to go off and let live on their own.

What happened next?

Who'd they find?

That's right, the goose.

And what did they all decide to do together?

Do you remember?

Yeah, that's it.

So they found the goose next and they built a house that was big enough for all three of them.

Now how about that ending?

Did that kind of surprise you?

How did it end?

Do you remember?

What does the wolf want to do?

And how does the story end?

What did that wolf want?

That's right.

He wanted to eat the sheep and the pig and the goose.

Was he successful?

No.

Do you remember?

They came in and they kind of attacked the wolf, right?

They fought back.

And then, so the wolf wanted to eat them all, at the end the sheep, the pig and the goose attacked the wolf.

And then they lived happily ever after in their marvelous house.

Now speaking of marvelous houses, I think that's what we're going to do today with our writing.

So let's come over here and look at our writing prompt today.

So if you could build your own house, what would it be like?

Can you be creative and think different things that you would put in your house?

I know that as I was thinking about it, I thought of a lot of ideas.

So, I wrote an introductory sentence.

It just says, if I could build a house, it would be beautiful.

And then I can come up with a whole bunch of sentences of all the different ways that it could be beautiful, right?

Now, today I'm going to invite our friends over to kind of help me finish out some ideas, but you could do this at home too.

So hi friends.

- Hi.

- Oh my goodness, how are you?

- Well, hello child.

Nice to be with you today.

- Oh, it is so lovely to have you with us today.

All right.

Can I get some help?

What could we put here for our next sentence?

If we said, if I could build a house, it would be beautiful.

What might our next sentence say?

- Well, I thought of something.

- You did?

- How about there would be many rooms for my family and friends to stay in.

- Oh, that's great.

- Oh, that would be great.

Okay.

- Yeah, yeah.

- Did you write that?

Let me see.

All right.

Perfect.

Thank you, awesome.

So there would be many rooms for my family and friends to stay in and you know, that's really important, huh?

We'd like to invite our family come and stay with us.

All right.

What else could we do?

- Well... - Rita, could you think of something ?

- Yes, I did.

- Okay.

- All right, I would have a dining room and the dining room have a huge table.

- Oh.

- So that everyone could eat together.

Not in like a kids' table, but a big, big, big table.

- Right?

- Yeah.

- Oh, I love that.

That is just wonderful, because then everybody would get to eat together and be together.

I love it.

I think that's so fun.

- It's fun to talk at the table.

- Oh, I agree.

All those conversations that you can have, all those things you can learn.

So the dining room would have a huge table so everyone could eat together.

So I'm starting to see a theme.

I think you guys like to have a lot of people together, right?

Okay.

- We do.

- Yes ma'am.

- Do we have any other ideas of what we could add to our paragraph?

- Hmm.

Well, let me see now I might have an idea.

- Okay.

- How about finally the living room would be large enough for all of us to sit and watch movies.

- Uh!

- Uu, I like movies - You like movies?

- Yes I do.

- I love the movies.

- Ooh that would be... - I hope Ricky likes them too.

Even though he's not here today.

- Thank you, Ronda.

- He likes movies.

- Yes yeah.

Well, yeah.

You've got Ricky and Rhonda and Rita and Tina.

Oh my golly.

There'd be so many of us All together.

- And we could watch them all together.

Wouldn't that be fun would?

- That would be so much fun.

- So finally the living room would be large enough for all of us to sit and watch movies together.

All right.

So what do you think?

Are we all done?

Is that good enough?

- Well, no because it just kind of ends and if we want it to be a complete, we have to have a closing sentence.

- Oh, okay.

So how might we close this off?

Do you have an idea then Rita - Yeah, yeah I do.

I said, these are just, because we didn't talk about the whole house.

These are just a few the things I would include.

If I could build my own house.

- That's true, maybe there might be more.

So you could add more later, but this is just a start, right?

Yeah, yeah.

I love it.

So these are just a few of the things I would include.

If I could build my own house, - You guys did a fantastic job.

- I like writing together, it's fun.

- I do too, I do too.

And you know what?

I bet our super readers have a great idea of what they would put in their own house.

- I think so.

- Let's let's have them do that.

And we will see you back here in just a second, because I think we've got an awesome book to check out.

- Well, hello, super readers.

I have another book for you today.

This is a book called "Not Norman", a goldfish story by Kelly Bennett.

In this book this little boy wanted a pet but guess what.

He didn't want Norman.

Norman was a goldfish, but guess what?

He finds out.

That Norman can become a great pet.

Do you know why Norman the goldfish is a great pet?

Well, you are just going to have to read to find out because Norman is the best pet, I would love him as my pet with my friends.

So make sure you check this book out to read in your library or on Sora.

Thanks for watching Valley PBS.

See you next time.

Bye, bye.

- That was awesome.

(teachers laughing) Thank you so much, Ricky, oh, I golly.

- Oh, I love Not Norman, it's a good one.

- Oh, that's such a great story.

- What?

Oh, no, I don't know that one.

Oh, okay.

I'll tell him what do you call a pig that does karate.

- Karate - A pork chop.

- Oh my golly, you're so silly, you're so silly.

I love it.

- Oh my goodness.

- Hey, thanks for watching Valley PBS this morning and we will see you back here tomorrow, take care.

- Bye.

- Bye, bye.
