I'm so excited about today.

I'm glad to be back.

Oh wow, I had a great time last week and we're right back at it this week.

Hey, hey, hey, are you guys enjoying going back to school and being online?

Kinda doing both?

I know last week you started out and now you're keeping it going, how awesome is that?

You know what, I wanted to say, you are smart.

You can do it.

And you're awesome.

I know it says I, but I'm telling you, you are awesome.

And I know you can do it, and I know that you are smart.

Whoa, we're having a great time here today.

Oh my gosh.

And don't forget, don't forget that if you write to me right here at Valley PBS, and tell me something you've learned, I am going to send you an activity book.

I've sent so many of these out and I can't wait to send even more.

Write me today.

Oh, we have to get going.

We have to get going.

I have so much energy today.

So many things to do.

So many things to learn.

Are you ready?

I'm ready, let's get started.

What should we do first?

Oh, I know.

Daily phonemic awareness!

Here we go.

Here we go.

Oh, where is it?

It's right here.

There it is.

Oh, look what it says.

It says "Phoneme Substitution."

What does that mean?

Ooh, it means we're gonna change one phoneme, and when we do that, it's gonna make a whole new word.

So here's my word right here.

Look.

Pen.

Can you say pen?

So if I have pen, p-e-n, now I wanna change one phoneme, think about it.

Think about it.

I wanna change one phoneme.

So pen becomes pet, p-e-t. What is the phoneme?

Which phoneme?

The beginning, middle or end?

Pen to pet.

Right, right, the ending phoneme.

That's right.

And so we're gonna have to change the ending phoneme and what are we gonna change it?

We're going to change it from an "N" to a what?

A "T." Right, how smart are you?

That is awesome.

Let's do another one, you ready?

Here we go.

This is map.

Can you say map?

Yes, map.

Think of all those phonemes, m-a-p.

There you go.

Now I wanna change map into mop.

I wanna change map into mop.

Which phoneme are we gonna change?

The beginning, the middle or the end?

Let me see mmm-ap, mmm-ah, oh!

Right I heard you.

It is the middle.

So right now the middle is aaa is for A, and we're gonna change it to what?

Aw right.

We're gonna change it to O.

And now it'll say mop.

Okay, last one.

Last one.

I have bat.

Bat.

And I want to change it to hat.

Let's think of bat.

Buh-aaa-t, three phonemes, okay.

And then I'm gonna change it to huh-aaa-t.

So which phoneme do I need to change?

The beginning, the middle or the end?

Buh-aaa-t, huh-aaa-t. Oh, I can't believe you got that one so quick.

Yes, the beginning phoneme.

I wanna change the buh into what?

Into huh is for H. Nice job.

Nice job.

You guys are so smart.

Let me put that away.

That was cool.

You guys did that one good.

I wonder what kind of phonemic awareness we'll do tomorrow.

Do you wanna know?

Do you want me to tell you?

Nah, come tomorrow and you'll find out.

Okay, here we go.

What should we do next?

I know, sight words.

Sight words.

Let's take a look at our sight words.

Let me turn this around and get our sight words here.

Here we go.

Look at our sight words.

We're gonna do these sight words.

You remember, if you put sight words in your brain, then you are really ahead of the game.

Because when you see those sight words, you'll say, "Oh I know that sight word.

I can read it."

Or if somebody says, "Hey, can you write this sight word?"

You can say, "Oh yeah, I got it in my brain, I can do it."

Here are our sight words this week and remember, these are all review, we've done these before.

That's right.

Oh my goodness, are you ready?

Here we go.

Up.

U-P spells up.

Had, H-A-D spells had.

W-I-L-L spells will.

All, A-L-L spells all.

How, H-O-W spells how.

Ooh, look at that one.

That's gonna be a key one today.

Said, S-A-I-D spells said.

One, O-N-E spells one.

By, B-Y spells by.

From, F-R-O-M spells from.

That, T-H-A-T spells that.

And remember th is a digraph.

So it doesn't say tuh-huh, remember that?

It says th, that.

That.

Nice, nice, how awesome are you?

Whoa, now let's get started with our grammars lesson and today we're talking about, or this week we're talking about adjectives.

Now, remember, an adjective is a describing word that tells more about something.

Adjectives can come before or after a naming word or a noun, right!

So look at this sentence right here.

Here's my sentence.

It says, "I see mmm clouds in the sky".

And we talked about how you have to have the right... You can't just put any adjective unless you want a silly sentence.

But you have to choose the right adjective.

So let's look at our words.

Our words are hard, square and fluffy.

Those are all adjectives right there.

So the question is which adjective do you think would be the right adjective to put in our sentence?

I see mmm clouds in the sky.

Which one?

Hard?

Okay, let's try hard.

I see hard clouds in the sky?

No, that's a silly one.

Try another one.

Which one?

Oh, yes, let's do that one.

I heard a lot of you say fluffy.

So let's try fluffy.

I see fluffy clouds in the sky.

Nice, yes, that works because it gives us more information.

It's describing the clouds.

What do we know about the clouds?

The clouds are fluffy.

Right, right, now I know.

And that's what's cool about adjectives.

It makes my sentence just a little bit more interesting.

I could say I see clouds in the sky.

That's kinda boring.

You know, just a sentence.

But if I say I see fluffy clouds in the sky, ooh, that spices it up a little bit.

Yes, adjective.

So cool.

All right.

Let's talk about phonics.

Let's talk about, oh, we were talking about our vowels.

Vowels are important.

Do you remember vowels?

Vowels are important because the vowels in kindergarten mostly say two sounds.

Remember each vowel can say its sound, which is the happy sound that it likes to say, but it will also say its name when it's asked to.

And we talked about all the clues that help us know when the vowel says its name, but let's remember, A what are the two sounds for a?

Ah and ey, right.

How about E?

Eh and ee.

How about I?

Ih and ay.

And then we have O.

Awe and owe is for O, and then U has the two sounds.

What are the two sounds?

Uh and yu, right.

And then we talked about digraphs.

You remember digraphs are two letters that make one sound.

So you remember C H says ch and T H says th and S H says shush.

And W H says wa and now I want to talk to you about guess what?

I want to talk to you about vowel teams But who better to do that than professor Gessonbert?

Take it away, Professor.

- [Mr. Producer] Professor Gessonbert.

- Yes.

Yes.

Mr. Producer, - [Mr. Producer] It's time to do the show.

- What, what?

Oh, Oh, Oh.

Oh.

I'm so sorry.

So sorry.

So sorry.

Hello, my name is Professor Gessonbert and I know all there is to know about words.

Well, Mr. Dawson has asked me to talk to you about vowel teams.

That's right.

What is a vowel team?

A vowel team is when you have two letters, they could be two vowels or it can be a vowel and a consonant and they work together to make a sound.

Now you have been working on this for the past few weeks when you've been doing long vowel sounds, but Mr. Dawson wants me to talk to you about vowel teams that make some special sounds.

It can get confusing sometimes, but we, I think we could do it.

Yes.

So what can I, Oh, I know, I know.

I'm going to show you one of the vowel teams that Mr. Dawson is going to talk to you about.

Mr. Producer, put those two vowel teams up here, here we go.

Here we go.

Right here.

I have O U and I have O W, right.

Now when you see these two vowel teams, sometimes it can say ow, ow.

So when you see O U and you see O W it can say ow.

Let me give you an example.

Take this off Mr. Producer, and put a picture up there for me, are you ready?

Oh, here we go.

Here's a word, crown, crown.

When I say crown, guess what?

I hear the ow in there and the ow is made up, in this case, of O and W. That's right.

Now Let me think of another word.

Oh, here we go.

Brown.

Put Brown up there, Mr. Producer.

There it is.

There it is.

So when I say Brown, dude, I hear the ow in there.

So I'm going to use either O U or O W. In this case it's O W. Right.

Very good.

Very good.

Okay.

So vowel teams are when you have two letters, it could be two vowels or a vowel and consonant, that work together to make a special sound.

Thank you for joining me.

And now let me take you back to Mr. Dawson.

- Hey, did you like that video?

It's already time for us to go!

It's time for us to go and I'll see you tomorrow.

We'll talk more about "ow" tomorrow.

Bye!
