Say neigh neigh to your stuffed animal friend.

Now that we have had a chance to think about some animals that live on a farm, let's take a look at the book.

The title of this book is "At Home on the Farm."

It is printed here on the front cover of the book.

Whisper the title to your stuffed animal friend.

What farm animal do you see on the front cover?

Tell your answer to your stuffed animal friend.

Do you see cows?

Count the cows with me.

One, two, three.

Now watch me as I opened the book, let's take a picture walk.

During a picture walk we look at the pictures to help us understand the book better.

Tell your animal friend what we look at when we take a picture walk.

That's right.

We look at the pictures in the book.

What do you see here?

Whisper your answer to your animal friend.

I can see a red barn.

A barn is a building on the farm where animals live.

Who do you think might live in the barn?

Tell your answer to your stuffed animal friend.

Let's go to the next page.

What do you see?

Whispering your answer to your stuffed animal friend.

I see one brown cow.

Do you think this cow might like to live in the barn?

I think he might.

The barn would keep him dry when it rained and it would be warm and cozy at night.

Let's turn the page.

I can see a muddy place that is surrounded by a wooden fence.

Do you know what this place is called?

It is called a pen.

Who do you think likes to live in a pen?

Whisper your answer to your stuffed animal friend.

Did you think that the pig would like to live in the pen?

Here he is on the next page.

He looks very clean.

Maybe the farmer just gave him a bath.

I am curious about what we will see next on the farm.

Let's turn the page and find out.

I see a small wooden house.

Who might live here?

Whisper your answer to your animal friend.

This place is a hen house.

If you thought that it had might like to live here, you were right.

Here she is.

The hen house keeps her safe from foxes and raccoons.

Let's turn to the last page of the book.

What do you see?

Tell your stuffed animal friend.

I see a whole farm.

Doesn't a farm look like a quiet, peaceful place to live?

I think I would like to visit a farm.

So today we read a book together about animals that live on the farm and where they like to live.

We were able to do this by knowing where we start reading on a page, where we go next and using some of the words we know, like look, at, the, and blend sounds to say our farm animal vocabulary words.

I am so proud of all of you for helping me read this book.

I can hardly wait to see you next time.

[screen flips] - Meal time is my favorite time of the day.

And I just love eating healthy, yummy food.

We found some videos that teach you how to cook that we thought you would enjoy.

Have fun watching, and if you like what you see, ask a trusted adult if you can make this at home too.

[playful upbeat music] - [Children] Lalo's lunchbox!

- Hello friends.

My name is Lalo and I'm here with Daisy and lunchbox, [lunchbox clattering] to make banana peanut butter wraps.

- But first let's wash our hands.

[upbeat music] [horn squeaks] [water burbling] - And now, - [Together] Let's make lunch.

[playful music] - To make these wraps, First you need a banana.

- Peanut butter or a substitute like sunflower butter.

- And you could add fun things like craisins.

- Or raw honey.

- [Together] Flour tortillas.

- Hello, I've got a joke for you.

What do you call a shoe made from a banana?

- [Together] Laughing.

- Thank you daisy for helping me make these banana peanut butter wraps.

- Absolutely.

These were easy peasy.

- Here's a question for you.

Do you have a favorite fruit?

I like strawberries and bananas.

Do you know strawberries are the only fruit to have their seeds on the outside?

I just read that and thought it'd be cool to share.

I love being able to share the things I learn to you.

Let's start our literacy lessons so we can have more knowledge to share.

Hang tight 'cause here it comes.

- Hello readers.

My name is Ms. Cliette.

I am so excited to be learning with you today.

Before we get started on our lesson, let's say hello with our welcome song.

♪ Hello readers.

♪ ♪ Hello readers.

♪ ♪ How are you?

♪ ♪ How are you?

♪ ♪ I'm so glad to see you.

♪ ♪ I'm so glad to teach you.

♪ ♪ Hello you, you and you.

♪ [cat meows] Very good.

I am so glad that you came to learn with me today.

Readers, did you know that all the letters in the alphabet have special names?

They can be put into two categories.

Consonants or vowels.

Do you know which letters are the consonants and which letters are the vowels?

There are 21 consonants and five main vowels.

Can you name the letters that are vowels?

You can, if you know them, you can say them along with me.

Ready?

A, E, I, O, U.

Do you know the short vowel sounds A, E, I, O and U. I'll say them first and then you can say them along with me.

I'm going to add some movements along with each sound to help us to remember them.

Short A says "a", short E says "e", short I says "i", short O says "o", short U says "u".

This time, I want you to say the short vowels along with me.

See if you can also add the movements, with each of the sounds.

Ready?

Short A says "a", short E says "e", short I says "i", short O says "o", short U says "u".

Nice job.

In addition to knowing our short vowel sounds during each of our lessons, we are going to learn words called heart words.

Some sounds contain one or more sounds that are spelled a little bit differently than they're usually spelled.

Since these parts are a little different than usual, we have to learn them by heart.

We can call these words, heart words.

To do this, we're going to create our very own heart word dictionary.

You'll need two pieces of paper and something to write with.

While you grab your items, I'll go grab mine.

I'll be right back.

[soft upbeat music] ♪ I'm back with my two pieces of paper and something to write with.

I grabbed a marker but a pen, crayon or pencil is just fine too.

Now, let's get started on making our heart word dictionary.

I'm gonna start by stacking my two pieces of paper on top of each other and then fold them in half hamburger style.

That's the short way.

Would you look at that readers?

It's a book.

Books always have a cover, so I'm going to draw a heart and write the word "Word" as the title so that I know that this is my heart word dictionary.

Today, we are going to add two words to our heartbreak dictionary.

Let's get ready for our first heart word.

Lets examine the word some, as in some of my favorite friends will be at the party.

We can use our letter sounds to spell some of the sounds in some.

The other sounds we need to learn to spell by heart.

Some has three sounds.

"S" "o" "m".

Say those sounds with me, "s" "o" "m".

The first sound "s" is spelled with the letter S. What letter?

That's right, S. The last sound "m" is spelled with the letter M. What letter?

That's right, M. These sounds are spelled the way that we expect them to be spelled based on our understanding of letters and sounds.

The middle sound "o" is spelled with the letter O and there's a letter E at the end of the word that doesn't spell any sound.

The O and the E are the two parts that you have to learn to spell by heart.

Lets spell some together.

S-O-M-E, some.

What word?

That's right, some.

Now let's write this word down in our heart word dictionary.

Readers, let's get ready for our second heart word.

Let's discuss the word walk, as in, I went for a long walk with my best friend today.

We can use our letter sounds to spell some of the sounds in walk and other sounds we will need to learn to spell by heart.

Walk has three sounds.

"W" "al" "k".

Say those sounds with me.

"W" "al" "k".

The first sound "w" is spelled with the letter W. What letter?

That's right, W. The last sound "k" is spelled with the letter K. What letter?

That's right, K. We can read these parts using phonics knowledge.

The middle sound, "al", is spelled with the letters A L. What letters?

That's right readers, A L. This is the part that we need to learn to spell by heart.

Lets spell walk together.

W-A-L-K. What word?

Walk.

Now let's write this word down in our heart word dictionary.

Good.

I hope that after this lesson, you'll share your heart word dictionary with someone whom you love.

Together you can keep adding words to your dictionary.

That was a great warm-up readers.

Now we are going to learn about R control vowels or as I like to call it bossy R. I can't wait to show you.

Today, we are going to learn about R control vowels.

The letter R is a constant, and it is very bossy.

When the letter R is behind the vowels, A, E, I, O and U, it changes the sound of the vowels.

Today, we'll focus on how R bosses around the letter A.

At the beginning of our lesson, we reviewed the short vowel sounds, and the sounds that they make.

However, when bossy R is behind the vowel, the sound changes.

Let me demonstrate.

When the letter R is behind letter A, it no longer says "a", and now it says "ar" like in the word star.

When the letter R is behind the letter E, it no longer says, "e", it now says "er" like in the word germs, yuck.

When the letter R is behind the letter I, no, no, no, it doesn't say "i", it now says "ir", like in the word stir.

When the letter R is behind the letter O, it does not say "o" anymore it now says "or", like in the word horn.

When the letter R is behind the letter U it no longer says "u", it now says "ur", like in the word curl.

Do hear how bossy the letter R can be?

The letter R can chose the sound of the vowel that comes before it.

In other words, it bosses it around and changes the sound.

Today, we learned about how bossy R, bosses around letter A.

When the letter R has a letter A in front of it it makes the sound "ar", let's see how this works.

I'm going to build a few words.

Let's start with this first one.

Do you know what this word is?

I'm gonna tap out the sounds in this word to figure out the word I built.

Remember, A R makes the "ar" sound so we will tap out those two letters together to make one sound.

Are you ready?

"C" "ar", car.

This word is car.

Can you say car?

Listen to the sound of the "ar" make in the word car.

Bossy R makes the A say "ar".

Now let's build and read our next word.

Let's tap out the sounds and this word, "p" "ar" "t", part, awesome.

This word is part.

Let's re all of these words together.

Car, part.

Wow, you did an amazing job tapping out the sounds of each of those words.

You also remembered that A R is read together and makes the sound "ar".

AR is an R control vowel.

Now that we have practice reading R word, lets see if you can read a couple sentences and spot some of the words that have a R control vowel "ar".

As we read this sentence, when you hear the R words, clap your hands.

Let's get started.

Get those reading eyes ready.

Let's read our first sentence.

I saw the car go far.

I see in here, bossy R bossing around the vowel in front of it.

Do you?

What word had the R controlled vowel R?

That's right, car and far.

Let's underline those words, car and far.

Let's read our last sentence and see if you can spot bossy R in this sentence.

She put a jar in the cart.

There's bossy R bossing around the vowel in front of it.

Do you see it and hear it?

What word have the R control vowel R?

Yes, that's right, jar and cart.

Let's underlies them.

Today you did an amazing job identifying bossy R words that had the R control vowel "ar".

When you are reading on your own and you come across the word, remember to practice this skill you learned today to help you to decode those words.

I challenge you to go on a bossy R a scavenger hunt.

Look at objects around the house and see if they have the "ar" spelling.

I hope that you had fun today.

I will see you next time readers.

Bye, bye.
