"THE SKY" ARE YOU READY, SUPER LEARNERS?

YES, LET'S START.

WILL YOU READ IT, CLAUDIA?

YES, THANK YOU.

MM-HMM.

IT'S CALLED "THE SKY."

HOW INTERESTING.

BUT YOU KNOW SOMETHING, SUPER LEARNERS?

LET'S WAIT FOR SOMETHING, BECAUSE LET'S LOOK AT THE PAGE, OKAY?

WHAT DOES IT SAY HERE?

VERY GOOD.

"THE SKY."

"THE SKY."

NOW, LET'S LOOK HERE.

"LOOK AT THE SKY.

THE SKY IS BLUE ON A SUNNY DAY."

MMM.

"LOOK AT THE SKY.

THE SKY IS GRAY ON A CLOUDY DAY."

MM-HMM.

"LOOK AT THE SKY.

"THE SKY IS ALSO GRAY ON A FOGGY DAY.

"LOOK AT THE SKY.

"THE SKY IS DARK ON A RAINY DAY.

"THE RAIN IS STOPPING.

"LOOK AT THE SKY.

YOU COULD SEE A RAINBOW!"

WHAT AN INTERESTING STORY.

SUPER LEARNERS, NOW, LOOK AT WHAT WE'VE WRITTEN HERE.

YES, THEY ARE SENTENCES.

AND WE HAVE TO FILL THEM IN WITH THE WORDS THAT ARE HERE ON THE OTHER SIDE.

ARE YOU READY, SUPER LEARNERS?

LET'S START WITH THE FIRST ONE.

COME READ WITH ME.

LET'S READ IT.

"THE SKY IS [ ] ON A SUNNY DAY."

WHAT WORD IS MISSING?

I'M GOING TO SAY THE WORD SLOWLY, AND YOU SAY IT QUICKLY, TO UNDERSTAND IT.

ON A SUNNY DAY, THE SKY IS... "AZUL" (BLUE).

BLUE.

TELL YOUR FRIEND.

GREAT.

AND HERE IS THE WORD "AZUL" (BLUE).

WATCH ME POINT TO EACH LETTER AND PRONOUNCE IT.

"[ah]... [s]... [ooh]...

[l]."

LET'S PUT IT IN OUR SENTENCE.

LET'S READ IT AGAIN.

"THE SKY IS BLUE ON A SUNNY DAY."

GOOD WORK.

AND WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO ON A SUNNY DAY?

OF COURSE.

PLAY IN THE PARK.

YES, WALK AND RUN.

YOU ALSO LIKE TO GO OUT TO PLAY.

GREAT, SUPER LEARNERS.

SUPER LEARNERS, NOW WE HAVE ANOTHER SENTENCE THAT WE'RE GOING TO READ.

"THE SKY IS [ ] ON A CLOUDY DAY."

LET'S READ IT AGAIN.

"THE SKY IS [ ] ON A CLOUDY DAY."

WHAT COLOR DOES THE SKY TURN ON A CLOUDY DAY?

LISTEN TO ME SAY THE WORD, AND TELL YOUR FRIEND.

ON A CLOUDY DAY, THE SKY IS "GRIS" (GRAY).

TELL YOUR FRIEND.

"GRIS."

AMAZING.

HERE IS THE WORD "GRIS," AND WATCH ME PRONOUNCE IT.

[g]... [r]... [ee]... [s].

LET'S PUT IT IN OUR SENTENCE AND READ IT.

"THE SKY IS GRAY ON A CLOUDY DAY."

SUPER LEARNERS, WHAT CAN WE DO ON A CLOUDY DAY?

YES, WE CAN ALSO PLAY OUTSIDE.

AND WHAT ELSE DO YOU LIKE TO DO?

YES, WATCH HOW CLOUDS FORM.

INCREDIBLE, SUPER LEARNERS.

NOW, HERE WE HAVE ANOTHER SENTENCE, SUPER LEARNERS.

"THE SKY IS ALSO [ ] ON A FOGGY DAY."

LET'S READ IT AGAIN.

"THE SKY IS ALSO [ ] ON A FOGGY DAY."

WHAT COLOR DOES THE SKY TURN ON A FOGGY DAY?

I'LL SAY IT SLOWLY, AND YOU TELL YOUR STUFFIE.

"[g]... [r]... [ee]...

[s]."

(GRAY).

TELL YOUR FRIEND THE WORD.

"GRIS" (GRAY).

GOOD WORK, SUPER LEARNERS.

HERE IS THE WORD "GRIS" (GRAY).

WATCH ME PRONOUNCE IT.

"[g]... [r]... [ee]...

[s]."

NOW TELL YOUR FRIEND.

WHAT DID YOU SAY, SUPER LEARNERS?

OH, YES.

YOU REALIZED THAT IT'S THE SAME WORD, "GRIS."

LET'S PUT IT IN OUR SENTENCE.

AND LET'S READ THE NEW SENTENCE.

"THE SKY ALSO IS GRAY ON A FOGGY DAY."

AND WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO ON A FOGGY DAY?

AH, WE CAN STAY INSIDE AND WATCH THE FOG THROUGH THE WINDOW.

GREAT, SUPER LEARNERS.

AND WHAT HAPPENS AFTER IT RAINS?

YES!

WE CAN SEE A RAINBOW.

AND WHAT DOES THIS RAINBOW HAVE?

ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

A LOT OF COLORS.

CAN YOU NAME THE COLORS?

RIGHT, LET'S TELL OUR FRIENDS.

RED, YELLOW, ORANGE, GREEN, BLUE, AND PURPLE.

GOOD WORK, SUPER LEARNERS.

WE COMPLETED THE SENTENCES.

IT'S TIME TO MOVE OUR BODIES, AND WE'RE GOING TO SING THE RAIN SONG.

ARE WE READY?

FOLLOW US.

NOW, LET'S REMEMBER WHAT THE WEATHER WAS LIKE IN THE STORY.

YES, RAINY.

YES, CLOUDY.

AND SUNNY.

VERY GOOD, SUPER LEARNERS.

CLAUDIA, SUPER LEARNERS, WHAT HAPPENED TO THESE WORDS?

OH!

I DON'T KNOW.

LET'S LOOK, SUPER LEARNERS.

DO YOU KNOW?

YES, CORRECT.

GRACE, THEY ARE INCOMPLETE.

AND WE'LL ALL COMPLETE THEM TOGETHER, OKAY?

THEN, LET'S START.

SUPER LEARNERS, WHAT IS THE FIRST IMAGE WE HAVE HERE?

YES, "SOLEADO" (SUNNY).

LET'S LOOK ON THESE CARDS FOR THE FIRST SYLLABLE MISSING FROM OUR WORD.

VERY GOOD.

IT STARTS WITH THE LETTER "S" AND SOUNDS LIKE...

YES, VERY GOOD.

"[s]."

YES, THE LETTER "S" TOGETHER WITH "O" SOUNDS LIKE...?

"[so]."

VERY GOOD, SUPER LEARNERS.

TELL YOUR STUFFIES.

"[so]."

YES.

AND WHICH OF THESE CARDS HAS THE SYLLABLE "[so]"?

YES, VERY GOOD.

THIS ONE HAS THE SYLLABLE "[so]."

NOW, IN THIS IMAGE, SUPER LEARNERS, WHAT DO WE SEE?

VERY GOOD, A CLOUDY SKY.

LET'S LOOK FOR THE MISSING SYLLABLE ON THESE CARDS.

IT STARTS WITH THE LETTER...

VERY GOOD, "N." AND ITS SOUND IS?

"[n]," "[n]."

AND IF WE ADD A "U," IT SOUNDS LIKE...

VERY GOOD, SUPER LEARNERS.

"[new]."

LET'S TELL OUR STUFFIES.

"[new]."

WHICH OF THESE SYLLABLES HAS THE SYLLABLE "[new]"?

LOOK AT THE CARDS.

YES, THIS ONE.

VERY GOOD.

TELL YOUR STUFFIE.

AND OUR LAST PICTURE IS... "LLUVIOSO" (RAINY), YES.

VERY GOOD, SUPER LEARNERS.

LET'S LOOK FOR THE MISSING SYLLABLE ON THESE CARDS.

AND THE FIRST LETTER IS...

"LL."

VERY GOOD, SUPER LEARNERS.

AND IT SOUNDS LIKE...

YES.

AND IF WE ADD "U," HOW DOES IT SOUND?

"[joo]."

LET'S TELL OUR STUFFIES.

"[joo]."

VERY GOOD.

AND WHERE IS IT?

YES, HERE.

AND WHEN IT STOPS RAINING, WE CAN SEE... ?

WHAT CAN WE SEE IN THE SKY?

YES, A RAINBOW!

HOW FUN, SUPER LEARNERS.

WE WERE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THE INITIAL PHONEMES AND THEN COMPLETE THE WORDS.

NOW WE'RE GOING TO CHECK WITH KIRA TO SEE IF WE COMPLETED TODAY'S CHALLENGE.

HMM...

THE CHALLENGE... [gasps] WOW!

WE DID IT!

BRAVO!

THANKS TO YOU, SUPER LEARNERS, TODAY WE WERE ABLE TO READ A BOOK, REMEMBER WHAT IT TALKED ABOUT, AND RECOGNIZE NEW WORDS.

THANK YOU, SUPER LEARNERS, FOR FOLLOWING US ON TODAY'S CHALLENGE.

THANK YOU TOO, KIRA.

AND REMEMBER THAT IN ORDER TO READ... [both] WE MUST LEARN THE LETTERS AND THEIR SOUNDS.

i¡ADIÓS!

[applause] [man] ALRIGHT!

GOOD JOB!

GOOD JOB.

I READ SOMETHING THAT MADE ME GIGGLE.

A SHRIMP'S HEART IS LOCATED IN THEIR HEAD.

THAT'S REALLY DIFFERENT, RIGHT?

DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR HEART IS LOCATED?

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHERE LOVE COMES FROM.

NOW, LET'S PUT BOTH OUR HEADS AND OUR HEARTS TO USE IN THIS NEXT LESSON.

HERE IT GOES.

♪ HELLO, READERS.

MY NAME IS MS. JILL.

I'M SO EXCITED TO BE LEARNING WITH YOU TODAY.

BEFORE WE GET STARTED WITH OUR LEARNING, LET'S SAY HELLO WITH OUR WELCOME SONG.

[singing to tune of "Frère Jacques" ] TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO BE READING ALL ABOUT BALD EAGLES.

YOU MAY HAVE SEEN A BALD EAGLE BEFORE.

THEY ARE VERY WELL-KNOWN BIRDS, AND WE'RE GOING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THEM BY READING.

WE'RE ALSO GOING TO LEARN ABOUT HOW 2 TEXTS ON THE SAME TOPIC CAN BE SIMILAR AND DIFFERENT.

DIFFERENT TEXTS WRITTEN BY DIFFERENT AUTHORS MAY HELP US LEARN MORE ABOUT A TOPIC.

SO, TODAY, WE'LL USE A VENN DIAGRAM TO ORGANIZE FACTS FROM THE TEXTS.

AS YOU CAN SEE, A VENN HAS 2 CIRCLES THAT OVERLAP.

I'VE LABELED THIS PART ON THE LEFT "BALD EAGLE: AMERICAN SYMBOL."

THIS IS WHERE WE WILL PLACE INFORMATION AND FACTS THAT ARE ONLY IN THE FIRST TEXT WE READ.

ON THIS SIDE, I HAVE WRITTEN "PROTECT THE BALD EAGLE."

THIS IS WHERE WE'LL PLACE INFORMATION AND FACTS THAT ARE ONLY FROM THAT TEXT.

AND IN THE MIDDLE, WE WILL PLACE FACTS THAT ARE IN BOTH TEXTS.

YOU CAN DO THIS AT HOME, TOO.

IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE A VENN DIAGRAM, YOU CAN MAKE ONE, BY DRAWING 2 LARGE, OVERLAPPING CIRCLES ON A PAPER OR WHITEBOARD.

THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT.

YOU GOT THIS.

NOW, TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO READ THESE 2 TEXTS ABOUT BALD EAGLES.

AND AS WE READ EACH TEXT, WE'RE GOING TO LEARN MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THESE INTERESTING ANIMALS.

EVEN THOUGH BOTH TEXTS ARE ABOUT BALD EAGLES, THE TEXTS MAY HAVE SOME OF THE SAME INFORMATION AND SOME DIFFERENT INFORMATION.

THIS IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO THINK CAREFULLY ABOUT, AS WE READ AND LEARN FROM DIFFERENT INFORMATIONAL TEXTS.

BEFORE WE GET STARTED, DO YOU ALREADY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BALD EAGLES?

WHEN I COUNT TO 3, TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW.

1, 2, 3... WOW.

ONE THING I HEARD SOME FRIENDS SAY IS THAT BALD EAGLES ARE BIRDS.

AND SOMEONE SAID THAT, LIKE MOST BIRDS, EAGLES BUILD NESTS.

AS WE LEARN MORE FACTS AND INFORMATION FROM THE TEXTS, WE'LL RECORD THEM ON OUR VENN DIAGRAM.

I'M GOING TO READ THIS FIRST TEXT, AND IF I READ AN IMPORTANT FACT OR DETAIL ABOUT BALD EAGLES, I WILL UNDERLINE OR HIGHLIGHT IT SO I CAN REMEMBER TO REVISIT THAT PART OF THE TEXT LATER.

IF YOU HAVE THE TEXT AT HOME, YOU CAN FOLLOW ALONG THERE, AND EVEN UNDERLINE OR HIGHLIGHT YOUR OWN TEXT.

IF NOT, JUST FOLLOW ALONG ON THE SCREEN.

EITHER WAY, READ ALONG WITH ME.

HERE, I SEE A PHOTOGRAPH OF A BALD EAGLE.

I'M GOING TO HIGHLIGHT "SYMBOL OF THE UNITED STATES," BECAUSE THAT'S AN IMPORTANT FACT.

I'M HIGHLIGHTING THIS TOO, BECAUSE THAT MEANS THAT HERE IN NORTH AMERICA IS THEIR HOME.

I'M LEARNING A LOT OF NEW FACTS ABOUT BALD EAGLES.

BUT I HAVE TO DECIDE WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION, SO I'M GOING TO KEEP ON READING.

WOW.

THIS MEANS WHEN IT SPREADS ITS WINGS LIKE THIS, THEY CAN STRETCH 6 TO 8 FEET ACROSS.

THEY ARE LARGE BIRDS.

I'M GOING TO HIGHLIGHT "LARGE BIRDS."

HMM, "WHITE FEATHERS."

HIGHLIGHTING THAT.

OKAY, "AERIE" IS A BALD EAGLE'S NEST, AND THEY ARE "HIGH IN THE TREES."

HIGHLIGHTING "GOOD HUNTERS."

NOW, LET'S READ THE SECOND TEXT, SO WE CAN THINK ABOUT HOW THEY ARE SIMILAR AND DIFFERENT, AND LEARN MORE ABOUT BALD EAGLES.

I'M GOING TO HIGHLIGHT THAT IT IS THE "NATIONAL BIRD."

THAT'S AN IMPORTANT FACT.

HMM, "ONLY FOUND IN NATURE IN NORTH AMERICA."

HIGHLIGHTING.

OKAY.

"PREDATORS" AND THEY HUNT AND EAT "FISH."

OKAY, "THEY WERE ENDANGERED," MEANING THERE WERE FEW OF THEM LEFT IN NATURE, BUT NOW, THEY ARE "NO LONGER CONSIDERED THREATENED."

HIGHLIGHTING THAT FACT.

ALRIGHT, LET'S TAKE A MINUTE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE READ AND WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED.

HOW ARE THESE 2 TEXTS THE SAME?

HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT?

THINK... NOW, TELL ONE WAY THEY ARE THE SAME, AND ONE WAY THEY ARE DIFFERENT.

ON THE COUNT OF 3, YOU CAN TELL SOMEONE AT HOME WITH YOU, OR YOU CAN TELL ME.

1, 2, 3... MM-HMM...

EXCELLENT THINKING, READERS.

THESE TEXTS ARE THE SAME IN THAT THEY ARE BOTH ABOUT BALD EAGLES.

AND THEY BOTH HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS TOO, SOMEONE MENTIONED.

THEY SHARE SOME SIMILAR INFORMATION, BUT THEY ALSO SHARE SOME DIFFERENT FACTS.

NOW, WE ARE GOING TO TAKE THE INFORMATION WE LEARNED FROM EACH BALD EAGLE TEXT TO COMPLETE OUR VENN DIAGRAM.

BY FOCUSING ON THE SPECIFIC FACTS IN THE DIFFERENT TEXTS, WE CAN THINK MORE CAREFULLY ABOUT HOW THEY ARE SIMILAR AND HOW THEY ARE DIFFERENT.

IF THE FACT WAS ONLY IN THE FIRST TEXT, WE'LL PUT IT IN THE LEFT PART OF OUR VENN DIAGRAM.

IF THE FACT WAS ONLY IN THE SECOND TEXT, WE'LL PUT IT IN THE RIGHT SIDE OF OUR VENN DIAGRAM.

AND IF THE FACT WAS IN BOTH TEXTS, WE'LL ADD IT TO THE MIDDLE OF OUR VENN DIAGRAM, WHERE THE 2 CIRCLES OVERLAP.

NOW, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HELP ME OUT A BIT MORE AS WE COMPLETE THIS VENN DIAGRAM.

LET'S LOOK BACK AT THE FIRST TEXT, "BALD EAGLE, AN AMERICAN SYMBOL."

THIS TEXT HAD LOTS OF FACTS AND INFORMATION ABOUT BALD EAGLES.

THE FIRST THING I HIGHLIGHTED WAS THAT BALD EAGLES ARE A SYMBOL OF THE UNITED STATES.

I'M GOING TO PUT THAT INFORMATION IN THE VENN DIAGRAM.

WHEN I COUNT TO 3, POINT TO THE SECTION IN THE VENN DIAGRAM WHERE I SHOULD PLACE THIS CARD.

WAS IT IN THE FIRST TEXT, THE SECOND TEXT, OR THE MIDDLE?

1, 2, 3... POINT.

GOOD THINKING.

WE CAN PUT THIS FACT IN THE MIDDLE, BECAUSE IT WAS MENTIONED IN THE FIRST TEXT THAT THE BALD EAGLE WAS A SYMBOL OF THE U.S., BUT ALSO IN THE SECOND TEXT.

NOW, LOOK CAREFULLY AT THAT TEXT AGAIN.

WHAT OTHER INFORMATION DID WE LEARN IN THIS FIRST TEXT?

ON THE COUNT OF 3, YOU CAN TELL SOMEONE AT HOME OR TELL ME.

1, 2, 3...

YES, SO MANY GREAT IDEAS.

I HEARD SOMEONE SAY THAT EAGLES ARE LARGE BIRDS.

I HAVE THAT FACT HERE, AND I'M GOING TO ADD IT TO THE VENN DIAGRAM.

WAS THIS INFORMATION IN THE FIRST TEXT, THE SECOND TEXT, OR BOTH?

ON THE COUNT OF 3, POINT TO THE SECTION WHERE I SHOULD ADD "LARGE BIRDS."

1, 2, 3... POINT.

GREAT.

THIS FACT GOES IN THE "BALD EAGLE: AN AMERICAN SYMBOL" SECTION, BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY MENTIONED IN THE FIRST TEXT.

NOW, LET'S LOOK BACK AT OUR SECOND TEXT, "PROTECT THE BALD EAGLE."

REMEMBER, EVEN THOUGH THIS TEXT WAS ALSO ABOUT BALD EAGLES, IT GAVE US SOME DIFFERENT INFORMATION.

THE FIRST THING I UNDERLINED WAS THAT THE BALD EAGLE IS OUR NATIONAL BIRD.

WE ALREADY ADDED THAT FACT TO OUR DIAGRAM, THAT THE BALD EAGLE IS A SYMBOL OF THE U.S., AND BECAUSE IT IS THE NATIONAL BIRD, IT'S A SYMBOL OF OUR COUNTRY.

THESE ARE SIMILAR FACTS, SO THAT'S HERE IN THE MIDDLE.

SO, LET'S LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE REST OF THE TEXT.

WHICH OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION DID WE UNDERLINE OR HIGHLIGHT?

ON THE COUNT OF 3, TELL SOMEONE AT HOME OR TELL ME.

1, 2, 3... GOOD THINKING.

SOME OF YOU SAID THAT EAGLES EAT FISH.

I'M GOING TO ADD THIS FACT TO THE VENN DIAGRAM.

WAS THIS INFORMATION IN THE FIRST TEXT, THE SECOND TEXT, OR BOTH?

ON THE COUNT OF 3, YOU SHOULD POINT TO THE SECTION WHERE I SHOULD ADD "EAT FISH."

1, 2, 3... POINT.

GOOD JOB.

THIS FACT GOES IN THE "PROTECT THE BALD EAGLE" SECTION, BECAUSE WE READ ABOUT IT ONLY IN THE SECOND TEXT.

THE FIRST TEXT DIDN'T MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT EAGLES EATING FISH.

I ALSO HEARD SOME OF YOU SAY THAT I HIGHLIGHTED "EAGLES ARE ONLY FOUND IN NATURE IN NORTH AMERICA."

I'M GOING TO ADD THAT FACT TO OUR VENN DIAGRAM TOO.

WAS THIS INFORMATION IN THE FIRST TEXT, THE SECOND TEXT, OR BOTH?

ON THE COUNT OF 3, POINT TO THE SECTION WHERE I SHOULD ADD "ONLY FOUND IN NATURE IN NORTH AMERICA."

1, 2, 3... GOOD THINKING.

THIS FACT MEANS ABOUT THE SAME THING AS NATIVE TO NORTH AMERICA, WHICH WE READ ABOUT IN THE FIRST TEXT.

SO, THIS GOES IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR DIAGRAM.

CAN YOU THINK OF ANOTHER FACT YOU LEARNED TODAY ABOUT BALD EAGLES?

SAY IT ALOUD ON THE COUNT OF 3.

1, 2, 3... YOU ALL ARE SUCH SMART COOKIES.

YOU REMEMBERED SO MANY AMAZING FACTS ABOUT BALD EAGLES.

GREAT LISTENING.

HERE ARE SOME MORE IDEAS THAT I CAME UP WITH THAT WE FOUND IN THE TEXTS.

"WHITE FEATHERS," "GOOD HUNTERS," "WAS ENDANGERED BUT NO LONGER THREATENED."

NOW THAT WE'VE FILLED IN OUR VENN DIAGRAM, YOU'VE DONE SOME EXCELLENT READING AND THINKING WITH ME TODAY.

TOGETHER, WE LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT BALD EAGLES, CREATED A VENN DIAGRAM TO COMPARE AND CONTRAST 2 TEXTS THAT WE READ, AND WE ALSO LEARNED THAT YOU CAN READ 2 TEXTS ABOUT THE SAME TOPIC, AND THOSE TEXTS MAY HAVE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES.

WE CAN LEARN MORE AND THINK MORE DEEPLY ABOUT A TOPIC BY READING MULTIPLE TEXTS ABOUT THAT TOPIC AND COMPARING AND CONTRASTING WHAT WE LEARNED FROM EACH TEXT.

YOU CAN DO THIS ANYTIME YOU READ MORE THAN ONE TEXT ABOUT A TOPIC.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING WITH ME TODAY, AND SEE YOU NEXT TIME.

TODAY'S AFFIRMATION IS... SAY IT WITH ME.

WELL, IT'S TIME TO GO, BUT I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU NEXT TIME.

HOPE YOU LEARNED A LOT TODAY, AND EVERY DAY.

WISHING YOU PEACE, LOVE, AND LOTS OF LEARNING.
