(cheerful music) - Good afternoon, campers.

Welcome back to Teaching In Room 9, our Summertime edition.

My name is Julia.

I'm a second grade teacher at the Seward school, but here for teaching in room 9, my lessons focus on phonemic awareness.

So let's go ahead and jump right in friends.

All you need to follow along today is that big beautiful brain of yours.

All right, learners, so We're gonna start by reviewing everything we've learned here together so far.

So let's really warm up that brain.

Go ahead and tickle those brain in friends.

All right, let's get ready to review everything we've learned.

And then we'll jump into this week's theme.

So I mentioned my last sets are focused on phonemic awareness.

What is phonemic awareness?

Well, phonemes are the smallest units of sounds that letters make.

We know that letters have sounds and that they come together to make the words that we can say read or write.

We've really been practicing, been reading scientists, dissecting words, to look at all the letters and the sounds that we hear and the letter patterns and how they all come together in many ways to make words that we can read or write.

So, when we started here this summer together friends, we started in learning all about rhyming words.

Will you go ahead and sing our rhyming word song along with me?

Okay.

To the tune of "If you're happy and you know it", (singing) Rhyming words are words that have the same sounds.

They have to end in the same way.

Rhyming words have the same vowel sound and the same sounds at the very end.

(end of singing) Very good friends.

I can tell some of you remember that from before.

So we learned that rhyming words have that same vowel sound in the same sounds at the end.

Then we took our learning a step further and we took that rhyme.

Those ending sounds.

And we started switching out the onset, all the letters and sounds that come before the rhyme.

And we also learned that words that have the same rhyme are a part of word families.

Then we practiced that stretchy snake decoding strategy, where you stretch out a word to look at all the letters and sounds that we hear, we looked at the sounds that come in the beginning of words in the middle, and at the end.

We also focused on consonant blends.

So consonants blends, glide together in your mouth, but you hear all sounds and you can find blinds In the beginning of words, and at the end as well.

We also focused on long and short vowel sounds and all the different ways that we can hear bowel sounds in words.

Again, it is so important for us to practice working with words, looking at all the parts and sounds, and practice manipulating or changing around some of those sounds in order to help us be better readers and writers.

So today friends, we are going to be focusing on our diagraphs.

And if you couldn't tell, we have a fantastic underwater theme this week.

So we are focusing on consonants this week.

So not all vowel sounds and consonants that come together to make one sound, which is our diagraph here.

So my friends that takes us to our learning goal for this week.

Would you go ahead and say this along with me?

All right.

Repeat after me.

Nice and loud.

I want to hear you out.

I can know my consonant diagraphs.

Very good.

I can understand that diagraphs make one sound.

Very good learners.

So as always, we're gonna practice by doing my favorite activity, which is of course mirrors on.

And just to remind yourself, when I say, mirrors on, you're gonna follow along with everything I say and do until I say, mirrors off.

Are you ready to go ahead and try?

All right.

Mirrors on.

A diagraph, is two or more letters that come together to make one sound.

C H, CH.

Atchoum.

T H, FF or Lll.

Think S H, Shhh.

Shark W H, Whoa!

What.

Mirror's off.

That was a really great friends.

So if you couldn't tell those diapraphs that we practiced are the same diagraphs that we have here in our chart.

And I tried to keep it with our underwater theme.

So I thought of some words that we could add to our chart here that have diagraphs in them, but they're a part of our underwater theme.

So think in your brain friends, go ahead and put your thinking caps on, turn your listening ears up and think really hard.

What are some words that are ocean words or underwater words that have a diagraph in that?

And we're going to start here with shh shh.

So C, H, Ch, Atchoum!

What do you see a picture of right here?

Yeah, you're absolutely right.

A chest.

Very good.

Let's add that right here.

Let's do the sounds on our fingers.

Ch-e-ss-th.

Blend it.

Chest Very good.

Was another beach or underwater word, that has that ch sound.

Yeah, that was fantastic.

I try to give you a little hint and the word beach has that C H sound at the end.

So just add the CH in the beginning.

This one has it at the end.

Sounds up.

B-ee-CH.

Blend it.

Beach.

So even though, we have five letters that EA come together to make that long E sound.

And then the C H come together to make the CH sounds.

We actually only have three sounds.

All right.

Can you think of any other ones?

Yeah.

I kind of thought when you think about the beach, I think about some of the beach goers as well.

And I thought maybe one of them might be sitting in a chair.

Very good.

So again, that CH, is in the beginning.

Sounds up, Ch-a-uh-r.

Blend it, chair.

Very good.

Alright.

Here's the last one I had this one in my brain.

You might have heard of this and maybe you haven't.

So I'll go ahead and give you this one.

I thought the word CH CH, chum.

Chum.

Can I get a, me too if you've heard that word before?

Great.

Yeah.

I'm seeing some friends giving a me too.

You can give me a no if you haven't heard it.

That's okay.

Chum is basically it's fishing bait.

So people are going fishing.

They might use Chum.

Which is like different parts of fish in order to attract fishes to come to your fishing line.

So here's our word.

I'm gonna put it up here.

All right.

Sounds up.

Ch-uh-mm.

Blend it.

Chum.

Very good.

Alright.

We're going to go down to this friend right here, which is T H, Fff, or Lllll.

And our word that we had in our mirrors on was Think, Alright.

What do you think?

Maybe that picture I have here?

I see like an underwater scene.

What word might I be thinking of that has that "ff" sound in it?

Any guesses?

Wow.

I can tell that some of my friends were thinking the same way that I was.

It's okay if you didn't get this one, this one was a little bit tricky.

I thought of the word depth.

Can you say that with me?

Depth, very good.

Which just means deep.

What is the depth of the ocean?

It's very, very deep, right?

So here's the word Depth.

And that's what our picture is here.

It's like the depth that goes all the way to the ocean floor sounds up.

Du-ee-peu-fff.

Blend it.

Depth.

Very good.

Alright.

Any other ones you can think of?

So my next 2, the ones that I came up with, I thought of my shark friend here.

What do you think I might be thinking of with my shark friend that has that "FFF" sound in it?

Very good.

I heard a friend say teeth, right?

Sharks have so many teeth and they're all super sharp and pointy right.

Teeth.

Okay.

Let's add it to our short.

Sounds up.

T-ee-fff.

Blend it.

Teeth.

Very good.

And all of those teeth, those very sharp, teeth have to live somewhere.

Where do they live?

What word might I be thinking of?

That has the same sound in it.

What do you think?

Yeah, (laugh) I thought mouth, right?

All those sharpened brilliant teeth have to live inside the mouth of the shark.

Alright.

Sounds up friends.

Mm-aou-fff.

Blend it.

Mouth.

Very good.

And the last one I was thinking of, if we might have a storm and whenever there's a big storm, the ocean really has a lot of waves that go crashing around.

What word do you think I might be thinking of that has to do with a storm that has that "FFF" sound in it.

Yeah.

You nailed it.

Thunder.

Very good.

That's what I thought.

Thunder.

Okay.

Sounds up friends.

FFF-eu-mmm-duh-eur.

Blend it.

Thunder.

Very good.

Now, if you remember from our mirrors on, we said T H, FF or LLL.

T H, is a little tricky because it makes that FF sound.

Can you make that one with me?

FF FF So my tongue is sticking between my teeth and I'm pushing air out as I kind of blow forward.

Teeth.

Or it also makes a voiced sound, meaning that our voice box is moving.

So go ahead and put your hand right here on your throat.

Oh I heard another one there.

Throat.

(laugh) And we're going to make the voice TH sound out.

And it says Llll, can you do that with me?

Llll.

Very good.

So my tongue is still sticking out, but instead of air coming out, my mouth is a little more closed.

So it really tickles your tongue or tickles your teeth, That's how you're doing it.

Try it one more time.

Llll.

So the two sounds are FFF, LLLl.

Very good.

Alright.

Now we're going to come down to this friend here, which is a what?

(laugh) Yeah.

You got it.

It was a shark, a Shhh, shark.

So we have S H shh and shark.

Very good.

Alright.

What are some other S H words that could may be here when you're thinking of ocean or underwater?

Ooh.

I heard a friend say, I thought of this one too.

Fish.

Right?

There's so many fish under water and the ocean.

Okay.

So let's do the sounds in our fingers for that one.

Fff-ee-shhh.

Blend it.

Fish.

Very good.

Alright.

What's another word that you can think of?

Ooh, very good.

I heard a friend say, shell.

Okay let's see our sounds.

Shh-eeh-lll.

Blend it.

Shell.

Very good.

Any other words you can think of that have that sound in it?

Oh, good, so like the waves are crashing and rolling into the shore.

Very good.

Like the shore is where the water from the ocean meets the beach.

So our sounds, Shh-oore.

Whoa, just two sounds.

Do it again.

Shhh-oore.

Blend it.

Shore.

Very good.

So we have the diagraph SH in the beginning and then we have magic E which makes that, oh, that long vowel sound.

And it's also an example of a bossy R, O R, ooor, so, just sh-or, shore.

Alright.

Then I thought again about my beach goers and I thought when they're in the water, they kind of play around and they might, Yes.

Splash.

Split and splash in the water.

Alright.

Let's do our sounds.

Ss-puh-lll-ah-sh.

That's a blend there.

Blend it all together.

Splash.

Very good.

Now I'm going to go back to my teeth for my shark.

So they have so many teeth and they might be very sharp.

Very good.

My sharp, sharp teeth.

That's quite a mouthful.

Alright let's do our sounds.

Sh-ar-puh.

Blend it.

Sharp.

Very good.

And last but not least this one, This one I had a lot of ones that I could think of.

When you're in the ocean.

You might see coming your way, like floating on the ocean.

Maybe a?

Yeah.

Ship.

Very good.

Let's do our sounds.

Sh-ee-puh.

Blend it, ship.

Very good.

Alright.

A very last one down here.

What do we think it is?

Yeah.

A whale.

Our diagraph is that Whoa.

W H Whoa, and what?

Very good.

So we have a whale was my first one.

That was the first one I could think of.

Okay.

We're going to add it to our chart and then let's do our sounds.

Who-aai-lll.

Blend it.

Whale.

Very good.

Alright.

Any other ones that you can think of?

So the next one I thought of, had to do with a type of sharks.

Can you think of it?

Yeah.

You might've known that one type of shark is a great white, white, that color white.

Whoa-ai-tee.

Blend it.

White.

Very good.

So they both come in the beginning there.

Then I thought of an animal that lives in the ocean and it has a big horn.

Almost like a unicorn.

What animal might've I thinking of?

Yeah.

You got it.

A narwhal.

So this time the WH, the woa, sound is actually in the middle of the word.

So sounds up, let's put it on our fingers.

Nuh-or-whoa-all.

Blend it.

Narwhal.

Very good.

All right, two more that I can think of.

I thought of on the beach, there might be a life guard.

And if he or she saw something and they wanted to keep the beach goers safe, they might blow a?

Yeah.

A whistle.

Alright, let's do our sounds again.

Now our WHOA is in the beginning of the word.

Whoa-ee-ss-ll.

Blend it.

Whistle.

Now the last word that I can think of, you maybe have heard of it.

Maybe you haven't, but it's kind of another word for like a dock.

Like if you are going out on the dock, like the wooden boards, and then they're supported on like, columns that are standing up underneath, and that way you can kind of go out into the ocean or fish in the ocean, things like that.

So another word for a dock is a Wharf.

A Wharf.

Can I get a me too if you knew that word?

Yeah.

So I'm seeing some friends have heard it.

Some friends are going no.

Now, that's okay.

Here's our word Wharf again, That WH is in the beginning of our word.

And we're going to do our sounds on our fingers.

Whoa-or-ff.

Wharf.

Very good.

So this time we've got that A R which normally for bossy R says Orr, but it's not Whorf.

It's Wharf.

So almost like it's an OR bossy R. Very good friends.

And as always, I've got some ocean songs that I thought we can sing together.

So go ahead and turn those listening ears up, because I really want you to be listening for examples of diagraphs that we found in the song.

Okay.

So the first one is called ocean.

And the tune is taking out to the ballgame.

Alright.

Are you ready?

Try to sing along with me.

If you can or jump in whenever you feel comfortable.

(singing) Take me out to the ocean.

Take me out to the sea.

Show me the foamy waves.

Rolling there.

As I breathe in the salty air, let me look, look, look at the ocean.

See the sea and explore.

For it's fun to dive from the top to the ocean floor.

Very good friends.

Anybody hear examples of diagraphs in there?

Ah, okay.

I'm hearing one friend say, show me, show me the foamy waves.

So the word THE, does it have a diagraph in it?

Yeah.

It's that voiced.

T H. So we've got a couple of those in it.

Then we also have the word show.

Has that S H, Shh, in the beginning of it.

Alright.

Let's go ahead and sing it again one more time and see if you can hear, okay.

Take me out to the ocean.

Take me out to the sea.

Show me the foamy waves.

Rolling there.

As I breathe in the salty air.

Let me look, look, look at the, ocean.

See the sea and explore for it's fun to dive from the top to the, ocean floor.

very good.

Did you hear any diagraphs there?

Yeah.

Oh I heard a friend say, There, there, so Thhu, and there.

Have that voiced T H sound.

And there is many examples of the word THE, and then we have rolling there and we had that SHH in show.

Any other ones you could hear?

All very good.

The only other one that we haven't mentioned already is the word breathe.

(singing) As I breathe in the salty air.

Breathe.

So it has that TH towards the end of the word.

Very good friends.

Alright.

There's one more song for us to sing here together.

And the tune is the wheels on the bus.

And this is called the waves in the sea.

The waves in the seat go up and down, up and down, up and down.

The waves in the sea go up and down, all day long.

The sharks in the sea go Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, Sharks in the sea go snap, snap snap, all day long.

The fish in the sea go swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, the fish in the sea go.

Swish, swish, swish, all day long.

And last one, the boats in the sea.

Go tuut, tuut, tuut, tuut, tuut, tuut, the boats and the sea go tuut, tuut, all day long.

Very good friends.

Let's go ahead and sing it one more time.

So maybe if you missed it the first time, really have those listening ears turned up.

We're listening for our diagrahs.

CH, FF, or THH, SHH and WHOA.

Okay.

The waves in the sea go up and down, up and down, up and down, the waves in the sea go up and down all day long.

The sharks in the sea go snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap.

The sharks in the sea go snap snap, all day long.

The fish in the sea go swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish.

The fish in the sea go swish, swish, swish, all day long.

Last one.

The boats in the sea Go to tuut,tuut,tuut.

The boats in the sea go tuut, tuut, tuut, all day long.

Alright.

Amazing job friends.

Did you hear some diagraphs?

Ooh, very good listening.

I heard a friend say the word THE, again, is that voiced THHH.

There's a couple of examples there.

Like THE waves in THE sea.

Any other ones that you heard?

Yeah, we have the SH.

(singing) Sharks in the sea go.

Snap snap.

Yeah.

Sharks has that SH in the beginning.

Oh, very good.

I also heard a friend say the fish in the sea go swish, swish, swish.

So we got both the words there, actually have the same rhyme.

That fish rhyme.

The vowel EH, and the SH, diagraph at the end.

So fiSH and switCH have the diagraphs in them.

Very good friends.

Alright.

I'm going to go ahead and share my screen here.

Oh, I heard another one.

Share.

(laugh).

And we are going to project us some underwater diagraphs here.

Okay.

Let's see friends.

I've got some examples, some underwater things here.

Alright.

What diagraph do you think I'm thinking of for this picture here?

So all of them are going to have this little friend here with the treasure chest behind it.

So we've got that CH, chest again.

But then the picture in here is the diagraph that we're looking for.

So what diagraph is this one here?

Shout it out for me, friends.

Yeah.

You knew this one.

Wha, wha.

Whale is that, Whoa, whoa.

W H very good.

Alright.

Let's do this one.

What do we think?

Yeah.

So I heard a friend say cat or kitten.

Those don't have that diagraph in there, but then I see right here, the arrow is pointing to the what?

On the cat?

Yeah, the whiskers.

Whoa, whoa, whiskers.

Very good.

Right?

What about this one?

Friends.

Shout it out for me.

What is that?

Yeah, it's a ch cherry.

Very good.

Okay.

What about this one here?

Yeah.

I heard a friend say boats and it is a boat, but again, boat.

Does that have a diagraph?

No, it doesn't.

Which word for this has the diagraph in it?

Yeah.

Very good, ship.

Very good.

Okay.

Anybody know what this picture is here?

Oh, very good.

I'm hearing some different words.

I heard a friend say spool or a yarn, but again, those don't have diagraphs, but a word that does have a diagraph for this picture is the word FFF, FFF, thread.

Very good.

Okay.

We've got a couple left friends.

Okay.

What do we see here?

I noticed to the base picture here has another arrow.

So it's not focused on the eraser here.

It's pointing to the?

Yeah.

Very good, CH CH chalk.

Has the CH diagraph in the beginning there.

What about this one?

Yeah.

This was an easy one.

Right?

We have CH CH, cheese.

Can I get a me too if you love cheese?

Definitely me too on that one.

I love cheese.

All right.

A couple more.

So this one here.

Yeah.

Our life got on the beach, we have a, Whoa, whoa, Whistle.

W H, whoa.

Very good.

Alright.

What about this one here?

Friends.

I see a tree again.

I've got an arrow here pointing downward.

What do you think the diagraph word is for this?

Yeah.

SH, shadow.

And last one here again, I see an arrow pointing to a specific part on this rose and it is the, FFF, thorn.

TH comes together to say, FF or VV.

We know that this sort of makes that sound.

Very good.

I'll stop sharing my screen now.

Amazing job friends.

So again, just to review a diagraph is when two or more letters come together to make one sound.

And the examples we practiced today are CH, TH or SH and WH.

Amazing job.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, friends.

You should be so proud of yourself.

I'm so super proud of you.

You did fantastic.

Hope you have a great rest of your day.

I'll see you next time.

Bye.
