- Hello again, first-grade learners.

Today on "Read, Write, Roar!"

we are going to be finding a mystery word while we do word building.

We are also going to be doing some reading and looking for I-R and U-R patterns that make the er sound.

Finally, we're going to be listening to a story and finding the important parts of the story.

Are you ready?

Let's get started with "Read, Write, Roar!"

(upbeat music) Hello there, first grades learners.

It's time to be word builders, and more than word builders, It's time to be mystery word solvers.

In order to get ready, you're going to need something to write with and you're going to need something to write on.

Because you're going to be making your columns, and writing a number three, four, five, and six at the top, where you're splitting your paper up, and then you're going to need one of each of these letters.

So go grab your something to write with and a piece of paper so we can get started.

(upbeat music) The first word we're going to build has three letters and it has two sounds.

The word is fir.

And I'm thinking about a tree, a fir tree.

An evergreen tree with needles sounds f ir what letters do we have that could make those sounds?

F, Yes, you've got it letter F find your F at home.

I found my F and I'm putting it in my building spot ir, what letters we have that make the ir sound.

That would look right for a fir tree.

Yes.

I and R We've been working on our R control vowels.

When that R makes the vowel changes it's sound it's name F-IR, F I R spells fir, write that down at home under three letter words, or you can point at mine and do some sky writing F I R wonderful job.

I'm gonna clear my board and put my letter's back.

You can clear yours at your place too.

The next word we're going to do is the word 'her' she let me borrow her pencil H-ER, two sounds but there are three letters.

What letter would make the H sound?

Yes.

That's letter H you've got it.

What letters would make the er sound?

It's another pattern that can say er, but it's not I R and we haven't really learned about this pattern a lot yet.

Can you figure it out?

You got it.

It's E and R can say the er sound as well.

H E R spell's her.

Let's add her under our three letter words collumn and you can sky write at home.

If you're not writing with a pencil today.

I'm gonna clear my board again.

Are you thinking about words?

That could be the mystery word.

Words, that mean like working together, Being nice to each other.

Keep thinking about that.

The next word we're going to make is end, E N D end, Three sounds three letters e what letter's that?

Yes.

That's letter E. n What letter?

Right letter N. And d what letter, D you've got it.

E N D spells end.

Can you write end on your chart at home or sky write it using my letters to help you out.

Now I am going to add end right here.

You know that we know how to spell end.

We are going to keep it up there and we're going to take the three letter word end and turn it into the four letter word send.

I love to send letters to my family.

S e n d send, what letter would we put up here?

You've got it.

Letter S, all we have to do to change this word from end to send is add the letter S. S E N D. Can you write send under your number four?

Because it has four letters, wonderful job.

The next word that we're going to make we have to clear our whole board.

This next word is ship.

The ship travelled across the sea, sh I p ship.

The first sound is made with two letters.

What two letters say sh?

Yes, s and h together, say sh.

what do you hear next?

Sh i p right letter I say's i and the p That's letter P, excellent job.

S H I P spell's ship.

Can you write ship under your four letter column where you are?

I'm going to add ship here.

Now I'm going to clear my board.

Only a couple of words left.

Have you been thinking about that mystery word?

a compound word.

That means it's two little words together to make one.

And it has to do with being kind, working together.

Hm.

This next word is the word pride.

When you can be proud and feel good inside about something you've done, then you can have pride.

You might hear pride.

Also.

When thinking about lions a group of lions would be called the pride.

Let's do the sounds pride.

p-r-i-d four sounds but there are five letter's.

P, that one, my letter S fell, sorry.

We've got p, P. r, P R together blending say pr.

Then we have I, pri... d, you've got the letter D, Now this would say prid, and I don't hear another sound but there has to be another letter here.

That's gonna help that I say I do you know what it is?

Got it.

Yes.

Letter E is gonna go at the end.

And now this word says pride.

P R I D E. You should have a lot of pride for doing a great job using what you know about letters and sounds to build today.

Do your sky writing or write at home.

And I'm gonna add this under, five letter words.

Now I'm gonna clear my board, but be thinking about what we just did when we built this word.

And now we're going to make the word shine.

When you're full of pride, you can shine like the sun shine.

Sh-I-ne there are three sounds, but there are five letters.

First sound.

Sh we did that before, right?

Good that's S and H that says sh.

I, that's gonna be a letter I. N, right that's letter N and this would say shin How can I make it say shine?

Yes.

We need to add the letter E at the end.

S H I N E that spells shine.

Can you write shine at home?

And we're going to add shine up here.

All right.

I'm clearing my board and we are at that point, we're making the last word that's gonna really help us do our mystery word.

This last word, is friend.

Can you say friend?

friend is a great word, but it can be tricky, a little bit to spell.

Let's do the sounds we hear, f r e n d, The first sound f, yes that's letter F and the next sound r that's gonna be our letter R. Now there's a silent letter that we don't hear in friend.

And I'm just going to tell you what it is.

Letter I goes in there next.

Let's do the rest of the word though.

We have fr, and then the word end is at the end of friend do you remember how to spell end?

Can you find it up here?

Yes.

Here it is E N D. We can just add those letters right here.

So we just spelled the word friend.

I'm going to move this over.

And I bet that you're thinking, I hope that you're maybe getting some hints about our mystery word.

That means working together, being kind, being a team being good to one another.

Do you know how we could take these letters that are left and add them to friend to make the big mystery reword while you're thinking?

I would add the word friend up here under six letters, F R I E N D. Did you figure it out.

Yes.

Friendship is our mystery word today.

We've been learning about friendship.

And being good to one another.

And today you all did a wonderful work, a wonderful job discovering friendship with the mystery word and building all these other words.

Let's spell friendship F R I E N D S H I P friendship.

The first part is friend.

The second part is ship and when we put them together we get the big word friendship.

Wonderful job today.

Word builders, mystery word solvers wishing you a great day and keep looking for more patterns that you can find that might have those IR ER or UR er sounds that we've talked about and think about way's you can be a good friend.

Have a great day.

(upbeat music) - Hello, amazing learners.

Welcome back to read, right, roar.

(roar echo) My name is Ms. Rogers of course.

And I'm coming back to let you know that we have some wonderful things in store.

We're going to be reading a story called Together we can, and it talks about friendship.

But remember I told you that in our classroom we're trying to be a very good community and that we want to love each other and show respect.

So I wanted to let you know that I actually did put it up on our wall.

So our class in order to be great friends and to help each other, we have that we're going to be thankful.

Listen, happy about coming to school, caring, learning using our manners, even on television, right?

(laughing) And then we're also going to have courage courage to share your thoughts.

Even if you think I can't hear you.

So those are some of the things that we thought that would describe our class which are adjectives.

Together we can, by Caryl Hart and Ali Pye.

A friend is a buddy, a pal or a mate, a person who's special, who makes you feel great.

They're fun to hang out with, at home, school, or play.

They're there when you need them, they cheer up your day.

A friend might help out when your classwork is tricky or scratch your right ear.

If your hands are all sticky.

At school you might sit with a new friend for lunch and share your snacks with a loud munch, crunch, crunch.

At playtime, a friend will take turns on the slide, or count up to ten, when it's your turn to hide.

Now, how would it be if you were to play hide and seek by yourself?

Now that wouldn't be fun at all, would it?

So friendship is very important.

Our friends are all different, but one thing is true.

Each one is quite precious.

And that includes you.

All over the world, From since time began, we show every day that together we can.

Some friends look the same.

Like these two little boys, they both have short hair and they like the same toys.

but friends can be different and still get along.

There aren't any rules.

There is no right or wrong.

Do you and your friends like to do different things?

That's good.

Some friends speak a language we don't understand.

They still laugh together, and walk hand in hand.

Some people need gadgets to help them have fun whatever they use.

they're great friends each and everyone.

I think it's interesting that these friends decided to do an activity that would include this little boy right here on the loops here.

I think that's really important.

So why do you think they chose that activity?

Some people have one friend and others have many.

Perhaps you know someone who doesn't have any?

If someone is lonely, there's lots you can do.

To make them feel better, Just be a friend too!

All over the world from since time began, we show every day that together we can.

Some friends are nearby.

They can play every day.

while others are distant.

they live far away.

All over the globe, there are people who care.

Just look and you'll see, there are friends everywhere.

We meet brand new people, whatever we go.

Look, here are some friends you might not yet know.

And friends can have six legs or four legs or two.

What kind of friend is the best one for you?

Now, Do you know any humans that have five, ten, fifteen legs or seven or eight legs?

So I wonder what they're talking about here.

Oh, okay.

I see they're talking about insects and cats and dogs and different types of animals.

Okay, So they can be friends for you as well.

All over the world and from since time began, we show every day that together we can.

If you want a friend, here's a thing you should know.

We make friends.

It's easy.

Just give it a go.

Find someone you like and just ask them their name.

Invite them to lunch or to join in your game.

If someone is sad, you can give them a cuddle, or help them get out of a difficult muddle.

That's like a sticky situation.

Something that they need help getting out of.

Try baking some cupcakes or make a nice card.

See?

making a friend really isn't too hard.

A good friend like you forgives any mistakes, when you're wrong, say.

"sorry" with hugs or handshakes.

A nice friend like you will be happy to share.

You'll listen and make others feel that you care.

so far in our story, we were given a lot of different examples of how to be a good friend, at the end of the story.

I'm going to ask you what are your thoughts on how to become a good friend.

All over the world and from since time began, we show every day that... together we can!

by making new friends, we can all come together.

Be loving and kind and you'll have friends forever.

That's it.

This book gave a lot of ideas of how people can become great friends.

And if you noticed in the beginning of the book on the inside cover, they show different ways that children could be friends, right here, the person said that they can be kind, right here, they said they could take turns.

And also over here, it says that they can give hugs or even make or share happy cupcakes.

So those are some ways that they can be friends.

And then also if I flip all the way to the back.

There are so more ideas of how to be a good friend.

One says to share feelings.

Another one says to be gentle.

And then down here at the bottom, it says that you can use a kind word to make someone's day.

So that means being kind to someone by saying words that help and not hurt them.

So it's your turn to think about how you can be a good friend to someone else or how you can show that you're going to be a kind friend.

So go ahead and give it a try and see what kind of friends that you'll make nearby, (gasps) ooh, that rhymes.

And I didn't mean to do that.

(upbeat music) Hello amazing learners.

Welcome back to read, right, roar.

I'm Ms. Rogers, and we're going to be working on writing a complete sentence.

So of course I need your help.

Before we do that, we're going to talk about what it takes in order to have a complete sentence.

So writing a complete sentence, we need a subject.

The subject is who or what the sentence is about.

Then we need a predicate, predicate means the action, what's taking place in the sentence.

We also need a capital letter.

The capital letter is special it goes at the beginning of our sentence.

And then finally we need punctuation.

Punctuation goes at the end of our sentence.

so we can have a period, (horn) which is a statement.

We can have a question Mark.

(what sound effect) which means you're asking a question or my favorite.

We can have an exclamation Mark.

(ooh sound effect) That shows excitement.

So here's our sentence down here at the bottom.

My friends like to play soccer.

So let's see, subject, who or what are we talking about?

We're talking about friends.

This is a noun.

So friends is my subject.

So I'm going to underline friends.

We also need a predicate action.

What are my friends doing?

What do they like to do?

They like to play soccer.

So the action is playing soccer.

So I'm going to underline that as well.

Play soccer.

Next I need a capital letter at the beginning of my sentence.

My is the first word in my sentence.

Does that have a capital letter?

Yes, it has a capital or uppercase tense.

So I'm going to put an arrow right there.

And then finally I need punctuation at the end of my sentence.

Here's the beginning.

And now we're at the end.

We do have punctuation.

(horn) So I'm going to put an arrow right there.

So now let's read the sentence together to see if it has all the components of a complete sentence.

My friends like to play soccer.

my subject, friends, predicate, my action, play soccer, capital letter at the beginning and punctuation at the end.

That looks like a great sentence to me.

So now let's try to put together another sentence.

Would you help me please?

(upbeat music) We just finished reading the book Together we can.

And in that book, we talked a lot about what children do in order to make friends.

One of the children said that we can become friends by taking turns, but that's not a complete sentence.

We're going to work together to build a sentence.

So I'm going to put, taking turns right here at the top of my chart.

Now, taking turns, like we said, isn't a sentence but what can we do in order to make that a sentence?

Well, the subject, we need to figure out who the subject is.

Was it just friends?

Was it you?

Was it just I, it was we, we is the subject.

So I'm gonna put that up there.

Ah, we taking turns.

Does that make sense?

We're missing something.

How about we use are, so I'm going to move this over just a little bit, and move this over just a little bit.

Then I'm going to add the word are.

so let's read it now.

We are taking turns.

That sounds pretty good.

We have a subject, but we need something else.

We have a predicate, which is the action, but where are they taking terms?

(gasp) Right at the playground.

So I'm going to lift up this and I'm going to add this to our sentence and let's see what it looks like now.

We are gonna make this fit nice in right here.

That would mean, measure out your words before you put them on the chart.

(laughing) So I'm going to help these words become friends by moving them over and let's see if we can help them to become a little closer together.

Oh, teamwork.

So even our words work together to make a sentence.

So now we have, we are taking turns at the playground.

So we have our subject, which is we.

We have our predicate, which is the action taking turns.

And where is at the playground?

We have uppercase W which is at the beginning of our sentence.

And we also have punctuation at the end.

That looks like a pretty good sentence.

Thank you for joining me.

I hope to see you soon.

Bye amazing learners.
