Hey everyone, its Education Station, the show where we invite teachers from all across West Virginia to submit videos of themselves teaching their favorite lessons.

In today's episode, we've got three exciting lessons all about reading.

Well, hello, and welcome back everyone.

I'm your host, Alex Melanie's, and we're kicking off today's episode with a fun read aloud story.

Mrs. Pie karski is going to share with us a book called My mouth is a volcano.

Let's check it out.

Hi, guys.

It's Mrs. piekarski.

And today, we are going to read a book called My mouth is a volcano.

Okay, this is one of my favorites.

It's written by Julia cook.

And it's illustrated by Carrie Hartman.

So the person who writes the words is called the author.

The person who draws the pictures is called the illustrator.

All right, so my mouth is a volcano.

Turn so you guys can see the pictures.

I'll make sure to hold them up.

My name is Louis, people say I arrived a lot.

I don't think I do have a lot to say.

And all of my words are very important to me.

When other people talk words, just pop into my head, and then they slide down onto my tongue.

My tummy starts to rumble.

And then it starts to grumble.

And my words begin to wiggle.

And then they do the my tongue pushes all of my important words up against my teeth.

And then hey, guess what you guys, I wrapped words just explode out of my mouth.

My mouth is a volcano.

In class, my teacher says that when we want to say something, we're supposed to look at her, raise our hand and wait until she calls on us.

I tried that.

After I waited patiently for what seemed like 62 years.

My important words slid down from my head onto my tongue.

So there's the picture of him having some trouble waiting his turn to speak right?

So he's saying he feels like he waited forever.

says my Tommy started to rumble.

And then it started to grumble and my words began to wiggle and then they did the jiggle.

And my tongue pushed Oh, am I important words into my teeth?

Am I a volcano erupted?

And here's all the words that he said.

So they're sitting in class and he finally erupts he can't wait any longer.

So he says, teacher think should we should have recess all day and I'm hungry too.

Can we borrow lunch now?

My teacher was less than pleased.

I mean, she wasn't very happy.

She erupted me right back.

I know what you were saying is very important to you, Louis.

But since it is not an emergency, you'll have to wait until I call on you.

It was my volcanoes fault.

And that's something that a lot of teachers say right?

It's important to remember is what I'm telling the teacher and emergency right?

Does the teacher need to know this right this second or Can it wait?

Right?

So she's saying that wasn't an emergency.

You know, you telling me that you want it to be lunchtime or that you wish it was time for us to go outside a recess.

That's not an emergency.

That's what she's trying to tell him.

help him understand.

at daycare, we were sitting on the rug listening to Miss Polly read a story about planting trees.

All of a sudden, I thought about the time my grandpa and I planted six trees in his front yard.

So there's a picture of him thinking about it over here on the side.

My important words slid down from my head onto my tongue.

My tummy started to rumble and then it started to grumble.

My words began to wiggle and then they did the jiggle my tongue push all of my important words into my teeth and my volcano erupted.

And here's all the words that he said over here.

I'm going to read them to you.

He says Hey guys once I planted the trees on my grandpa and and right in the middle of their story is when he erupted like that.

So imagine if I were reading you guys this story in some items ran in and started saying, Hey guys, I wish it was recess time and right it would be kind of hard to focus on what we're doing.

Hmm.

Well guess what happened.

I got a timeout.

It was my volcanoes fault and here's him sitting in his timeout.

during dinner, Mom and Dad were talking about paying the bills.

Then I thought about my friend Bill.

Bill can blow a bubble inside of a bubble when he chews two pieces of gum.

Now that is really important.

My important words about Bill slid down from my head onto my tongue.

So he's saying it's so important, right that my parents know that my friend Bill can blow two bubbles at once.

And guess what happened?

My tummy started to rumble.

And then it started to crumble and all my words began to wiggle and then they did the dribble.

My tongue pushed all of my very important words into my teeth, and my volcano erupted.

So here's all the words that he said, Hey, Mom, Bill can blow a bubble in a bubble with gum.

Lily, my mom said you interrupted again.

If somebody else is talking, and you don't have an emergency, you have to wait for your turn.

But Mark my words they slide in from my head and in my tongue, and in my stomach.

It's dumpsters for rumble.

Louis, you did it again.

So his mom is trying to help him now.

So his teacher told him write about how it's important to think is this an emergency?

Do I need to interrupt?

And now his mom is saying the same thing, right?

It's not an emergency.

So you don't need to interrupt someone.

Right?

You can wait your turn.

I got sent to my room.

She said I was rude.

It was my volcanoes fault.

So we've talked about that what it means to be rude.

So rude means like, you're being impolite, right?

It's not very kind, the way you're treating someone.

It's kind of rude.

Like, like interrupting is kind of a good example, right?

Because if you were treating your friend or your mom, in this case, with kindness, right, if you were being polite, you would wait until they were done talking.

So his mom is saying that was kind of rude how you kept interrupting me even after I talked to you about it.

So he got sent to his room.

And it says the next day at school was my very important day.

I had been waiting for 126 weeks to be the student star of my class.

This was my special moment, I got to share a poster with my class that had pictures of all my favorite things.

I stood up in front of my class and began to tell them about the time I went fishing.

And here's the pictures of Louie getting up with his poster and standing up in front of the class.

So he's been waiting for so long for his moment to get to talk to the class about his poster about his favorite things.

So he's talking about the time he went fishing.

And halfway through my story, Richard started to tell everyone about when he went deep sea fishing in Mexico.

His story must have been better than mine because everyone started to look at him.

He was stealing my important words.

Richard said my teacher, you just interrupted Lily, please wait until he is finished talking and then he might call on you.

I couldn't believe how rude that was a Richard.

He he looked at me.

That really made me angry.

Huh?

So now Louis knows what it feels like to be interrupted.

And he doesn't like it.

He said he's really angry.

Well, it says after talking about my fishing trip, I started to explain the X ray of my broken arm.

Just as I was getting to the good part.

Courtney started to tell the class about when she broke her leg.

Courtney said my teacher, you just interrupted Lily, please wait until he is finished talking.

And then he might call on you.

I couldn't believe how rude that was of Courtney.

She started talking right during my 15 minutes of fame.

That's the same for like when everybody has their attention on you.

She ruined my most my important words.

She almost stole my moment.

So he is really not liking it when other people are interrupting him is he?

So now that he knows how it feels to be erupted on he's, he doesn't like it very much.

He kind of thinks it's rude when I got home I told my mom about rude Richard and rude Courtney.

Now you know how we feel when you interrupt us said my mom.

I never thought about that.

I just get so excited that my words they just pop into my head and then they slide down onto my tongue and my tummy starts to rumble.

And then it starts to grumble, and my words begin to wiggle and then they do the jingle.

Then my tongue, which is all of my important words, I'm against my teeth and I erupt.

words just explode out of my mouth.

My mouth is a volcano.

You think mom is gonna think about that?

Well, maybe Richard and Courtney have volcanoes in their mouth, too.

My mom replied.

I never thought about that.

Well, son, the next time your important words are pushed into your teeth, bite your tongue.

Bite down hard and don't let them out.

Then take a deep breath, and push your words out through your nose.

Then when it's your turn to talk, take a deep breath and breathe them back into your mouth.

Will that work?

I asked.

Only if you make it work, said my mom.

So here's the picture of his mom showing him how to do that.

So she's saying when you feel like those words are going to explode out of you.

Just bite down hard.

Don't let them out.

Take deep breaths and you'll breathe the words right back out.

And right back in.

Well, let's see if it works.

It says that night at the dinner table.

My sister Sylvia was in the middle of one of her long girl stories.

When my important words begin to slide down from my head and my volcano starting to do its thing.

Just as my tongue started to push my words out through my teeth a bit down really hard.

And then I breathed my words out through my nose.

As soon as my sister finished talking, I took a deep breath.

And back in went the words, I was amazed that they had just hung around outside my mouth and didn't float away.

Then I told my story.

And nobody got mad at me for erupting.

So now, one, it worked right.

And he was able to tell his story and nobody, nobody's feelings were hurt because he interrupted them.

So even better, right.

After that, I never erupted again.

Well, except for the time Bill's bubblegum got stuck in my hair.

But that was a real emergency.

And here's a picture of him up at the top with the gum in his hair.

Yeah, that's absolutely something worth interrupting about if you get gum stuck in your hair out right.

And that is the end of my mouth is a volcano.

Thanks, Mrs. piekarski.

Alright, next up on today's reading inspired episode, we have nisi nisi who is going to cover an important lesson on sight words.

Let's check it out.

Today we're going to look at a book and to talk about a little about some sight words for little kids, learning how to read.

So we would love to learn to read lesson one.

learning to read can be fun, right?

And books are treasures to be explored no matter what your age is.

So we're going to begin our reading journey with our very first topical book.

It's called snow and it's by Roy MCI and PD Eastman.

So I'm going to read it to you this book about snow and then we're going to look at some sight words because we would like to have some words we can relate back that we can learn we always want to learn from what we read right?

So let's look at the book.

Here's our little dog and he says snow so snow come out in the snow.

Snow snow just look at the snow Come out Come out Come out in the snow.

Sorry I got my page.

I want to know if you like snow.

Do you like it?

Yes or no?

Oh yes.

Oh yes.

I do like snow.

Do you like it in your face?

Yes, I like it anyplace.

What is snow we do not know but snow is lots of fun.

We know what makes it snow we do not know.

But snow is fun to dig in to throw.

Snow is good for me and you for men and women.

Horses to snow is good.

It makes you slide it lets you give your dog a ride.

There is riding in the sled.

Snow is good for making tracks and making pictures with your backs.

See the We're making snow angels we go uphill The snow is deep we can't go fast the hill is steep.

We think our dog has gone to sleep but then we get up to the top at last down we come we come down fast sometimes we put on long long feet and walk up every hill we need.

Down here we fly down here we sail our dog sails after on his tail.

What a silly thing to do or your feet too long for you Come on, get up Get on your way.

We have a lot to do today.

Now take some snow and make a ball and lots of snowballs make a wall put on more snowballs one by one our house of snow will soon be done.

Look they're making an igloo.

Do you like bread?

Do you like meat?

Come in our house come in and eat still is lots of fun All right, it gives you a big appetite we had our bread we had our meat some bread is left for birds to eat.

Now make another ball of snow push it push it see it go.

What a snowball see it grow see it grow and grow and grow.

What will we make?

Let's make a man.

Let's make the biggest man we can.

We will call our snowman Ned.

But first he has to have a head.

His head will have to have a hat his hat is on just look at that.

He is so big.

He is so tall.

He is the biggest man of all.

The sun the sun it came out fast.

Do you think Ned is going to last?

Probably not.

Huh?

Keep that son away from Ned.

And sun is going to his head.

We got Ned there.

The biggest snowman of them all is very, very small.

He melted.

The way the sun is coming down there soon will be no snow in town.

Take some save it from the sun, take all you can and RUN, RUN RUN.

The snow out there will come and go but snow will keep in here we know.

So we will put it away and play with it some other day.

As the end of our book, that is the end.

So now we're going to look at some sight words.

And what I did was to put the sight words on snowballs.

So you can think of these words as snowballs that you can use.

And you're our armory of words.

Once you have words and acquire them and know what they mean.

Then they're yours to keep forever.

So the easy sight words we have from our story, our snow out, no look, went face, dog, throw, slide rod and dig, you might want to write those down and you can practice them.

And when you learn how to say them, then you can learn that what they mean and use them in a sentence.

We also have some medium or harder sight words.

These are a little bit longer.

tracks, pictures, right?

backs, deep in steep and sleep.

Those are Ryan feet and meet Ron and wall and ball Ron.

We can also arm ourselves with these snowball words.

And the Hardest Words of all or just three.

So if you graduate to the hardest words, they are appetite.

It's a big word ha, bread and biggest.

Alright, so you can practice your sight words this week.

And then next week, we will look at a different book maybe a little bit harder sight words.

And so as you keep learning words, your knowledge will grow and grow.

Thanks, Mr. neesee.

All right for our final segment today.

So make sure you're paying attention and be ready for questions at the end.

Let's begin.

Before I begin my reading, I'm going to go over how I set up my index card.

And it would be a great idea if you made some index cards to just to help your child remember their vocab words throughout the book.

I'm going to have a vocab word set up in the middle and you're a part of speech at the top.

We'll only be using adjectives and nouns and adjectives describe Absent down and a noun is a person, place or thing.

Our definition will be at the top and at the bottom, we're going to have an example of each word, I want you to be able to name one for each word throughout the book, I'm going to get over three with you at the end.

When our right side, we're going to have a picture that'll be on the same page.
