I LIKED IT A LOT.

NOW LET'’S TALK ABOUT OUR STORY, MAKING A BIG CIRCLE MAP, AND WE'’LL PUT THE TITLE OF THE STORY IN THE CIRCLE, OKAY?

LET'’S START WITH THE CHARACTERS.

TELL YOUR FRIEND WHO IS IN THIS STORY.

VERY GOOD.

RIGHT.

MOM IS THERE... AND HER DAUGHTER.

VERY GOOD.

AND WHAT ARE THE DETAILS?

I CAN ENLARGE THE CIRCLES AND TURN THEM INTO A VENN DIAGRAM.

I CAN PUT THINGS THAT WERE THE SAME IN THE MIDDLE.

LET'’S DO IT TOGETHER, OKAY?

WE CAN FIND THINGS IN COMMON FROM BOTH STORIES, AND THAT MEANS THINGS THAT ARE THE SAME IN BOTH STORIES.

WAS MOM IN BOTH STORIES?

NO, SO MOM STAYS.

SHE CAN STAY HERE.

AND BOTH STORIES TALKED ABOUT...

LET'’S CHECK WITH OUR FRIEND KIRA TO SEE IF WE COMPLETED TODAY'’S CHALLENGE.

BRAVO!

WE DID IT, SUPER LEARNERS.

WE FINISHED TODAY'’S CHALLENGE.

THANK YOU TOO, KIRA, AND REMEMBER... [both] THAT IN ORDER TO LEARN, WE MUST LEARN THE LETTERS AND THEIR SOUNDS.

¡ADIÓS!

BYE!

HEY, EVERYONE.

I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO BE... WHAT IT MEANS TO BE ME.

AND MAYBE YOU THINK ABOUT THIS TOO.

I THINK I'’M PRETTY COOL.

I'’VE GOT GREAT STYLE, AND I'’M KIND AND GENEROUS WITH OTHERS.

I LOVE LEARNING.

BUT SOMETIMES, I SEE OTHER PEOPLE, AND I...

I START DOUBTING MYSELF.

I START TO THINK THAT... MAYBE I'’M NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

SOMETIMES, I LOOK ALL AROUND, AND I DON'’T SEE ANYONE THAT LOOKS LIKE ME OR SOUNDS LIKE ME, OR... [sighs] DRESSES LIKE ME.

AND I START TO WONDER IF I'’M OKAY JUST THE WAY I AM.

MAYBE I NEED TO DO MORE TO FIT IN WITH THOSE PEOPLE I SEE.

WELL, CHECK THIS OUT.

YOU ARE ALWAYS ENOUGH.

THE TRUTH IS, THERE IS NOBODY ELSE IN THIS WORLD LIKE YOU.

HOW COOL IS THAT?

THERE ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BE PEOPLE WHO LOOK DIFFERENT OR SOUND DIFFERENT, BUT...

BUT NO MATTER WHAT, YOU ARE ENOUGH JUST AS YOU ARE.

AND YOU MATTER.

I THINK THAT TO MYSELF WHEN I'’M FEELING LIKE I'’M NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

I AM ENOUGH.

Y'’ALL SAY IT WITH ME.

"I AM ENOUGH."

IT HELPS, I'’M TELLING YOU.

ALRIGHT.

LET'’S KEEP THIS TRAIN MOVING.

WE'’VE GOT LOTS MORE TO DO TODAY.

♪ ♪ HELLO, READERS.

MY NAME IS MS. JILL.

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

BEFORE WE GET STARTED ON OUR LESSON, LET'’S SAY HELLO WITH OUR WELCOME SONG.

[singing to the tune of "Frère Jacques" ] TODAY, WE'’RE GOING TO READ ABOUT HOMES.

WE'’RE GOING TO BUILD ON WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW FROM OUR OWN EXPERIENCES AND LEARN NEW WORDS FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOMES.

WE'’RE ALSO GOING TO TRY OUT SOME STRATEGIES FOR LEARNING NEW VOCABULARY WORDS.

AS WE BUILD OUR VOCABULARY, WE BECOME BETTER AND BETTER READERS.

TO DO THIS, WE'’RE GOING TO READ ABOUT DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOMES AND CREATE A VOCABULARY MAP.

YOU WILL NEED SOMETHING TO WRITE ON, LIKE PAPER OR A WHITEBOARD, AND SOMETHING TO WRITE WITH, LIKE A PENCIL OR MARKER.

WHILE YOU GO GRAB YOUR ITEMS, I'’LL GET WHAT I NEED.

♪ ♪ WELCOME BACK, READERS.

I'’M READY TO GO.

I'’VE GOT WHAT I NEED, AND SO, I HOPE YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO WRITE WITH TOO.

A WORD MAP IS A WAY WE CAN FOCUS ON WORD MEANINGS AND HOW DIFFERENT VOCABULARY IS RELATED.

WE'’RE GOING TO START BY PUTTING A CIRCLE OR OVAL IN THE CENTER OF OUR PAPER.

NOW, LET'’S FIRST PUT THE TOPIC WE'’RE READING AND LEARNING ABOUT TODAY IN THE CENTER.

"HOMES."

GREAT JOB!

NOW, WE'’RE GOING TO START BY THINKING ABOUT WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT HOMES.

I KNOW THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOMES.

SO, I'’M GOING TO MAKE ANOTHER OVAL ON THE SIDE AND WRITE THE WORD "TYPES."

YOU TRY THAT TOO.

ALRIGHT, SO, I'’M THINKING ABOUT THE TYPES OF HOMES I ALREADY KNOW ABOUT.

WE CAN ADD THAT VOCABULARY HERE, TO OUR WORD MAP, TO SHOW WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT HOMES.

I'’M THINKING ABOUT THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOMES I KNOW.

HMM, I KNOW SOME PEOPLE LIVE IN AN APARTMENT, SOME PEOPLE LIVE IN A HOUSE, AND SOME PEOPLE LIVE IN A MOBILE HOME.

I'’M GOING TO CONNECT THESE WORDS TO "TYPES," BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOMES.

ON THE COUNT OF 3, TELL ME WHAT TYPE OF HOME YOU LIVE IN.

READY?

1, 2, 3... GOOD!

BE SURE TO ADD THAT TO YOUR WORD MAP, LIKE I'’M ADDING WORDS TO MINE.

APARTMENT, HOUSE, MOBILE HOME... CAN YOU THINK OF ANY OTHER TYPES OF HOMES?

NOW I'’M THINKING ABOUT THE MATERIALS USED TO BUILD DIFFERENT HOMES.

I'’M GOING TO MAKE ANOTHER CONNECTION HERE AND ADD THE CATEGORY OF "MATERIALS" TO MY WORD MAP.

CAN YOU DO THAT TOO?

"MATERIALS."

I AM THINKING ABOUT THE DIFFERENT MATERIALS HOMES MAY BE BUILT OUT OF.

HMM...

I KNOW SOME HOMES ARE BUILT FROM WOOD, AND SOME ARE BUILT FROM BRICK, JUST LIKE IN THE STORY OF "THE THREE LITTLE PIGS."

WOOD, BRICK... NOW THINK ABOUT WHAT MATERIALS YOUR HOME IS MADE OF.

CAN YOU THINK OF ANY OTHER MATERIALS HOMES MAY BE BUILT FROM?

TELL ME NOW.

GOOD.

MAKE SURE TO ADD THAT TO YOUR WORD MAP, LIKE I'’M ADDING WORDS TO MINE.

NOW THAT WE'’VE THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT HOMES AND ADDED SOME RELATED VOCABULARY TO OUR WORD MAP, LET'’S READ A BOOK ABOUT HOMES, TO LEARN MORE AND ADD NEW WORDS TO OUR WORD MAP.

THIS BOOK IS CALLED "A WORLD OF HOMES," AND IT'’S WRITTEN BY AMY BAKER.

"A HOME IS WHERE YOU LIVE WITH YOUR FAMILY."

OKAY, SO NOW, I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO KNOW ABOUT A HOME.

TYPICALLY, A HOME IS WHERE YOU LIVE WITH YOUR FAMILY.

I'’M GOING TO ADD "FAMILY" IN A NEW OVAL.

YOU MIGHT LIVE WITH A PARENT OR GRANDPARENT, AN AUNT OR UNCLE, BROTHER OR SISTER.

SOME PEOPLE MIGHT ALSO LIVE WITH A ROOMMATE OR FRIEND.

WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR HOME?

TELL ME ON THE COUNT OF 3.

1, 2, 3... WOW!

YOU CAN ADD THEM TO YOUR WORD MAP TOO.

LET'’S READ ON.

"DO YOU LIKE HIGH PLACES?

YOU COULD LIVE IN A TALL BUILDING MADE OF BRICKS."

OKAY, SO, LOOK HERE.

WE ALREADY ADDED "BRICKS" TO THE MATERIALS A HOME COULD BE MADE FROM.

LET'’S READ SOME MORE.

"DO YOU LIKE TO LOOK OUTSIDE?

"YOU COULD LIVE IN A HOME MADE OF GLASS.

YOU CAN SEE ALL AROUND IN A GLASS HOUSE."

READERS, I NEVER THOUGHT THAT HOMES COULD BE MADE OF GLASS.

I'’M GOING TO ADD THAT TO "MATERIALS."

YOU CAN ADD "GLASS" TO YOUR MAP TOO.

ALRIGHT, READ ALONG WITH ME AND FIND NEW WORDS YOU CAN ADD TO YOUR MAP.

"DO YOU LIKE TO KEEP COOL WHEN IT'’S HOT?

"YOU COULD LIVE IN A HOME MADE OF MUD.

MUD HOUSES ARE COOL ON HOT DAYS."

OKAY, STOP HERE.

WHOA.

THIS PAGE GAVE US SOME NEW INFORMATION.

LOOK AT THAT MUD HOUSE.

NOW, TELL ME ON 3, WHERE SHOULD WE ADD "MUD HOUSE" TO OUR WORD MAP?

1, 2, 3... GREAT!

SOME LEARNERS SAID THAT "MUD HOUSE" IS A NEW TYPE OF HOME, AND I AGREE.

AND SOME OF YOU THOUGHT OF MUD AS A NEW MATERIAL HOMES MAY BE MADE OF.

THAT IS GREAT THINKING TOO.

I'’M GOING TO ADD THIS IN BOTH PLACES.

NOW, MAKE SURE YOU ADD THIS NEW INFORMATION TO YOUR MAP AS WELL.

LET'’S GO BACK TO READING.

"DO YOU LIKE TO BE IN THE WOODS?

"YOU COULD LIVE IN A TREEHOUSE.

YOU COULD LIVE IN A HOME MADE OF LOGS AND LEAVES."

OKAY, THINK, READERS.

WHERE CAN WE ADD THIS NEW INFORMATION TO OUR WORD MAP?

ON 3, TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.

1, 2, 3... SURE.

WE CAN ADD "LOGS AND LEAVES" TO "MATERIALS," AND WE CAN ADD "TREEHOUSE" TO "TYPES."

WE ARE LEARNING SO MUCH ABOUT HOMES AROUND THE WORLD.

LET'’S READ MORE.

"DO YOU LIKE TO MOVE FROM PLACE TO PLACE?

"YOU COULD LIVE IN A YURT.

"YOU COULD TAKE YOUR HOME WITH YOU.

"YURTS ARE MADE OF FELT AND WOOD.

"THEY CAN BE PUT UP IN ONE DAY.

AND THEY CAN BE TAKEN DOWN AND MOVED TO A NEW PLACE."

OKAY.

STOP HERE, READERS.

I JUST HEARD A WORD THAT'’S NEW TO ME.

"YURT."

DID YOU NOTICE THAT TOO?

LET'’S THINK ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS.

WE CAN SEE THE PHOTOGRAPHS, AND THE TEXT GIVES US SOME INFORMATION.

A YURT IS A TYPE OF HOME THAT CAN MOVE.

WHERE WILL YOU ADD IT TO YOUR WORD MAP?

TELL ME ON 3.

1, 2, 3... GOOD!

I HEARD SOME OF YOU SAY TO CONNECT IT TO "TYPES."

YOU MAY ALSO WANT TO ADD "FELT" TO "MATERIALS."

I DIDN'’T KNOW HOMES COULD BE MADE OUT OF FELT, A TYPE OF FABRIC.

DID YOU KNOW THAT?

LET'’S READ SOME MORE.

"DO YOU LIKE OLD PLACES?

"YOU COULD LIVE IN A HOME MADE LONG AGO.

YOU COULD LIVE IN A CASTLE MADE OF STONE."

OKAY, THINK, AND THEN TELL ME, WHAT WILL YOU ADD TO YOUR WORD MAP?

1, 2, 3... NOW, WRITE IT DOWN.

GOOD JOB, EVERYONE.

LET'’S READ A LITTLE MORE.

"DO YOU LIKE THE WATER?

"YOU COULD LIVE IN A HOME ON THE WATER.

YOU COULD LIVE IN A HOUSEBOAT."

OKAY, SO WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THIS.

WHAT CAN WE ADD TO OUR WORD MAP NOW?

TELL ME ON 3.

1, 2, 3... GREAT.

I WAS THINKING "HOUSEBOAT" WAS A NEW TYPE OF HOME.

"HOUSEBOAT" IS A COMPOUND WORD, MADE UP OF 2 WORDS WE ALREADY KNOW HOW TO WRITE AND READ: "HOUSE" AND "BOAT."

I'’M ADDING "HOUSEBOAT" TO MY MAP.

OKAY, READERS.

WE'’VE LEARNED A LOT MORE ABOUT THE WORD "HOMES" AND A LOT OF SPECIFIC VOCABULARY FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOMES AND DIFFERENT MATERIALS HOMES CAN BE MADE FROM, ALL BY READING THE BOOK "A WORLD OF HOMES."

AWESOME WORK HELPING ME LEARN SOME NEW WORDS AND BUILD ON WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT HOMES.

I'’VE LEARNED THERE ARE SO MANY TYPES OF HOMES MADE FROM SO MANY DIFFERENT MATERIALS.

BUT HOME IS WHEREVER YOU LIVE WITH YOUR FAMILY.

NOW, MAKING YOUR WORD MAP CAN HELP YOU EXPAND WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT VOCABULARY AND BUILD CONNECTIONS BETWEEN RELATED WORDS.

INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING, "PEOPLE LIVE IN HOMES," WE CAN ADD TO OUR WORD KNOWLEDGE AND USE AND UNDERSTAND MORE POWERFUL WORDS.

I LEARNED A NEW WORD TODAY.

"YURT."

DID YOU LEARN ANY NEW WORDS FOR TYPES OF HOMES OR MATERIALS PEOPLE USE TO BUILD THEIR HOMES?

TELL ME.

YOU GUYS ROCK.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING AND LEARNING WITH ME TODAY.

SEE YOU NEXT TIME.

BOOKS ARE THE BEST.

I CAN STILL REMEMBER ONE OF MY FAVORITES FROM WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE.

WHAT'’S YOUR FAVORITE BOOK?

OH!

NOW, THAT'’S A GOOD ONE.

I LOVE READING, AND I LOVE LISTENING TO OTHER PEOPLE READ.

CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO OF ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS.

HI.

MY NAME IS CASEY.

AND I'’M GOING TO READ "MY FATHER KNOWS THE NAMES OF THINGS."

[small airplane flying] "MY FATHER KNOWS THE NAMES OF THINGS.

"EACH BIRD THAT SINGS.

THEIR NICKNAMES TOO."

[bird chirping] "HE KNOWS THE NAMES OF DOGS."

[dog barking] "AND CHEESE.

"AND SEVEN WORDS THAT ALL MEAN '’BLUE.

'’ "HE KNOWS WHICH MOSSES ARE THE FUZZIEST.

HE KNOWS WHICH INSECTS ARE THE BUZZIEST."

[buzzing] "AND WHEN WE'’RE SAILING ON THE SEA, HE TELLS THE NAMES OF FISH TO ME."

[water splashing, bell tolls] "MY FATHER KNOWS THE NAMES OF THINGS.

"EACH DIFFERENT SORT OF BELL THAT RINGS.

AND STONES."

[cow moos] "AND KNOWS THE NAMES OF PLANETS.

STARS.

AND EVEN HUMAN BONES."

[electricity buzzing] "HE KNOWS WHICH FLOWERS ARE THE TALLEST.

"AND WHICH BEETLES ARE THE SMALLEST.

"AND WHEN WE FLY, HE SAYS OUT LOUD THE NAME OF EVERY KIND OF CLOUD."

[small airplane flying] "MY FATHER KNOWS THE NAMES OF THINGS.

"OF EVERY KIND OF BUG THAT STINGS.

AND BITES."

[buzzing] "HE KNOWS THE NAMES OF CATS AND CANDIES."

[cat purring, meowing] [people talking] "AND A DOZEN OTHER WORDS FOR '’NIGHT.

'’ HE KNOWS WHICH DINOSAURS ARE THE MEANEST."

[snoring] "HE KNOWS WHICH SOAPS CAN MAKE YOU CLEANEST."

[rubber ducky squeaking] "HE POINTS OUT EVERYTHING WE SEE AND TEACHES ALL THE NAMES TO ME."

THE END.

WHAT A GREAT LESSON.

I LOVE READING SO MUCH.

I FEEL LIKE I LEARN SOMETHING NEW EACH TIME.

DO YOU?

I BET YOU DO.

I CAN ALREADY SEE YOUR BRAIN LOOKS BIGGER THAN IT DID BEFORE THE LESSON.

OR DID YOU JUST DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH YOUR HAIR?

EITHER WAY, YOU'’RE LOOKING SMART.
