6-5-20 Activities

Math:
This week you worked on fractions.  If your assignments are finished, then please practice your basic addition and subtraction facts.  (Flashcards, games, websites we used in class, etc.)

IMPORTANT NOTES:
*Keep in mind, you need to know your basic math facts of addition and subtraction by the time you enter 3rd Grade.   Your goal as a 2nd grader is to be able to do 30 problems in 3 minutes.

*Keep doing those math facts over the summer and you’ll be in great shape for 3rd Grade!  (Hint:  Knowing your addition and subtraction facts will help you greatly with understanding the multiplication and division concepts!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Science:

Day 8: FINAL DAY TO HAVE LIVING THING PROJECT COMPLETED!

*Demonstrate Your Learning and share your project! Finish your project!  Be sure to read and look everything over carefully before you submit it!

Share on SeeSaw Journal so that your friends can check out all your hard work! (This might work after your projects have been "approved." If you're having difficulties seeing your friend's projects, it may be due to the district's restrictions on SeeSaw for privacy. Let me know what you see today, but don't worry if you aren't able to see other's work. I can't see what you see on my end, so it would be helpful to hear back from you.)

 If possible, comment on two or more of your classmates’ projects.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't forget about our Friday Show and Tell from 11:00-11:30.

Day 6: Begin working on Demonstrating Your Learning!

1. Choose the way that you’d like to demonstrate and teach others what you have learned.  

• Ideas may be: Book Creator, Google Slides, Explain Everything, a poster, a paper book, a crafted model of some sort, etc. 

2.  Include the information you gathered on your research planner into your demonstration.

**Hint: The more effort and details you put into your project, the better it will be! (Write detailed sentences, record your voice, do a video demonstration, add graphics, draw pictures, do neat writing / coloring, etc.)

**Keep in mind you will only have today and tomorrow to work on your demonstration. Your project will need to be posted by the end of the day on Friday (June 5).

   Science (Must do!): 
   DAY 5 : CONTINUE RESEARCH  -  (This assignment is the same as Day 4!)
   
   
   1. Miss Mikle worked hard on her research about Ostriches!  She decided to have GRIT and went to every research site from the list above in hopes of learning more about her topic!  Sometimes she got a lot of new information from a website or book. But other times she learned only 1 or 2 new ideas to add to her notes.  
   
   
   • Check out Miss Mikle’s research - linked below!  
   Notice 2 things:  She jotted very few words when she took notes AND she cited her resources!

   2. Continue your research! Use the Research Planner to help focus and organize your learning. Be sure to have 2 or more resources sited on your planner.  
   
   
   **Keep in mind you will only have today to continue your research!  Tomorrow and Thursday you’ll work on your demonstration. Your project will need to be posted by the end of the day on Friday (June 5).
   
   

5-29-20 Activities

Math:
*This week you worked on checking your answers by using the opposite operation and solving word problems with addition and subtraction up to 1,000.

*If you completed the assigned math pages this week (pages 350, 351-354), spend time today or this weekend practicing math facts or playing a math fact game.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
*Keep in mind, you need to know your basic math facts of addition and subtraction by the time you enter 3rd Grade. Your goal as a 2nd grader is to be able to do 30 problems in 3 minutes!

*You keep doing those math facts now and over the summer and you’ll be in great shape for 3rd Grade!  Knowing your addition and subtraction facts will help you greatly with understanding the multiplication and division concepts.

5-29-20 Science (Must-Do!)

Science / Life Cycles / Living Thing Research: This week you learned about the life cycle of butterflies and frogs. You also started learning about the life cycle of a living thing of your choice. Today you will continue to research and learn about that living thing. Day 4: Continue Research Miss Mikle worked hard on her research about Ostriches! She decided to have GRIT and went to every research site from the list at the top of the planner in hopes of learning more about her topic. Sometimes she got a lot of new information from a website or book. But other times she learned only 1 or 2 new ideas to add to her notes. 1. Check out Miss Mikle’s research in the link. 2. Notice 2 things: She jotted very few words when she took notes AND she cited her resources! Ostriches - Living Thing Research Video (*Keep in mind, the notes you record on your planner do NOT need to be typed.) 3. Continue your research. Use the Research Planner to help focus and organize your learning. Be sure to have 2 or more resources sited on your planner. **Keep in mind you will only have next Tuesday (June 2) to continue to gather information about your topic. Next Wednesday (June 3) and Thursday (June 4) you will work demonstrating your learning /or showing what you have learned. Your project will need to be posted by the end of the day on Friday (June 5).

2nd Graders & Families, 

I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend! We sure got lucky with great weather! :) I wanted to give you all a heads-up on changes for the next two weeks. All 2nd grade students will be given only two assignments each day: Science and Math. There will be no formal lessons for Reading and Writing. Instead, both will be done naturally within the Science lessons. (We've got some fun lessons planned for the unit we missed on Life Cycles.) Next week will be the last week we'll be working in our Math workbook. After that, students will be learning about fractions in a fun way! As always, let me know if you have any questions or concerns! 

I hope you all have a wonderful week, 

Ms. Anderson
