Green Word Pattern Focus
RF.2.3 Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words
Our “Green Word” pattern/focus for the week will be a review of the vowel teams, oe as in toe, ea as in head, and ay as in play. Weekly spelling words will come from the dictation pages brought home in your child’s folder. Students will be expected to apply all classroom information to ten or more words on their Friday spelling test.
Reading
Describe how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges.
Describe the connection between a series of historical events, scientific ideas or concepts, or steps in technical procedures in a text.
Identify the main purpose of a text, including what the author wants to answer, explain, or describe.
This week we will continue to study about the sport of baseball and read from the books, The Hero Two Doors Down and the Magic Tree House #29, A Big Day for Baseball.
Writing
With guidance and support from adults, use a variety of digital tools to produce and publish writing, including in collaboration with peers.
Describe how words and phrases (e.g., regular beats, alliteration, rhymes, repeated lines) supply rhythm and meaning in a story, poem, or song.
Create audio recordings of stories or poems; add drawings or other visual displays to stories or recounts of experiences when appropriate to clarify ideas, thoughts, and feelings.
Our writing focus this year will conclude with the writing of several poems that include the poetry elements of rhyme, alliteration, and repetition.
Math
Draw a picture graph and a bar graph (with single-unit scale) to represent a data set with up to four categories. Solve simple put-together, take-apart, and compare problems1 using information presented in a bar graph.
Generate measurement data by measuring lengths of several objects to the nearest whole unit, or by making repeated measurements of the same object. Show the measurements by making a line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked off in whole-number units.
We will begin our “Count By ___” this week. We will start with counting by 2’s. This activity sets us up for success in third grade by developing mastery of our multiplication facts. We will also be reading and drawing bar graphs to represent a given data set. We will conclude our week by reading and drawing a line plot to represent a given data set and reviewing several common core math standard activities.
Science/Social Studies

This week we will learn how living things like worms and beavers cause change on Earth.
