1. Number Talks: Use mental math strategies!!

2. Story Problems:

Ms. N has 3 strips of ten and 7 single unicorn stickers. She goes to Sticker Station and buys 2 strips of ten and 4 single unicorn stickers. How many unicorn stickers does Ms. N have now?

*To solve this problem, I need to first figure out how many stickers are 3 strips and 7 singles. I know 1 strip=10 so 3 strips =30 and 1 single=1 so 7 singles=7. 30+7=37.

Ms. N buys 2 more strips of ten=20 and 4 singles=4 so 20+4=24.

I can use the following equation to solve this problem:

37 +24=_____

*What strategy can you use to solve this? Show your thinking!

Try some more problems! Choose a strategy and show your work!

a. Ms. J has 4 strips of ten and 5 single rainbow stickers. She goes to Sticker Station and buys 3 strips of ten and 5 single rainbow stickers. How many rainbow stickers does Ms. J have in all?

b. Mr. A has 4 strips of ten and 1 single moon stickers. He goes to Sticker Station and buys 4 strips of ten and 8 single moon stickers. How many moon stickers does he have altogether?

3. Place Value: 3-Digit Numbers

What number is 2 hundreds 4 tens 7 ones?

*I know 2 hundreds=200 4 tens=40 7 ones=7 so 200+40+7=247

*I can also use a chart like this to help me:

What about 5 tens 8 ones 3 hundreds?

*I know 5 goes in the tens place. 8 goes in the ones place. 3 goes in the hundreds place. So 50 + 8 + 300=358

Now you try!! Complete the problems on the worksheet.

Assignment # 1

Listen to the story “A Letter for my Teacher”. We read this in our classroom at the beginning of second grade.

After reading, write a letter to your teacher. Start your letter with Dear or To and end it with Love or From. Tell your teacher about what you have been doing at home. What has been fun? What do you miss? Do you have any new or exciting news to share? After writing your letter take a picture of it and send it to your teacher. You can also practice typing your letter and email it to your teacher. We would LOVE to hear from you!

Assignment #2

Go onto readworks: https://www.readworks.org/

There are 4 new passages to read. Be sure to answer the questions after you read!

Assignment #3

Read a just right book from home or on Raz-kids. When you are finished use a separate piece of paper and complete the reading response paper below.

This week we will focus on two types of writing: letter writing and poetry! Use a blank piece of paper to do the following activities.

1. LETTER WRITING

First, listen to the story Dear Mrs. LaRue.

Then write a letter to Mrs. LaRue using this template as an example. Be sure to tell Mrs. LaRue what you think of Ike, what you think Ike will do next and some advice on how to handle Ike.

2. POETRY - April is National Poetry Month. This week we will focus on Acrostic Poems. Watch this short video to learn about Acrostic Poems.

Create an acrostic poem using your name.

-Use the letters of your name to describe yourself. For example, my name starts with M so I chose the word “mother”. I could have also chosen marvelous or memorable because they start with the letter “M”.

For example,

M - mother

E – enjoys reading

G - grateful

A – a good friend

N - never gives up

Now try to create acrostic poems for the words: FAMILY and SPRING. Have fun! When you finish, draw some pictures to illustrate your poems. Then send your teacher a copy of your poems.

GLUED SOUNDS~ Let’s Practice

Point to each of the “glued” sounds below.

Practice saying each one three times- 3x

1. Number Talks:

Look at the number strings. How can you solve it using the most efficient strategy?

1. 18 + 22 + 30 + 24 =________

2. 19 + 27 + 31 + 12=_________

3. 25 + 22 + 25 + 13=_________

*Try to use mental math strategies such as adding all the tens first and then all of the ones to find the total.

Example:

11 + 22 + 19 + 15 =____

10 + 20 + 10 + 10 = 50

1 + 2 + 9 + 5 = 17

50 + 17 = 67

2. Story Problems

Mrs. MacDonald has 67 dog stickers. Mrs. Hale has 44 dog stickers. How many more dog stickers does Mrs. MacDonald have than Mrs. Hale?

*We are trying to figure out the difference between their amounts so we need to use this equation:

67-44=____

67-40=27

27-4=23

Mrs. MacDonald has 23 more dog stickers than Mrs. Hale.

*On a piece of paper, show your work using a different strategy. Use tens and ones or a number line to help you.

*You can also use 44 +_____ = 67 to figure out this problem.

It is a related equation.

*How can you solve it using this equation? Show your work on a piece of paper.

* Now, try on your own! Read the story problem carefully. Show your work using 2 different strategies.

Reading Assignment # 1

Read a just right book from home each day. It could be one on Raz-Kids too! As you are reading, think about the Author’s Purpose. The author’s purpose is the reason the author wrote the book. There are 3 reasons why author’s write stories. See the posters below.

After reading your story write down the author’s purpose and include clues from the text that make you think that! For example, The author wrote the book we have all heard “Have You filled a bucket today?” to persuade you to make good choices and to be kind to others. I know this because in the story the characters had full buckets when they did or said kind things to others. Full buckets make us feel good and happy. When someone was not kind, they dipped into someone’s bucket and that person’s bucket was not full because they were sad. Use the organizer below to help you write the author’s purpose after reading stories this week!

INFORMATIONAL WRITING

FUNDATIONS: FUN WITH POETRY

Check out this assignment. The link is below:

1. STORY PROBLEMS

23+ _____ = 39

EXAMPLE

Mrs. Hale had 23 colored pencils. She bought SOME more colored pencils. Now she has 39 colored pencils. How many more colored pencils did she buy?

In this problem, we are looking to find out HOW MANY MORE we need to get from 23 to 39. We can start at 23 and count up to get to 39.

23+10=33

33+6=39

We added 10 and 6 to get to 39 so the answer is 16.

23+16=39

We could also use subtraction 39-23= ______

39-10=29

29-10=19

19-3=16

39-23=16

NOW YOU TRY!!

Write your own story problems for the following equations. Solve the problem and show your work.

A. 41 + _____ = 70

B. 38 + ______ = 65

2. EXPANDED FORM

Watch the following video to review what we have learned about expanded form.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AF7xj7pmWc

Expanded form is when you stretch out a number and write an addition equation showing the value of each digit based upon place value.

For example, the expanded form equation for 375 is 300+70+5 = 375

In this number the 3 is worth 300, the 7 is worth 70 and the 5 is worth 5 ones.

Now you try!

Look at the following numbers. Write them in expanded form.

Send a picture of your work to your teacher!!

Reading Assignment #1

Click the link below to view the assignment for the story Dream Drum Girl that we read in class a couple of weeks ago.

1. We have been writing some autobiographical stories in Writing Workshop. An autobiography is a story about your life. It is a story about events that truly happened in your life. Create a Timeline of your life. A timeline shows events in sequence or order.

*Feel free to add more Past, Present, or Future events! It doesn’t have to be just one event for each.

You can tell important events that happened in the past, important events that have happened recently, and explain events that will happen in the future. For Past, it could be about something that happened when you were 3 or 4 or 5 years old, something from Kindergarten or 1st Grade, anything you want! For Present, you can include something from this school year in Grade 2. For Future, maybe you can include what you want to be when you grow up, or tell about something you hope to accomplish! The ideas are endless!

Use can use an organizer like this:

2. Choose one of the events from your organizer (past, present, or future) from the previous activity and tell more about it. Don’t forget to include information that tells who, what, when, where, and why so that your story is complete.

Remember, when talking about the past, you need to use verbs that end in -ed and be sure to spell irregular verbs correctly that don’t follow that spelling rule. For example:
