Thank you for coming out to the Writer's Museum last Thursday. We had a great turn out.  Also, thank you for providing snacks--we had some very hungry writers!

June 24th- June 28th:

This week, we will cover the following in each subject...and much, much more!

Math

• 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
• 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 problems using information presented in a bar graph

 

Language Arts

• Read and comprehend literature, including stories, and poetry, in the grades 2-3 text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range
• Produce complete sentences when appropriate to task and situation in order to provide requested detail or clarification
• Write narratives in which a well-elaborated event or short sequence of events is re-counted and told in details to describe actions, thoughts, and feelings, use temporal words to signal event order, and provide a sense of closure
• With guidance and support from adults and peers, focus on a topic and strengthen writing as needed by revising and editing

Research

• Interpret maps of the school and community that contain symbols, legends and cardinal directions
• Interpret the meaning of symbols and the location of physical and human features on a map (cities, railroads, countries, continents, oceans, etc.)
