Learning Activities Grads 2-3 for the week of May 11-15...Monday, May 11 th 9:40 – 9:55am 2 nd -...

Learning Activities 2nd and 3rd Grade

Suggested Learning Activities for 2nd and 3rd Grade students during the COVID-19 school closure.

Seattle Public Schools is committed to making its online information accessible and usable to all people, regardless of ability or technology. Meeting web accessibility guidelines and standards is an ongoing process that we are consistently working to improve.

While Seattle Public Schools endeavors to only post documents optimized for accessibility, due to the nature and complexity of some documents, an accessible version of the document may not be available. In these limited circumstances, the District will provide equally effective alternate access.

Due to the COVID-19 closure, teachers were asked to provide packets of home activities. This is not intended to take the place of regular classroom instruction but will help supplement student learning and provide opportunities for student learning while they are absent from school. Assignments are not required or graded. Because of the unprecedented nature of this health crisis and the District’s swift closure, some home activities may not be accessible.

If you have difficulty accessing the material or have any questions, please contact your student’s teacher.

Family Reading Activities

Talking about books and sharing ideas together at home is an important part of reading for students. Below are suggestions for engaging in reading conversations with your child that will help them better understand what they read.

Adult Family Members/Guardians Ask your child:

• “What do you think about what you just read?” • “What new information did you learn?” • “What do you already know about this topic?”

For example: Before reading about polar bears you might ask, “What do you know about polar bears?”

Students • After you read, share what you learned with someone at home. • Tell someone at home what you wondered about as you read. • After you read, talk to someone at home about the important

ideas in the book. Why are those ideas important?

Reading Conversations– When talking about reading at home, use the language most comfortable for your family.

To Support Reading Comprehension - Students who have difficulty reading on their own should be encouraged to:

• Listen to books and follow along as someone else reads • Practice reading “just-right” books on their own

Dear WPO, I want to adopt a rabbit. I have a big hutch outside in my yard. I read somewhere that rabbits shouldn’t be in temperatures over 80 degrees. Where I live, it sometimes gets pretty hot. I need to wear a T-shirt and shorts, and I drink a lot of water. If I adopt a rabbit, is it safe for me to keep him in the hutch outside?

Thanks for your help. Carissa

Do you think it is safe for Carissa to keep a rabbit outside where she lives?

Is there any other information she could provide that would help you fgure this out?

1. In this lesson, we learned more about measuring rainfall. Explain why we need to know how much rain falls at the three islands in order to make a decision about where to put the orangutan reserve.

2. Here is the weather data for one day at the three islands.

Do you think it is easy or difficult to tell which island has the hottest temperature?

Do you think it is easy or difficult to tell which island has the most rainfall?

3. Why do meteorologists need to measure rainfall using a standard measurement like millimeters?-

4. Write one question you have about measuring weather:

Dear 2nd Grade Families, Here are some math learning activities you can do at home with your child during this week. If there are games or activities that your child especially enjoys, continue playing beyond this week!

This week’s focus – for this packet and video lesson (found at SeattleSchools.org) – is addition and subtraction strategies. Counting on, Counting up, and skip counting are important parts of these strategies. Encourage students to always be counting. This week we’ve included some Choral Counting activities for families to do together.

We have a new game this week called fill the stairs. This clever game requires the thoughtful placement of two-digit numbers in order, before all the numbers are known. It is fun and compelling. The kind of game that you want to try again right after finishing the last game.

Stay well everyone. We will see you soon.

Fill the Stairs Each player has a staircase. Take turns rolling the dice or draw two cards (0-9) to make a two-digit number. Write it in on one of the stairs.

• Numbers must increase if they are on a higher stair. • Each number you write in must be bigger than all the numbers below it, • Or smaller than all the numbers above it. • In this example playing 46 is fine because it is greater than 41. • 24 is not because it less than 46. • If you can’t use a number, write down the number under the stairs,

and your turn is over.

The game is over if someone fills in all the steps in their staircase.

Materials: Pencil, Paper, Staircase, and 0-9 dice or cards. Google ‘roll dice’ to roll virtual dice or use cards below.

What Comes Next?

What do you notice?

What do you wonder?

What comes next? Show or tell what the next few pictures look like. Describe how you know what would come next.

Challenge: What will the 10th picture look like? Why do you think so?

What might earlier and later pictures look like? Why do you think so?

Make your own colorful pattern (or use this one) and share with someone in your house. See what they think.

Task

Peyton said, “I can solve 47 + 65” and he showed this strategy.

47 + 65 = 100 + 12 = 112

Presley said, “That doesn’t make sense. Explain why that works.”

Draw a diagram to show Peyton’s thinking.

Explain Peyton’s strategy and why it works.

Create an Equation Use any of the digits 1 to 7, but not more than once. Fill in the boxes to create a true equation.

Subtraction to Get the Smallest Difference

Using the digits 1 to 9, but not more than once. Fill the boxes below to create the smallest possible difference.

Subtraction without Regrouping

Use the digits 1 to 9, but not more than once. Fill in the boxes so that you would not need to regroup when you subtract. Make sure your number is less than 63.

Extension: Explain why you do NOT need to regroup using your number.

Subtraction with Regrouping

Directions: Use the digits 1 to 9 but not more than once. Fill in the boxes to make the difference equal to 39.

Hint: what must be true in the ones place to have a difference of 9?

Solve to answer these questions

Dear 3rd Grade Families, Here are some math learning activities you can do at home with your child during this week. If there are games or activities that your child especially enjoys, continue playing beyond this week!

This week’s focus – for this packet and video lesson (found at SeattleSchools.org) – is reasoning about unit fractions and the size of unit fractions based on the denominator. Counting by unit fractions is an important skill – especially when unit fractions add up to whole numbers. This week we’ve included some Choral Counting activities for families to do together.

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Variations: Change the number at the top or bottom of the stairs. 3rd graders can play with unit fractions – Write 1 a the top of the stairs. Use a numerator of 1. Roll 1 number to be the denominator. What happens when you pick a 1 or 0?


What Comes Next?

What do you notice?

What do you wonder?


Challenge: Will there ever be an orange rectangle that is a whole number of inches long? How do you know?

Which One Doesn’t Belong?

Choose one rectangle in this picture that you don’t think belongs with the rest.

A. B.

C. D.

Explain why your choice doesn’t belong.

Can you pick another rectangle and give a different reason?

What fraction of each rectangle is shaded in?

Which rectangle do you think has the greatest area shaded in?

A. Greatest? Y / N C. Greatest? Y / N

B. Greatest? Y / N D. Greatest? Y / N

Use these unit strips to help compare the fractions below.

When we compare fractions, it is important to compare the same ‘Whole’.

My glass is only ¼ full but that is still more than my brother’s class that is ½ full.

Think about why that is.

Compare that to the circles in the sample below.

Identify a Fraction on a Number Line

1. Label the point where 3/4 belongs on the number line. Be as precise as possible.

Hint: Think about how you can identify where 1 whole is located on the number line. Will this help you find ¾?

Hello from the Arts!

The Visual & Performing Arts team in Seattle Public Schools has put together arts lessons to continue learning while we are away from school. This week has lessons in General Music and Elementary Instrumental Music. We have designed the lessons so they require minimal materials (things you can find at home).

We want English learners to continue to engage in the arts. The arts are a great way in which we incorporate all domains of language, reading, writing, speaking and listening. When your child has created an art project, think about ways that they can describe what they have done. Asking saying things like, “Can you tell me more?” or “Describe what you have done.” are great ways your student can use rich and descriptive language. Students could add labels to their creations. This work can all be done in your home language or English!

How much art should I do? • To meet elementary standards in the arts, students should engage in 60 minutes per week

of the arts discipline(s) taught at their school. You can always do more! • Making art doesn’t have to happen all at once as students can create in small 10-minute

sections or stay with it for as long as they like.

Why is art making important right now? • The arts are a way to express thoughts and feelings. • The arts help students say what cannot be said by showing it in different ways. • The arts are a way for students to show multiple perspectives and that all perspectives

matter. • The arts are a way for students to engage in other subjects. For example, create a play

about the immune system, draw a picture for the beginning, middle, and end of a story, or create a rhythm for how they are feeling.

Arts Videos Check out the arts videos on SPS TV Channel 26 and the SPS YouTube Channel. Search for the arts discipline and pick a video! https://www.youtube.com/c/SeattlePublicSchoolsTV

Thank you for keeping the arts as part of your child’s education while we’re on this break away from school. Explore. Engage. Have fun!

Sincerely, Gail Sehlhorst Visual & Performing Arts Program Manager

When you write a song, the words of your song provide a chance to share how you’re feeling, what you’re thinking, and your observations about the world. Let’s use what we know about rhythms and syllables to write a song!

STEP 1: Take a look at the rhythms in

Step 4 below. If you’ve already learned these rhythms, you can say or

clap each one with a steady tempo. If you haven’t learned about them yet, you can count the number of notes and imagine their sound, or just make your very own.

Anything is okay!

STEP 2: After looking at the rhythms in Step 4 below, make a list of words you think of when you hear, “I’m going on a nice Springtime walk.” You might think of words like, flowers in bloom, bears in windows, or nice and fresh smells. Even if you don’t often go on walks, you might like to imagine the sights, smells, sounds, and feelings of being outside on a sunny day.

Some examples: Bloom Clouds Flower Springtime Birds singing Sun shining bright

STEP 3: Count the number of sounds

in the rhythm in Step 4 and the number of syllables in each of your words/phrases

in Step 2. If they don’t match, can you change the number of syllables in your word or phrase by adding or subtracting. For example,

the rhythm in Step 4 has 5

sounds, but flowers in bloom only has 4 syllables. If we change the words to: purple flowers bloom, (which also has 5 syllables) then it matches the rhythm.

Create your world list here:

• (bloom=1)

• • • • •

STEP 4: Write your words beneath the rhythms. Write one syllable per sound. For example,

q q sd q purple flo-wers bloom

See next page…

Now it is your turn! Place your words and phrases on the lines below. If you feel comfortable,

try matching your words and phrases to the rhythm on each line.

q q sd q

STEP 5: Perform your song for someone else—a family member, a pet, a stuffy, or virtually with

a friend or teacher.
