While reading, stop & jot to hold onto your thoughts with a quick symbol. Jot a symbol on a sticky note or scratch paper that shows your thinking about that part and place it on the page to mark your spot. Each day choose 1 of your jots and share with a family member. Remember to tell them what is happening in that part, why you chose that part and your thinking about it. For example: “My favorite part was ____ because _____.” OR “In this part, _____ I thought it was surprising because ______.”

Second Grade Writing-Pick from some of the

activities below, remember transition words, good descriptions, capitals, and punctuation. Share your writing with your teacher, if you like. Have fun! What is something you are scared of? What would make it less scary?” Are spiders scary? Would they still be scary if they were pink and fluffy? Are you frightened of clowns? Think of how ridiculous a clown would look like wearing all his clown clothes, but no makeup! Imagine you have $1 million to give away to others. Who will you give money to?” Consider what good you could do if you had the chance to make others’ lives better. Would you give the

money to friends or family members, donate to charity, or fund the next technological or scientific breakthrough?

Write your own comics! https://jarrettlerner.com/activities/

Think of the best amusement park rides you have ever been on. Imagine a ride that you design yourself. Draw a picture of it. Label the different parts. For inspiration watch: Harry Potter Virtual Ride: https://www.travelandleisure.com/attractions/amusement-parks/universal-studios-harry-potter-and-the-forbidden-journey-virtual-

Disney Rides:

https://www.travelandleisure.com/trip-ideas/disney-vacations/watch-disney-rides-on-youtube

Draw a picture of one part of your ride and describe in detail what will happen to the people who ride. What will they see, how will they feel? Use strong descriptive words. Next, write an advertisement that will get

people to come to your ride. Start with a hook (a question is always a good start). Talk about the details of your ride that people will love and why. End it with a conclusion and sell it. Practice reading your advertisement out loud with expression (edit for capitals, punctuation, spelling).

On Friday write an email to your teacher. Include a greeting, 5 sentences, a closing, transition words, and ask a question. When you are done writing, reread your email and edit before sending. Include a photo if you like! We will write you back! deremeri@issaquah.wednet.edu perkink@issaquah.wednet.edu

Write a paragraph about what you learned. What are you still wondering?

Plants, part 1: Plant Growth

Watch the video How Does a Seed Become a Plant?

Plants, part 2: Watch the Germinator video to see a fun way to see seeds start to grow.

Follow the steps in the video to

“plant” your seeds. If you have

different kinds of seeds, put them in

different baggies and label them. In our study of plants and organisms we learned that each part of a plant has certain jobs or functions: Leaves, stems and roots work together as a system to help the plant function. Tiny holes in leaves allow plants to take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen and water. Your job this week is to pick a flower or plant that is just starting to grow and sprout and observe it.

1. You can start with a hypothesis such as: I think by the end of the week my flower will grow 4 inches

and the flower will open.

2. Every day write down your observation along with the date. Draw a sketch, measure, and label it. (If

you don’t have a ruler, you can use a string, Legos, or anything you have at home). We have learned to

measure with other items at school.

3. At the end of the week you will be able to see from your observations what has changed and how

much it has grown.

4. Then on Friday write if you proved or disproved your hypotheses. I proved/disproved my hypothesis

because_______________.

Have fun observing!
