School: Fireside School Teacher Name: Mrs. Cooledge Homeroom/Grade/Course: 2 Week of: May 11-15 _____________________________________________________________________________________

General Comments:

I hope that this plan finds you all well and that you are finding the activities meaningful and are having some fun with them. I will be hosting Zoom sessions this week and will send out more information on those once the dates and times have been finalized.

I have posted some neat activities in the “just for fun” folder on the website if you are looking for ideas or activities to engage your children in something other than the schoolwork in the plan below.

Please remember that this plan is intended to provide you with approximately 5 hours of work for your child throughout the week. How you structure that time is completely up to you and what works for your family.

In math, we will continue with the same focus: practicing subtraction with 1- and 2-digit numbers.

In language arts we will continue to focus on reading, spelling patterns and the parts of a story.

Language Arts Activity #1: Read to Self

Description of Activity or Task:

Students have been working throughout the school year to increase their reading stamina. Developing the stamina to read 15 or more minutes at a time on their own is encouraged. Estimate of Time Required: 15-20 minutes daily Demonstration of Learning I would like the students to work on sustained silent reading this week. Sustained Silent Reading looks like this: 1. find a comfortable spot 2. staying there for the duration of the time set 3. looking at books the entire time. The students will likely need to have a few books with them so they can have choice and start a new book when one is finished. There is no assessment for this week’s reading task.

Estimate of Time Required: 15-20 minutes daily

Resources: Epic books/ Raz kids/ home books

Language Arts Activity #3: Book Report


Read or listen to a story of your choice. You can use one from the read alouds from the Fireside website, a book from your home, Epic, Storyline online or another source. Once you have read or listened to the book discuss the elements of the story (setting, characters, beginning, middle and end). Students can also go to https://jr.brainpop.com/readingandwriting/ to access some more information and fun activities that go over the parts of a story. They can even do the games and the quiz at the end! Then complete the page found in the Language Arts Folder. This page asks students to identify the elements of the story, then they can colour and decorate the page. Please send me the finished product. Estimate of Time Required: 30 minutes

Language Arts Activity #4: Roll a Story


Students will roll a dice 3 times once for each column, to mix and match different story elements, circling the elements that they rolled on the chart. Then they are to use those elements to write their own story! If they are unhappy with one of the rolls they can roll again, or just select one of the elements listed. They can write their story on the page included, or on a separate piece of lined paper. I encourage lined paper to help students practice proper line spacing and neatness.

Estimate of Time Required: 30 minutes

Math Activity #1: 2-digit Subtraction Strategies


Students will continue to work on subtracting 2-digit numbers without regrouping (borrowing). They can go back and watch the videos on the website for the different strategies before they choose one to use to answer the questions. The students can choose whichever strategy that they like the best for these questions (they can use more than one on the page if they like). However, I do expect them to show their work so I know which strategy was chosen.

**Please also complete the reflection or jot notes on their page to let me know how your child did with this activity (how much support did they need?).

Estimate of Time Required: 20 minutes

Resources:

The worksheet is found on the school website at: https://fireside.rockyview.ab.ca/Members/mcooledge/classroom-info/math


Please submit the math sheets as well as the self-reflection page or your comments on their page.

*This is a summative assignment to gauge their progress with 2-digit subtraciton.

Math Activity #2:


Log into mathletics and complete any assigned work, then play mathletics live to improve speed in computing the basic facts. The main focus will be subtraction this week.

Estimate of Time Required: 3 X 10-15-minute sessions

Resources: www.Mathletics.ca

Please contact me if you need your child’s log-in information.


I will be checking on the students’ progress on the assigned tasks in the program.

Math Activity #3: Math Games


Play the math games from last week again, or here are some new ones to try: (look in this week’s math folder on the website for 1 page instructions for each math game if you’d like to print them out.

Doubles Race to 100: This is a two-player game to reinforce counting or skip-counting. It is ideal as a math warm-up to get kids excited about math, regardless of age! Object: to be the first to write all of the numbers from 1-100 Materials: two dice, 1 pencil, a piece of paper for each player

Players take turns rolling the dice. Once one player rolls a set of doubles, she takes the pen and begins writing the numbers from 1-100 on her paper. As she is writing, the other player rolls the dice, trying to roll doubles. As soon as he rolls doubles, he calls out, “Doubles!” and takes the pen. He begins writing the numbers from 1-100. As he is writing, Player 1 keeps rolling. Once she gets doubles again, she begins writing from where she left off, trying to get all the way to 100.

Play continues until one player reaches 100.

Salute:

Set-Up and Preparation: Get into a group of three. Each group needs a deck of cards, with the face cards and jokers taken out (just keep the numbers 2-10). Player #1 and Player #2 sit facing one another, with the deck of cards between them. Player #3 sits off to the side so that he/she can see both players' faces. How To Play: • Player #1 and #2 each pick up a card, and without looking at it, place it on their foreheads. They can see what each other has, but they do not know which card they are holding. • Player #3 (who can see both cards) mentally adds the cards together and says the sum out loud. For example, if Player #1 is holding a 6 and Player #2 is holding a 10, Player #3 says “16.” • Once Player #3 has said the sum out loud, Players #1 and #2 each try to figure out what card he/she is holding. So if the sum is 16, and Player #1 can see that Player #2 is holding a 10, he can perform a mental subtraction equation to figure out what he has (16-10=6). The first player to correctly state which card they are holding keeps both cards. The player with the most cards at the end of the game wins. Estimate of Time Required: 3 X 15-25-minute sessions
