This week all books will come from Epic Reading - I will be sending 4 books to your mailbox, by the end of the week.
Show Some Respect -
Read the story. This is independent reading - if a word is too hard, hover your mouse over it, until you see an outline, then click on it to hear it read aloud.
Discussion: talk about what Jack was struggling with. How could he help himself with his problem? What did he learn from Isaiah? Do you agree? Explain your ideas.
Use the glossary (at the back of the book) Tell which each word (on this activity) means.
Writing:
The focus for June will be on journal writing.
The children can choose an idea of their own, or one from one of these calendars. For organizational purposes, these can be downloaded, and the ideas can be crossed off as they are used (that way you don't have to do them in order:
Calendar 2
Grade 2s should be able to write about 2 journal entries a week. Journals can be about day to day things, ideas, opinions, reminiscences, even creative stories.
By this time of year, include:
- 50 or more words
- correct use of capitals, periods.
- beginning to add more details to ideas to make them more interesting. (example. I like my dog, mostly because he is so funny. Some things he does are sleeping with his nose pointing at the floor, and making funny noises when we tell him no.)

Geometric Shapes Quiz
Use the shapes printout and the card maker printout. Make at least 12 cards (2 pages of the print-out)
Glue the shapes on one side.
On the same side, have at least 3 clues for a riddle. Start a new line for each clue:
Examples:
I have four sides
I have four corners
Two of my sides are the same size
Two of my sides are not the same size
but are parallel.
What am I?
I have one line
I have no straight lines
I am not a circle
I look like an egg
What am I?
Game: Deal the cards out face down. (For Social Distancing in class, each keep your own set) Conceal the card in your hand when reading the clues out.
Only ONE guess for each clue, or you automatically lose your turn.
Scoring: Guess the first clue 3
Guess by the second clue 2
Guess by the third and rest of clues 1

Geometric Shapes build a picture
Use the shapes printout.
Trace or cut shapes out (better, as they can lay down the shapes, and plan more easily), include many as you can in your picture.
At the bottom of the picture, include a sketch and a name for each shape you used.
