2nd Grade: Learning Packet for the Week of June 1st-June 5th
Math Resource Page A: What is Subtraction?
The next three weeks you will be learning about subtraction. The strategies listed here give students a deeper understanding of how subtraction works. So, while there are more ways to subtract than what are listed here, we encourage you to try using these strategies.
It’s giving away. How many do you have left?
I had 10 pencils. I gave 4 to my friend.
!!!!!!!!!!It’s finding the difference. How many more books?
I read 9 books Monday &&&&&&&&&
I read 4 books Tuesday &&&& 5 more books
It’s the distance between two points on a number line. 14-9=
It’s related to addition (number bond/fact family/fact triangle):
13-6=7 6+7=13
13-7=6 7+6=13
17
2nd Grade: Learning Packet for the Week of June 1st-June 5th
Math Resource Page B:
When subtracting larger numbers, it’s the same thing!
With bigger numbers, you can represent the number with tens and ones, instead of just ones. Your goal is to have an efficient strategy. If you don’t have enough ones to “take away”, you ungroup a ten.
It’s giving away. How many do you have left?
I had 41 dollars. I spent 25 dollars.
We represented the problem here with money, but you can draw quick tens, too. When you draw your quick tens for the total, you will see if you need to ungroup a ten to subtract.
41 – 25 = 15
I need to ungroup a ten so I can take away 5 ones.
18
2nd Grade: Learning Packet for the Week of June 1st-June 5th
You can’t subtract upside down! 45 is the answer to 68-23, not 63-28. To solve 63-28 we have to ungroup a 10 first.
Math Resource Page C:
In order to subtract accurately, it’s helpful to first visualize what you’re taking from and be able to efficiently rename numbers.
Parents: The common error second graders make is “subtracting upside down”.
63
-28
45
You can show this thinking using expanded form, too! + 13 63 = 50
- 28 = - 20 + 8
35 = 30 + 5
There are some fun poems to help you solve – problems:
More on top? No need to stop!
57 the top
-21 the floor 36
More on the floor? Go next door. 51 = 40 + 11
-27 -20 -7
24 = 20 + 4
Number’s the same? Zero’s the game. 57
-27
30
Rename 63 to 50+13.
Then cross out 28.
19
2nd Grade: Learning Packet for the Week of June 1st-June 5th
Math Resource Page D:
It’s finding the difference. How many more library books?
Monday checkout 92 &
Tuesday checkout 48 & ?
There are many ways to find the missing addend.
48 + ___ = 92
Using an open number line is a great strategy to solve for this.
You can count down 48 from 92, or count up. I prefer up.
48 + 44 = 92
+10 +10 +10 +10
+1 +1 +1 +1
48 58 68 78 88 89 90 91 92
92 – 48 = 44
Addition Check: Because of their relationship, we can check our work!
48 = 40 + 8
+44 = 40 + 4
92 = 80 + 12 48+44=92, so
92-48= 44 ü
vvvvvv vvvvv vvvvv vvvvv
It checks out!

Day 2: Solve using the strategies on Math Resource page C
75 = 70 + 5 75 = 60 + 15
62 = 60 + ___ 62 = 50 + ___
93 = ___ + ___ 93 = ___ + ___
Now try these strategies to solve: More on top? No need to stop! 93
-41
More on the floor? Go next door. 62
-38
Number’s the same? Zero’s the game. 75
-45
Hint: The answer is NOT 36.

Day 2 Writing
Learning Target: I can complete a writing web for a topic that I know.
Hi kids! Great job on writing heartfelt letters to your teachers last week! Your
teacher was very happy to receive your letter. ☺
On Memorial Day, we honor people we have loved and lost. In honor of this day,
our writing will focus on thinking about and honoring heroes in our lives.
You will be writing a paragraph about someone in your life that you consider to be
a hero.
You will start by filling out a writing web with attributes that heroes have and
your hero has as well. An attribute is a quality or trait that a person has. For
example, my friend is kind. Kind is an attribute my friend has.
Use this week’s reading passages as a resource.
1. Think about who you consider to be a hero. On the blank writing web, write that
person’s name in the center circle of the web.
2. Reread the passage, “What Makes A Someone Hero“. Highlight or underline
words that describe attributes of a hero. If one of the words you underline
describes your hero, write that in a circle on the
web. For example, I read that
heroes are brave. My grandma was
definitely very brave, so I wrote
brave in a circle on my writing web.
3. Using the passage and your own ideas,
finish filling out the web with
attributes that describe your hero.
**Save your web for tomorrow’s
writing task!

ReadWorks" What Makes Someone A Hero
What Makes Someone A Hero
Heroes are people who do something brave, unusual, or important. Heroes
are men and women who take risks. They make a positive difference in the
world.
Some heroes lived long ago. George Washington was the first president of
the United States. Some heroes did great things recently. Sally Ride was an
astronaut and an educator, and the first American woman to go into space.
Some of the greatest heroes did not just do remarkable things that made
them famous. In their everyday lives, they behaved in ways that made people
admire their character. Character is a group of qualities that make up who a
person is. Heroes are often people with great character.
Many people with great character are honest. Honest people tell the truth,
even when it is hard to do.
Someone with great character may also be compassionate. A compassionate
person cares about others and works to help them.
A person with great character may also be responsible. Responsible people
do things they promised to do. Other people can depend on them.
Heroes can combine great actions with great character. Now think: Do you
have a hero?

Day 3 Writing:
Learning Target: I can write a paragraph about my hero. I included:
A hook/topic sentence
2-3 reasons that support my topic sentence
Examples or details to explain my reasons
A closing sentence
A hero is someone we think of as special because of the good or brave things that person has
done. Yesterday you completed a web with the name and attributes of your hero. Now we are
going to turn the web into our draft paragraph.
Let’s start with a hook. Remember, a hook is a sentence that grabs your reader’s
attention.
A hero doesn’t always wear a cape, they can be an ordinary person.
Now it’s your turn to write a hook:
Now, I will write my topic sentence. In my topic sentence I will give the name of my hero.
My Grandma is my hero for many reasons.
Now it’s your turn to write a topic sentence:
23
I will now give three reasons why my chosen person is a hero. I will use attributes from
my web. I will also give examples for my reasons.
First, my Grandma was talented at baking. She taught me how to cook. For example, I
learned to measure all the ingredients to bake a cake.
Next, my Grandma had a beautiful voice! She liked to sing songs from when she was a girl.
Her singing made the whole house feel cheerful.
Last, my Grandma was wise. She had learned many things in her life. If I did not know how
to solve a problem, she would help me figure out what I should do. She taught me how to be
wise too.
Now it’s your turn to write 2-3 reasons why the person you chose is a hero. Use the
attributes from your web. Give examples, or details, for your reasons.
24
Now I will write my closing sentence for my paragraph. I will use my topic sentence to
write my closing by restating it in a different way.
Ordinary people can make a big difference. That is why my Grandma is my hero.
Now it’s your turn to write a closing sentence. Remember to use your topic sentence, but
restate it in a different way.
Save this writing for tomorrow’s learning activity!
25
What is a Hook?
It is the first sentence to grab your reader’s attention!
Example opinion statement: Dogs are better than cats.
These are different types of hooks and examples for my opinion statement.
Question:
Have you ever been
jumped on by a dog? I
have, they are strong. Sound Effect:
RUFF RUFF! Carbon, my
dog is barking at a
squirrel.
Fun Fact:
Dogs noses are wet to
help them smell better.
They are great smellers! Visualizing/
Story
Carbon’s tail is wagging side
to side while he jumps on me
and knocks me down.
Dialogue:
“Carbon sit. Good boy. Lay
down. Good dog.” I said.
Dogs are great at
following directions.

Ferndale Elementary P.E. Grades K-2 (edition 4) Student Outcomes I can understand the components of fitness. I can demonstrate daily health and fitness habits. I can take care of my body. I can explain what food does for my body.
Fitness Components of the week are Speed and Agility and Muscular Strength
Speed and Agility is two parts, speed: how fast can you run or turn a jump rope; agility: can you start and stop quickly, can you change direction fast and without falling over? You must be very focused for your brain and muscles to work together to quickly do the task when working on speed and agility.
Activities for Speed and agility: Hop Scotch Sports with lots of moving and Jump rope changes in direction such as:
Basketball
1 - Game: Wacky Weave Wacky Weave: In this game, you will use your speed and agility to weave through a course that you design. You will need to set up the course by placing cones, canned goods, stuffed animals, or other objects spaced like the picture above. Space them close together for a challenge or far apart to make it a little easier. -To play you might want a timer or stopwatch. On "go" weave in and out of the cones (or other objects) as fast as you can. -You can go from one end to the other and stop or turn around and come back to the start. -For more challenges you can add a ball to dribble with your feet or balance a book on your head. -Get creative and have fun!
Muscular Strength is how strong are your muscles? You need strong arms to play on the monkey bars, strong
legs to run while playing tag, and a strong core to keep upright on your bike.
Activities for muscular strength Push-up Monkey Bars
41
Shoulder Touches Squats Lunges Rock Climbing
Let's get wild! In this 7-minute activity, you will use your strong muscles to pretend to be wild animals. -You need a timer or stopwatch. -Do each activity for 45 seconds followed by a rest for 15 seconds. -Be sure to play this in an area with plenty of safe self-space.

BEAT, RHYTHM & TEMPO: May 26-29 Ferndale K-2 Elementary Music: Lesson 4 Paper Supplement
Directions: If you have a computer and online access, you may wish to do the online lesson at this link: https://sway.office.com/dxFi913u4CmJfxiM?ref=Link&loc=mysways Complete the Exit Ticket at the end, and your answers will be recorded online for your music teacher to see.
If you would rather use this paper version of the lesson, or if it works better for your family, we hope to provide you with the same information as best we can. (We really miss interacting with your children and would much rather see them in person!) Please follow the lesson below. Thank you for working so hard with your children!
Student Outcomes: Why is steady beat important? How is beat different from rhythm? What does tempo mean?
Lesson Review and New Concepts of the Week:
We already learned that pitch is the highness or lowness of one single sound. Melody is a series of pitches put together in a row, and harmony happens when two or more pitches are played at the same time.
In this lesson we will learn about beat, rhythm, and tempo.
You probably already know that beat is steady like a heartbeat. Each beat takes up the same amount of time and is kind of like a space where the sounds live. There can be one or more sounds in a beat space. There can even be silence in a beat space. The mixed up long and short sounds and silences in the beats are the rhythm. Rhythm matches the words in a song. When you listen to music, the beat is the part that makes you want to tap your toes and get up and move, but the rhythm is the part that makes the music more interesting.
Without a rhythm, you don't have a song, you just have a plain beat. Without a beat, you have a rhythm that sounds messy. You need both beat and rhythm to make a song sound just right. They are like BFF's! They need each other!
Tempo is how fast or slow the beat of the music is. Music with a fast beat has a fast tempo and music with a slow beat has a slow tempo.
Songs for Singing and Making Music
Find a light. It could be a flashlight, laser pin, headlamp, cell phone, or toy that lights up. Go into a dark room like a bathroom or closet. Turn off the main lights and point your light at the floor, move it slowly up the wall to the ceiling and back down. Now follow the light with your voice. While singing “oo”, slide your voice from low to high as you move the light up the wall. Slide your voice from high to low as you move the light down the wall. Now move the light around in different ways always following the light with your voice.
Think about a song that you learned in music class this year or put on your favorite song. Keep the beat on your lap while you sing. If you want to get creative, find different ways to keep the beat. (Try marching, clapping, snapping, or any other movement that works for you.)

Show the beat and rhythm using the first chart: 1. Read the Apple Tree poem below out loud. 2. Read the poem while tapping the beat on your lap. 3. Each heart represents a beat. Read the poem and tap each heart as you read the words. 4. The words below each heart make up the rhythm. Read the poem and clap the words.
Write the rhythm on the second chart: 1. The rhythm is now shown in apples and apple halves. Two apple halves show two sounds per beat. One
whole apple means one sound per beat. 2. Write ♫above the two apple halves. We call this rhythm note ta-di. 3. Write ♩ above the apple whole. We call this rhythm note ta.

Tempo Activity: Remember, tempo is the speed of the beats. Practice saying the Apple Tree poem out loud while walking slowly. This speed is called andante. Now say the poem while marching. This tempo is moderato (medium). Lastly, run while saying the poem. This tempo is allegro.
