Social Studies Topic: Citizenship Role Models The actions of individuals throughout history serve as models of responsible citizenship. One example is Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah. Emmanuel was born in Ghana, West Africa. Due to having one malformed leg, he was underestimated by many. As a child he triumphed over many obstacles - hopping 2+ miles to school daily, playing soccer, and becoming a cyclist, riding 400 miles to demonstrate that disability is not the same as inability. He is a role model showing that anything is possible if you believe in yourself and persevere. Activity: Think of a historical figure you know of (president, scientist, explorer, etc.) and write about how s/he demonstrated the qualities of a good citizen and the impact s/he had.

Social Studies Topic: Choosing Me or Us Responsible citizens understand that they must balance individual rights with personal responsibility. In fact, we have a responsibility to protect not only our own rights, but one another's as well. The founders of the United States of America believed we would only succeed as a country if the citizens were good citizens. For instance in America we have the right to believe as we wish, but along with this right comes the responsibility of protecting/not interfering with others’ right to practice their religious beliefs. Activity: For each of the following rights we enjoy as citizens, list at least one responsibility that goes along with this right: The right of free speech, The right to be treated equally, and The right to vote.

Science: Rulers and Measurement Scientists use a special system called the metric system to describe and compare the size of matter. Today we will be using centimeters (cm) to describe and compare objects in your home. You will see a grey square on pg. 6 diagram 1. That square is exactly 1 cm long and 1 cm tall. Your assignment for today is to organize a list of objects that are smaller than, exactly and bigger than 1 cm. You will need a piece of paper, your pencil and pg. 6 to complete the assignment. Create a data chart with three columns. Label each column with “Smaller Than, Exactly, and Bigger Than.” pg. 6 diagram 2 Now, walk around your house and place an object on or in the grey square on this paper. Does it fit inside the box? If yes, list that object under smaller. Does it cover the box completely? If yes, list that object under bigger. Does it fit exactly within the lines? If yes, list that object under the same. Be creative as you look for objects to compare. Make sure to get permission from a caregiver as you look in areas like the living room, kitchen, bedroom, pantry, and bathroom. Have fun on your centimeter exploration and make sure to share your findings with a caregiver. (NC 2 Science as Inquiry) Optional Enrichment Resources: bit.ly/CMS-centimeter

Science: Rulers and Measurement Scientists use a ruler to describe and compare matter. A ruler has two different measuring units. One side has 30 centimeters (cm) and the other side has 12 inches. If you have a ruler, find the centimeter side and use it for today's lesson. If you do not have a ruler at home, you can make your own using a piece of lined notebook paper. Find the red line and turn it sideways. Begin with 0 and number each line until the end of the paper or you can use the ruler on pg. 6 diagram 7. Today you will be measuring length and organizing your data to compare items shorter than 10 cm, Exactly 10 cm and longer than 10 cm. Create a data chart with headers “Shorter Than 10 cm, Exactly 10 cm, and Longer Than 10 cm.” pg. 6 diagram 4. Get permission again to look in areas around your home for objects to measure. Make sure to note the object and length on the chart. For example: water bottle 19 cm, would go under the “longer than 10 cm” column. Once you have three for each column, stop and notice. Which object was the shortest, which object was the longest? How many objects did you find that were exactly 10 cm? Share your findings with a caregiver.

Day 35


Science: Balance and Measurement Scientists use a pan balance to observe and compare the weight of objects. For today’s lesson, you will be comparing the weight of objects. If you have a kitchen scale or bathroom scale you may use those. However, if you do not, you can make a hanger balance scale pg. 6 diagram 5. Materials you will need are; a hanger, string (yarn, wire, dental floss) and 2 containers that are the same.. You will need a caregiver to help you. Tie the string around the container and attach 3 equal length pieces of string. Attach the opposite end of the string to the hanger. Then hang the hanger on a doorknob and begin comparing the weight of small objects by placing them, one at a time in each cup. What do you notice happening? Is one cup lower/higher than the other? What does this mean? Create a T-chart to record your data. Your headings are lighter and heavier. Once you have compared and recorded several pairs of items. Go back and compare all the lighter items to find the lightest. Do the same for the heavier items. Share your findings with a caregiver.

Day 37


Science: Graduated Cylinders and Volume Volume is the amount of space matter takes up. Today we will be exploring liquid volume. In the classroom, we use graduated cylinders to measure liquids. At home, you can use a measuring cup or plastic drinking cup pg. 6 diagram 6. With a caregivers permission, get five different size plastic containers to determine volume, a plastic drinking/measuring cup, a piece of paper, and a pencil. Create a T-chart with one column labeled Container and the second column labeled Number of Cups. It will be best if you can do this experience over an empty sink. Label the containers as container 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Make a prediction to tell which container will hold the most cups of water and therefore have the largest volume. Take turns placing the containers into the sink and using the cup to fill the container with water. Keep track of the number of cups it takes to fill. When the container is full, record using tally marks the number of cups it took to fill the container. That is the volume of the container. When you have determined the volume of all five containers, order them from the least to the greatest volume. Then, think back to your prediction. Were you correct or did you need to adjust your prediction? Did any container surprise you? (NC 2 Science as Inquiry) Optional Enrichment Resource: bit.ly/CMS-liters

Day 21 Exploring Compare ProblemsWhen we solve problems that involve comparing two amounts or considering how much more or how many fewer one amount is than another, we are solving Compare problems. Today, we will look at Compare Difference Unknown Problems where we find the amount that is more than the other amount. (NC.2.OA.1)

Compare Difference Unknown (more)

Problem Solving Strategy:1. Read and think about the problem. Turn the paper

over and retell the story that is happening in your mind.

2. Write an equation to represent the comparison situation. If you are given two amounts to compare- to find how many more or how many fewer- you can write a subtraction equation to find the difference between the two amounts. You can also write an additional equation adding the unknown difference to the smaller amount. If you know one amount and how many more/fewer the other amount is, then you could write an equation to show adding the more amount or subtracting the fewer amount. Always carefully read the problem to know which is more- adding the more amount to the smaller quantity (even if it is the unknown amount) or subtracting the fewer amount from the larger quantity (even if it is the unknown amount). Use a blank in the equation to hold a place for the part you don’t know (the part you are trying to find out).

3.Use bars to represent the two quantities and the unknown amount. Once you have your equation, you can use an open number line to find the sum or difference.

4.Put the missing information in the blank in your equation. Does your equation make sense?

Example:Daniel has 2 apples. Dylan has 5 apples. How many more apples does Dylan have than Daniel? Think:

Represent:2 + __ = 5

This makes sense! 2 + 3 = 5

Day 21 Problem Solving (NC.2.OA.1)

1. Marco has 4 cookies. Michael has 7 cookies. How many more cookies does Michael have than Marco?

2. Valeria has 17 LOL dolls. Isabella has 10 LOL dolls. How many more LOL dolls does Valeria have than Isabella?

3. My dog Boone has 6 dog bones. My neighbors dog Spots has 8 dog bones. How many more dog bones does Spots have than Boone?

Sam collected 5 cans of food for the food drive. Molly

collected 10 cans of food. How many more cans of food did Molly collect than Sam?

The blank is for how many more apples Dylan has than Daniel. That’s what I need to find out!

Daniel has 2 apples and Dylan has 5 apples. So, Dylan has more apples.

How many more?

5 apples (Dylan)

2 apples ? apples (Daniel) (more)


Day 23 Exploring Compare ProblemsWhen we solve problems that involve comparing two amounts or considering how much more or how many fewer one amount is than another, we are solving Comparison problems. Today, we will look at Compare Difference Unknown Problems where we find the amount that is fewer or less than the other amount. (NC.2.OA.1)

Compare Difference Unknown (fewer or less)

Problem Solving Strategy:1. Read and think about the problem. Turn the paper

over and retell the story that is happening in your mind.

2. Write an equation to represent the comparison situation. If you are given two amounts to compare- to find how many more or how many fewer- you can write a subtraction equation to find the difference between the two amounts. You can also write an additional equation adding the unknown difference to the smaller amount. If you know one amount and how many more/fewer the other amount is, then you could write an equation to show adding the more amount or subtracting the fewer amount. Always carefully read the problem to know which is more- adding the more amount to the smaller quantity (even if it is the unknown amount) or subtracting the fewer amount from the larger quantity (even if it is the unknown amount). Use a blank in the equation to hold a place for the part you don’t know (the part you are trying to find out).

3. Use bars to represent the two quantities and the unknown amount. Once you have your equation, you can use an open number line to find the sum or difference.

4. Put the missing information in the blank in your equation. Does your equation make sense?

Example:Dylan has 5 apples. Daniel has 2 apples. How many fewer apples does Daniel have than Dylan?Think:

Represent: 5 - 2 = ____

This makes sense! 5 - 2 = 3

Day 23 Problem Solving(NC.2.OA.1)

1. Tylaiah has 20 pennies. Emery has 13 pennies. How many fewer pennies does Emery have than Tylaiah?

2. Caleb has 8 Beyblades. Micah has 14 Beyblades. How many fewer Beyblades does Caleb have than Micah?

3. Grayson has 19 Pokemon cards. Drayden has 6 Pokemon cards. How many fewer Pokemon cards does Drayden have than Grayson?

Sam collected 5 cans of food for the food drive. Molly

collected 10 cans of food. How many fewer cans of food did Sam collect than Molly?

Dylan has 5 apples. Daniel has 2 apples. So, I need to figure out how many fewer apples Daniel has.

The blank is how many fewer apples Daniel has than Dylan. That’s what I need to find out!

2 apples (Daniel)

? apples (fewer)

5 apples (Dylan)

Friends Around the World

Around the World Come and travel around the world. We’ll meet new friends in new places. Some of the places are similar to the place where you live, and some are not. Your friends around the world are like you in many ways and different in other ways. A Friend in Brazil My name is Maria, and I am eight years old. I live with my parents and grandparents in the city of Salvador. I go to school for five hours in the morning each day from February to December. My school has so many students that three groups of us go at different times during the day. I like to go to many big festivals that take place in Salvador each year. The festivals are like parades or street parties. At home, I like to play tag and jump rope with my friends. I also like to play at the beach. My favorite food is feijoada (fayzh-WAH-duh), a stew with beans and pork. A Friend in China My name is Wei (WAY), and I am six years old. I live with my parents in the city of Shanghai. I go to school from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with a short break for lunch. All the children in my school wear uniforms, but students at some other schools do not. I like to go to Shanghai’s amazing aquarium. It has a giant underwater tunnel where you can walk past sharks and many other fish. I also like to play ping-pong and basketball with my friends. My favorite food is zhou (JOH), a kind of rice porridge. A Friend in India My name is Riya (REE-yaw), and I am nine years old. I live in the city of Mumbai (mum-BYE). Mumbai is the largest city in India. I go to school from June to April each year. All the students at my school wear uniforms. Mumbai is really hot in the summer, so I like to play at the water park. There, I can splash around with my friends to cool off. My favorite food is chapati (chuh-PAH-tee). It’s a type of flatbread cooked on a griddle until it’s bubbly and then brushed with oil. A Friend in South Korea My name is Woo-jin, and I am ten years old. My family lives in Busan (BOO-sahn). I go to school from March to July and from September to February. On special days, I dress in a shiny silk jacket called a jeogori (CHOH- goh-ree). Many generations of Korean men have worn jeogori for formal occasions. I enjoy eating bulgogi (bul-GOH-gee), which is a kind of barbecued beef. It’s a delicious food! A Friend in Nigeria My name is Boma (BOH-mah), and I am seven years old. I live in the city of Lagos (LAY-gohs) in Nigeria (nye-JEER-ee-uh). I go to school from January through December. My school doesn’t have uniforms, but we have rules about what we can wear. Students at some other schools wear uniforms. I like to play ayo, a board game that uses seeds and cups. I also like to go to the beach with my family. My favorite food is spicy pepper soup with meat or fish.

One-Room Schoolhouses (from ReadWorks)

Long ago, many children went to school in one-room schoolhouses. Younger and older children were in the same class. The children sat at desks. They learned to read and write. They learned math too. Children usually did not write on paper. They wrote on slates. Slates are like small chalkboards. The schoolhouse had a stove. The stove kept the schoolhouse warm in winter. Children had to bring wood to put in the stove. There were no school cafeterias then. Children went home for lunch, or they brought lunch with them. Schools long ago were very different from schools today.

School: How Has it Changed?

(from ReadWorks)

School has changed in some ways over time. Let’s learn about those ways. Schools did not always have computers. How is school today different from school many years ago?

School Buildings Then: Many schoolhouses had only one classroom. Students of all ages learned together. Now: Most school buildings have many classrooms. Students in each class are about the same age. School Tools Then: Students listened carefully to a phonograph. That is a machine that plays recordings. Now: Students use computers during lessons. They wear headphones to listen and learn.

School Rules Then: Students raised their hands to answer questions. The teacher called on students to respond. Now: Students still raise their hands to answer questions. That is one way school has not changed.

Today is the first day of school. “Are you ready for school?” asks Dad. Sam is unsure. “What

if none of my friends are in my class? What if I do not know anybody?” Sam says.

“You will meet new friends!” says Dad. “Eat your oatmeal. Then we will walk to school.” Sam

eats his oats. Then Sam and Dad walk to school.

Sam slowly walks into his new class. He looks around for friends that he knows. “Hi, Sam! I

am Mr. Moats. I will be your teacher this year.” “Follow me to your new desk,” says Mr.

Moats. Sam follows him. Then he sees Nell! Nell has been his friend for a long time. Sam

smiles at Nell as he sits at his desk. It looks like Nell has grown taller over the summer. Then

he

feels somebody tap his elbow.

“Hi! Can I borrow a pen? None of mine are in my bag,” says a boy sitting behind Sam. “Sure!

You can borrow this one,” says Sam. He hands the boy a pen.

“Thanks! My name is Owen. I am new in this school.” “My name is Sam,” says Sam. “I will

show you around. I will help you meet new friends.”

Dad was right. Sam has an old friend in his class. And now he has a new friend, too! He will

show Owen around school. He is sure he will like his new class.
