DISTANCE LEARNING ASSIGNMENTS FOR FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 2020 

Good morning.  Today is Friday, March 27, 2020. I enjoyed reading the responses to your reading questions.  We all learned a lot about how to get along with others.  Later we will read about bullying and what we can do to stop it. 

Please send me a copy of today's spelling test with dictation and also the math review pages.  Thank you again for cooperating with your parents who are helping you learn at home.

Check out the school website for next week's Spirit Week.  Every day will be something new.  Please post pictures on Facebook!  It should be lots of fun!

I miss my buddies!!!!

Love,
Mrs. Ciano 

Religion
This Sunday, March 29th is the Fifth Sunday of Lent.  Usually we watch Holy Heroes, but their site is not updated for this week.  

The Gospel story for this Sunday is probably one of Jesus' greatest  and well-known miracles.  His friend Lazarus was ill, but Jesus was not there to heal him, so Lazarus died and was buried in a tomb.  Jesus loved Lazarus and his sisters Mary and Martha and often ate at their home.  This miracle shows how important it is to have faith and how powerful Jesus is when he brings a dead man back to life.  Jesus promises us the same thing when he tells us that we will be with him in Heaven even after our earthly life is done. 

Click on the story of Lazarus below and print out the dot-to-dot activity sheet that goes along with it. 

Remember to offer up the little gifts of your sacrifices for Lent.  Say a Hail Mary each day to honor Second Grade's patron saint, Our Blessed Mother.  We need to do this now more than ever!

Math    ***Send me a copy of your math review pages today!***
Today we will review everything we covered so far in Ch. 8.  Please do pp. 553-555.  When you are working on the problem solving questions, make a plan about how to solve it.  Sometimes it's helpful to draw a picture. 

Continue to practice your math facts at home.  You can review your addition facts by playing the Fact Dash game from our math resources online found in the links box below.  

All students have received paper versions of this work.  You can access the online math resources located in the links box at the bottom of this class page.  All access codes were sent home and were taped on the outside of the "Take Home Envelope".

Marking Up Directions:
Ask your child to box the beginning and end of their sentence. 
They are to scoop and mark up these words: maybe, rain, spoil, trip

Reading/Writing
Read the true story, "Bully-Free Zone", on pp. 440-441 in your Literature Anthology (big reader).  This story is about how a school in Seattle, Washington handled the problem of bullying with their students.  Bullying can happen at school, on your sports team, and even with your siblings.  You can do something about bullying.  There are strategies to use, and you should have a plan ahead of time if you should ever be in this situation.

Next, click on Scholastic Learning at Home in the link box.  Scroll down to Day 9 and watch the two videos, "Choose to Be Kind" and "What Would You Do?".  Think about a time when you or someone you know was bullied.  Write about what happened in your green note book.  Then, write about something that you could have changed in this situation.    

Phonics  
Review the double vowel pairs "oi" and "oy" by watching the link below.  The first pair, "oi" usually appears in the beginning or middle of a word, as in the word "coin".  The second pair, "oy" usually appears at the end of words like "boy".  As with all double syllable pairs, after scooping the words, circle the vowel pair, and put a "d" under the scoop for double vowel syllable.  

Review the three additional phonics resources on the links below for syllable types already covered:

 glued sounds, vowel teams, "r"-controlled vowels.
