Summer Weekly Assignment 1

Hello Seconds! Good morning, or good afternoon. Each entry I do will be once a week, and will have a series of things for you to do. If possible, have your  Mom or Dad or Grandparent buy you a composition notebook from the store, so that all of your summer work can be stored in one notebook, to show me at open house. 

*Parents you can have your child do this all in one day (which is A LOT)-- or you can stretch it through out the week*


*Set your page up with your name and date on the right hand side of your paper*

1. Say our Daily Poem:

I am a kind, smart, and wonderful person.
I am a loving, thoughtful, almost 2nd grader.
I am going to do awesome things with my life.
I am a rockstar.
I am...

2. Read these words as fast as you can:
over
new
short
shortly 
sound
take
only
picture
another
dead
deadly
does
end
put
sink
skunk
smell
smelled
smelly

*Remember the "ly" sound at the end of the word.*

3. Get out a notebook, and write or type three sentences. Pick three different words from the list of words above. I want the sentences to be strong, and detailed.

4. After you have written the sentences, practice reading them in a funny voice or like you are putting on a show.

5. Solve these Math problems, and show your work:

A) On Monday I saw 12 Robins. On Tuesday I saw 3 Robins. On Friday I saw 4 Robins. How many Robins did I see altogether?

B) Your 8 friends all have two-wheeled bicycles. How many wheels do they have altogether? (Hint, you will need to draw a quick sketch.)

C) I have 4 pizzas. I ate two of the pizzas. What is the fraction of pizzas I ate? (Draw a picture, and shade what you ate.)

6. Find one "living thing" outside, and write 6 sentences about it. I expect all sentences to be written properly, and neatly. Don't forget about your opener, and closer.


7. I will blog again next week. I hope you are all reading and doing your VERY best to make good choices in all you do. Whatever you do, know that I love you and am SO PROUD of you for doing this.

Love,
Mrs. Ramirez

Camp-In

We camped in the classroom today! We told flashlight stories, shadow stories, and ate s'mores and hotdogs! We also went on a trail nature walk, and completed a scavenger hunt. Enjoy the photos!

Happy Mother's Day!

We drew portraits of our Moms, and then we reflected and thought about a few words that described our special Moms. We learned a song, and dedicated it to our Moms. Thank you all for what you do, and I hope you have an amazing Mother's Day.
