Grade 2, Tuesday June 2
Reading Books in a Series and Writing Reviews
Morning Message
Good Morning Persuasive People,
Let’s play a little game this morning. It is called “Would you Rather?” I bet many of you know this game already. I’ll ask you a question that has two choices and starts with “Would you Rather?” each time. You have to pick ONE choice. Sometimes the decision is hard to make, but many times you will know right away. The trickier part is supporting your choice. WHY did you choose one over the other? That’s called providing evidence for your opinion and you will be using this skill in writing this week!
Here we go!
- Would you rather ride a bike or take a hike?
- Would you rather have ice cream or a popsicle?
- Would you rather have school lunch or lunch from home?
- Would you rather eat a fruit or a vegetable?
Remember, pick a side but think about your “why” too! Click the button below for a game of Would You Rather to play with family (this one is much sillier!)
English-Language Arts (ELA)
We are writing reviews this week! If you missed the ELA directions on Monday, click on the button below to watch them. They are important and you should check them out at least once this week!
To begin, it's time to read for 30 minutes. You can read books on Myon (through classlink), at GetEpic.com, or with books you have at your house. I hope you found a great chapter book series to try!
Next, it's time for writing workshop for 20 minutes, maybe on the google doc planning page you chose yesterday or maybe on your own paper. This week we are working on writing a review, but you can also write whatever you want!
If you are typing your work, remember to use the same doc or slideshow you started on Monday. You should go to classlink or google to find it. If you have not started your reading journal slideshow yet, click on the button below to get the template.
Then, it's time to practice your reading fluency. Remember to read smoothly and with expression.
IT'S BRAIN BREAK TIME!!!
