Drawing and Interpreting Graphs

MD.10 – I can draw a picture graph or a bar graph to represent a data set with up to four categories. I

can solve simple put-together, take-apart, and compare problems using information presented in a bar

graph.

MD10 Assessment (Graded Assignment)

Students should complete this assignment independently. Students will work with data that has been

provided for them and answer simple problems related to addition and subtraction that ask them to put

together, take apart, and compare numbers.

Graph IT! (Graded Assignment)

Students may require assistance to complete this activity. In this assignment, students will work with

categorical data by organizing, representing and interpreting data. Students will pose a question with 4

possible responses and then work with the data that they collect. Students collect their data by using

tallies or another way of keeping track. Students organize their data by totaling each category. They will

choose which type of graph they would like to complete: picture or bar. Templates for both have been

included. Students will use their graph to display their data using a single unit scale. Students will then

write two sentences to tell about their data. Be sure to label graphs correctly. Students can call friends

and family members or parents can pose the question on social media to help students collect their

data. Sample Survey Questions: –What is your favorite sport? –What is your favorite type of pizza?

–What is your favorite color? –What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? –How many pets do you

have? –What type of pet do you have? –Who is your favorite author? –What is your favorite

restaurant?

Telling Time

MD.7 – I can tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using a.m. and p.m.

In second grade, students are expected to tell and write time to the nearest five minutes and be able to use a.m. and p.m. correctly. We add the terms quarter to (minute hand on 9 or _:45) and quarter past/after (minute hand on 3 or _:15). Students should understand the clock can be cut into 4 quarters (15 minute intervals). This will help them make the connection for the new terminology. It is also helpful for students to make the connection between skip counting by 5s and telling the minutes on an analog clock. One of the hardest concepts for students when learning to tell time on an analog clock is that as the hour passes, the hour hand slowly moves to the next hour. If I were to draw 2:30 on a clock, the minute hand should point to the 6 and the hour hand would point between (in the middle) 2 and 3.

Twenty minutes later (2:50), I would draw the minute hand pointing to the 10 and the hour hand would

be almost to the 3.

MD7 Telling Time Practice

Review time concepts before taking the assessment. You can also use the clock template from last week to help your child review.

Seeds Need to Move

Seeds Need to Moveby Rachelle Kreisman

A plant starts life as a seed. When that seed grows into a plant, that plant makes new seeds. Those seeds, too, can grow and turn into more new plants.

But did you know that not every seed grows into a plant? To become a plant, a seed has to travel. That is because seeds need room to grow. A seed has to be far enough away from other plants so that it gets the sunlight and water it needs. If a seed falls to the ground too close to its parent plant, it may not grow.

Of course, wind can spread the seeds for many plants. But some plants depend on animals to move their seeds. Those seeds are called hitchhiker seeds. They travel on something else that moves!

Many hitchhiker seeds are prickly. They have tiny rows of hooks. The hooks can stick to fur or feathers. Hitchhiker seeds can travel for miles on an animal's body. Then they fall off or are removed. If they fall in a place that is good for growing, the seeds will grow into plants, too!

William was wealthy and the couple traveled all over the world. They even bought a house in England. They kept another house in Savannah, where they spent the winter months. In 1905, William died from an illness. Juliette spent the next few years traveling the world on her own.

In 1911, she met Robert Baden-Powell. He was a British war hero and had also started the Boy Scouts organization. Juliette fell in love with Robert, and they married and settled in England. She thought it would be good to have a group like the Boy Scouts for girls. The two of them, along with Robert’s sister Agnes, started a group called the Girl Guides.

Juliette’s Later Life

The Girl Guides became very popular. Juliette decided she wanted to start a group like it in the United States. She started a Girl Guides club in Savannah, but soon changed its name to Girl Scouts. Juliette worked hard to make sure every girl had a chance to be in Girl Scouts. The Girl Scouts club spread to every state and then all over the world.

Juliette soon got cancer and became very ill. She tried to hide it from everyone. Juliette continued to raise money and gather supplies for Girl Scouts. On January 17, 1927, she could not hide her illness anymore. She died that day.

After her death, Juliette received many awards including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. Today, the Girl Scouts organization continues to give girls all over the world the hope that they can be anything they want to be.

Who was Juliette Gordon Low?

Juliette Gordon Low started Girl Scouts of the USA. Girl Scouts has helped over helped over 50 million girls learn new skills and gain confidence.

Juliette was born on October 31, 1860 in Savannah, Georgia. She worked hard to make Girl Scouts the best-known organization for girls in the world.

On January 17, 1927, Juliette died of cancer. Until her death, Juliette did not let cancer stop her from making sure Girl Scouts had everything it needed.

Juliette’s Early Life

Juliette, nicknamed Daisy, was born in Savannah, Georgia, shortly before the Civil War began. After the war ended in 1865, the family moved to Chicago to live with Juliette’s grandparents. The family had lost a lot of money during the war, but they recovered.. A few years later, they returned to Savannah.

When Juliette was 12, she went to a boarding school. While there, she had to learn what society believed every lady should know. Juliette enjoyed learning how to draw, play the piano, and hold speeches, but she also wanted to explore. She loved to hike in the woods, ride horses, and play tennis.

Juliette’s Adult Life

After Juliette turned 19, she moved to New York City to study painting. There, Juliette met a man named William Mackay Low. They married when Juliette was 26. During the wedding, rice was thrown at the bride and groom in celebration. A piece of rice got stuck inside Juliette’s ear and damaged her hearing.
