 * Second Grade Agenda **

Planning date:  Questions for Mrs. Wilkes: Could we be provided with a list of optional expenditures for teacher to rank concerning where the budget money goes in order to prioritize spending? For example: teacher t-shirt, breakfasts, staff development, paper. We are concerned about the amount of paper money left this year.

 * Monday: ENGAGE Have students work in pairs to tape one of each person’s thumbs to the rest of the hand, so the thumb is immobilized. Right handed children should have their right thumbs taped, lefties their left thumbs. The second person taping will experience great difficulty! When thumbs are taped, direct the students to try familiar tasks such as writing their names, opening glue bottles, opening a spiral, etc. Take the tape off and introduce the word Systems. Let the students briefly tell what different parts of the body are for and tell what would happen if that part were damaged. Relate Systems to a family and briefly talk about the different jobs that a family needs to have done to make it work well. Students will fold a half sheet of manila into fourths and write one sentence in each box telling what each person in their family does so that the family works correctly. Draw each person doing one of their jobs. **


 * Tuesday: EXPLORE Tribes activity - Hand out Systems cards that each have one match and let students try to find the match. Review the parts of a government and briefly discuss what would happen if one part weren’t working. Give small groups of students a ballpoint pen containing a spring and a recording sheet. Draw and record before they take it apart, then lay all the parts on a white piece of paper so nothing gets misplaced. Complete the recording sheet.**


 * Wednesday: EXPLAIN Pairs of students will use a piece of paper from the recycling box to go on a scavenger hunt looking for examples of systems in the classroom. Write 3 systems on their paper. When finished, the students will share one of their systems, tell the parts of it and what is the purpose of each part. Students will then work with a partner to name and explain all the parts of a computer and what the results of that part not working would be. Worksheet provided. **


 * Thursday: ELABORATE Provide stations around the room possibly including: a flashlight, a plastic squirt bottle, a tape dispenser, pinwheel or kite, a checker game, a picture of people playing a sport. Give each student a list of questions to answer in their science journal as they go to each station. (I would do one station as a whole class activity to set the expectations). List of questions is provided.**


 * Friday: Same as Thursday Students who finish early can add free choice systems to their Science Journal.**


 * EVALUATE: Teacher observation, review of Science Journals**
