April 21, 2020 Dear Parents/Guardians and Community Members, I hope that you, your families, and your loved ones are doing well, staying healthy, and that remote learning continues to be workable for you and your child. It has been so exciting to see updates of scholar’s watching their videos, engaging with new texts through EPIC!, and diligently working in their packet. We are so thankful for our strong partnerships with families that ensure our scholars’ learning is as rigorous and joyful at home as it is in our school buildings. With our Chicago and Cincinnati schools currently closed through the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year, enclosed you will find the next three weeks of Elementary School remote learning packets for instruction starting on Monday, April 27th and running through Friday, May 15th. You will notice that this round of packets contains blue stars after certain questions. If your student normally receives modified work according to their individualized education plans, he or she should do only the problems with a blue star next to them. If not, students should complete all questions. If you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s teacher for clarification. Additionally, you will notice supplemental resources at the end of the packet. These materials should serve as a support to all students as they complete their remote learning work. Please reach out directly to your school leaders with any questions, and thank you for continuing to take care of yourself and each other. I am looking forward to seeing all that your scholars continue to achieve during remote learning! My best, Stacey Shells Harvey ReGeneration Schools CEO 21 de abril de 2020 Estimados padres / tutores y miembros de la comunidad, Espero que usted, sus familias y sus seres queridos estén bien, se mantengan saludables y que el aprendizaje remoto continúe siendo viable para usted y su hijo. Ha sido muy emocionante ver actualizaciones de académicos viendo sus videos, interactuando con nuevos textos a través de EPIC !, y trabajando diligentemente en su paquete. Estamos muy agradecidos por nuestras sólidas alianzas con las familias que aseguran que el aprendizaje de nuestros alumnos sea tan riguroso y alegre en casa como lo es en nuestros edificios escolares. Con nuestras escuelas de Chicago y Cincinnati actualmente cerradas, se adjuntan las próximas tres semanas de paquetes de aprendizaje remoto de la escuela primaria para la instrucción que comienza el lunes 27 de abril y hasta el viernes 15 de mayo. Notarás que esta ronda de paquetes contiene estrellas azules después de ciertas preguntas. Si su estudiante normalmente recibe trabajo modificado de acuerdo con sus planes de educación individualizados, solo debe resolver los problemas con una estrella azul a su lado. Si no, los estudiantes deben completar todas las preguntas. Si tiene alguna pregunta, comuníquese con el maestro de su hijo para obtener una aclaración. Además, notará recursos suplementarios al final del paquete. Estos materiales deben servir de apoyo a todos los estudiantes a medida que completan su trabajo de aprendizaje remoto. Comuníquese directamente con los líderes de su escuela con cualquier pregunta y gracias por seguir cuidando de usted y de los demás. ¡Espero ver todo lo que sus alumnos continúan logrando durante el aprendizaje remoto!

Then answer the questions. Chirping Chirp It was a bright and sunny morning. Daniel woke up and jumped out of bed, ready for a full day outside. He ran down the stairs and sat down at the kitchen table. His mom was making pancakes: Daniel's favorite. She made pancakes every Saturday morning. "What do you want to do today?" she asked Daniel. "I think I'm going to go exploring in our backyard," he told her. "It's so nice outside!" Daniel gobbled up his pancakes and rushed upstairs to get dressed. He put on a red t-shirt and jeans. "Alright, Mom, I'll be back later!" "Don't go too far!" she told him. When he opened the door, Daniel felt a rush of warm air. He smiled at the sun. Perfect hiking weather, he thought. Daniel loved his backyard. There were plenty of tall trees. If he walked far enough, he would reach a creek. When it was really warm outside, he could walk in the water to cool off. The water was always cold. The leaves were just beginning to grow on the trees after the cold winter. Daniel wandered for a bit. He picked up a long stick and used it to clear a way through the forest.

When he got closer, he knelt down to investigate. He found a small injured bird between the fallen leaves. He looked around and saw a bird's nest sitting on a branch. He carefully climbed up the trunk of the tree with the nest to get a closer look. The nest was empty, and he didn't see any birds around. Then, he ran back to his house. “Mom, I found a bird that’s hurt!” he told her as he ran through the door. She looked for a shoebox, and then she said, “Well, let’s go have a look.” Daniel led his mom back to the injured bird. His mom knelt down and looked carefully at it. “Let’s try to save it!” she said. She gently picked up the bird and put it in the shoebox. Then she said, “We can take it to the animal hospital in town.” They took the bird to the animal hospital. After a few days, the vet visited Daniel’s house with the bird. It was healed. Daniel and his mom could hear the bird chirping when they opened the door. The vet said, “The bird is ready to go back to its home in the trees.” Daniel was so excited. He looked at the bird and said, “I’m going to name you Chirp! I hope I can see you again. Bye, Chirp!” Second Grade – Week 4 Page 5 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License Why do Daniel and this mom take the bird to the animal hospital? _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ Second Grade – Week 4 Page 6 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License What is the theme of this story? _____________________________________________
