Additional standards/ practices that are to be taught in this course:
 LAFS.2.W.3.7: Participate in shared research and writing projects (e.g., read a number of books on a single topic to produce a report; record science
observations).
 LAFS.2.W.3.8: Recall information from experiences or gather information from provided sources to answer a question.
 LAFS.2.SL.1.1: Participate in collaborative conversations with diverse partners about grade 2 topics and texts with peers and adults in small and larger
groups.
a. Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions (e.g., gaining the floor in respectful ways, listening to others with care, speaking one at a time about
the topics and texts under discussion).
b. Build on others’ talk in conversations by linking their comments to the remarks of others.
c. Ask for clarification and further explanation as needed about the topics and texts under discussion.
 LAFS.2.RI.1.3: Describe the connection between a series of historical events, scientific ideas or concepts, or steps in technical procedures in a text.
 LAFS.2.RI.2.4: Determine the meaning of words and phrases in a text relevant to a grade 2 topic or subject area.
 LAFS.2.RI.4.10: By the end of year, read and comprehend informational texts, including history/social studies, science, and technical texts, in the grades
2–3 text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range.

MAFS.2.MD.4.9: Generate measurement data by measuring lengths of several objects to the nearest whole unit, or by making repeated measurements
of the same object. Show the measurements by making a line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked off in whole-number units.
MAFS.2.MD.4.10: Draw a picture graph and a bar graph (with single-unit scale) to represent a data set with up to four categories. Solve simple puttogether, take apart, and compare problems using information presented in a bar graph.
Integrate Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice (MP) as applicable:
 MAFS.K12.MP.1.1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
 MAFS.K12.MP.2.1 Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
 MAFS.K12.MP.3.1 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
 MAFS.K12.MP.4.1 Model with mathematics.
 MAFS.K12.MP.5.1 Use appropriate tools strategically.
 MAFS.K12.MP.6.1 Attend to precision.
 MAFS.K12.MP.7.1 Look for and make use of structure.
 MAFS.K12.MP.8.1 Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
English Language Development Standards:
 ELD.K12.ELL.SC.1 English language learners communicate information, ideas and concepts necessary for academic success in the content area of
Science.
 ELD.K12.ELL.SI.1 English language learners communicate for social and instructional purposes within the school setting.
English Language Development ELD Standards Special Notes Section:
Teachers are required to provide listening, speaking, reading and writing instruction that allows English language learners (ELL) to communicate
information, ideas and concepts for academic success in the content area of Science. For the given level of English language proficiency and with visual,
graphic, or interactive support, students will interact with grade level words, expressions, sentences and discourse to process or produce language
necessary for academic success The ELD standard should specify a relevant content area concept or topic of study chosen by curriculum developers and
teachers which maximizes an ELL's need for communication and social skills. To access an ELL supporting document which delineates performance
