    Mathematics

    I can write equations with a letter for the unknown and solve two-step problems.

    Look: a letter stands for the unknown

    1. 9 + n = 16 means 9 plus what is 16? n = 7.
    2. 7 × m = 56 means 7 times what is 56? m = 8.
    3. 36 ÷ k = 4 means how many groups of 4 make 36? k = 9.

    Find the letter. Put it back in to check.

    1. 1.

      14 + n = 22

    2. 2.

      4 × m = 28

    3. 3.

      40 ÷ k = 8

    4. 4.

      k − 6 = 11

    Write two equations with letters. Then solve.

    I can find and label the rhyme scheme of a poem.

    Look: Labeling rhyme

    1. Give the first line's end sound the letter A.
    2. A new end sound gets B. A line that rhymes with an earlier line gets that same letter.
    3. AABB: lines 1 and 2 rhyme, 3 and 4 rhyme. ABAB: lines 1 and 3 rhyme, 2 and 4 rhyme.

    The Garden Cat

    A gray cat naps beneath the beans, Her tail curled like a snail. She dreams of fish and fat sardines, And birds along the rail. A beetle tickles at her ear, She swats the air. The coast is clear! She stretches, yawns and rolls in dirt, Then naps again on Papa's shirt.

    A cat sleeps curled up on a shirt beneath tall bean plants in a garden while a little beetle crawls near her ear.
