Grade 2 Creative Communicator Global Collaborator Cornerstone Task Family Engagement
General Support
Ask families to discuss with their child how they use data to make decisions:
- Do they decide what restaurant to go to or item to buy based on reviews?
- Choose vacation spots or decide when to plant the garden based on past weather patterns?
- Decide where to park at the mall based on where there have been a lot of empty parking spots in the past?
Task Specific Support
- Send a link to the website being used home in advance of the project. Invite families to explore the site together and add their own sightings or other data to the site as appropriate.
- Families may be able to provide information on the geographic areas being compared. Send home a list and ask for any information families may have.
- Students can show families what they are doing after the first lesson and see if their family can help them refine their question and/or conclusions from the data as well as discuss the best ways to present.
