2nd Grade Vocabulary Lesson

>> Zero. Kaylee,

can you turn the
board off, please?

We're going to
squeeze a lot of

vocab into a small
amount of time.

So thumbs up if you hear

this direction correctly.

When I say go,
we're coming to

the meeting spot
without our voice.

Everyone heard that part?
And picking a seat,

we can sit

the whole time without
messing around.

Without your voice.
Go [NOISE] 10,

9, 8, 7, 6, 5,

4, 3, 2, 1, 0.

Good job getting here.

Let's check the
four things,

crisscross, hands in lap,

voices off, eyes on me.

I'm going to need
an assistant

in just a little bit here.

So I'll be watching for

somebody who's
doing their job.

I already wrote

our eight
definitions up here.

We're going to try and
match the words on

the easel to the
definitions up here.

And then when we get done,

we're going to
try and match

some pictures to the
definitions also.

So let's see.

Keegan, can you
be my assistant

and hand me those cards
when I need them?

Thank you, sir. First one

says beneath the
surface of the earth.

Look at our choices
over there.

Who sees a word that means

beneath the surface
of the earth?

Why don't you
turn and talk to

your neighbor and see
if you guys agree?

[BACKGROUND] Make

sure next time
it's a whisper,

so not all our
friends hear.

Who can tell me what
word means beneath

the surface of
the earth? Gavin?

>> Underground.

>> Underground. Keegan,
can you please hand

me underground? Thumbs up.

Everyone agrees
that underground is

correct? Well, let's
get it up here.

Underground,
beneath the surface

of the earth.

Who has an action that we

could use for underground?

Bella, what action
are you thinking?

Underground.

Pointing down
underneath the ground.

Good. We'll use that one

when we practice
here in a minute.

Second line on
the blue tab,

something related
to the sun.

Who sees a word that means

something related
to the sun?

Turn and talk to
your neighbor.

The choices are over here.

>> Solar.

>> Who sees the
word? Grant.

>> Solar.

>> Solar. Thumbs
up if you agree.

Assistant, can you
hand me solar,

please? Yes, sir.

Solar or something
related to the sun.

Who has an action that we

could use for solar?

Cameron, I like your
action. What is it?

A big sun up above us

related to the sun, solar.

Good. On this pink one.

Make sure my assistant
you show yourself.

Totally quiet
makes no sound.

Who sees a word?

I think we don't
need to talk

about this one.Excuse me.

Which word means
totally quiet

with no sound? Holanda.

>> Silence.

>> Silence.
Good. Assistant,

can you hand me silent?

Keegan, you can have
a seat and have

a new assistant for
the next three.

Thank you, sir. Who has

an action for silent? Tye?

>> Zipping your mouth
and raising your hand.

>> Zip your lips, raising

your hand maybe to

get the teacher's
attention.

Good. No sound, silent.

Energ. This one is
going to be tricky.

So look at the
choices while I read

the definition. Look
at your choices.

Energy that can be used to

make lights and
machines work.

What do you think?

Let's turn and talk to

our neighbors so I

can hear what
we're thinking.

I heard a lot
that we're not,

so talk again, decide
what you think.

I think these boys in the

back are saying
it correct.

Kate, what did your
little group say?

>> Power.

>> Power. Is that what
everyone else said?

>> An only positive thing.

>> That's what
we said earlier.

Remember, these

three are going to
be very tricky.

We know this
one's not power

because we want to put

the word in the
definition.

So it's either this
one or this one.

And I think we
said this one when

we were reading our
little cards earlier.

Energy that can be used to

make lights and
machine work,

we need power to
turn the lights on.

So let's see. I need
the new assistant.

Daniel, can you come
be my assistant?

Sitting with his
legs, crisscrossed,

hands on lap, voice soft.

Thank you. Who
has an action

while our system is
walking up for power?

Lights and machines.

Karina? [NOISE] Putting
the light switch

since our keyword
is light.

Daniel to hand me
power. So everyone

will turn a light on,
turn a light off.

Flip the light switch
off. Thank you.

Oops.

Next one, carry something.

Which word over
there means carry

something? Sidney.

>> Haul.

>> Everyone agrees, haul?

Assistant, hand me haul.

Who has an action
for haul or carry

something? Reilly,
what do you think?

>> A trash bag and
put it over here.

>> A big, old bag
over your shoulder

and hauling it
to the trash.

Good. Haul. Next one,

move in a steady stream.

Let me give an overall
reminder before I

have to send some people
to the think seat.

When we're at the
meeting slot,

our voice is off

even when I'm stapling

something to the board.

Who sees a word that

means move in a
steady stream?

Kaylee, you see
a word up there?

>> Flows.

>> Flows. Agree with
flows? Let's do flows.

Who has an action we

could use for flows
here in a minute?

>> Stop copying me.

>> Halia, what do
you think? A river

flowing with your hands.

Nice and smooth,
steady stream.

Good. Daniel, have seat.

Let's see if I
can find a new

assistant after
this next one.

Power from things like

electricity and the sun.

Where do we get
power from?

Turn to talk to your
neighbor. Which of

those words means power?

>> Energy.

>> Eddie, which word?

>> Energy.

>> Energy.
Everyone agrees.

I agree with that.

Eddie, do you want
be my assistant.

Energy. Who has an action

that shows
energy or power?

Who has an action
that means

energy or power? Cali.

>> You can run the place.

>> Running.

>> Running a place.

>> We could do that
using your energy.

Last one then is
probably electricity.

What action could we put

for energy that
flows through wires?

Lily, thanks for
raising your hand.

Putting two
wires together,

that could work.
We'll do that.

Any questions?
No questions?

Then let's walk back

to our seat
without our voice.

Ten. Stand shoulder to

shoulder with your
vocab partner,

Just actions.

Good. Underground.

Good. Get the
keyword here.

Good.

Electricity. Solar.
Look at the keyword.

Good. Power, keyword.

Good. Have a seat
without your voice,

[NOISE] 5, 4,

3, 2, 1, 0.

When I say go,
I want us to

head back to the
meeting spot,

and we're going to see if

we can add some
pictures up

there super quick before

we do some relay races.

Come. Without your voice.

Go, [NOISE] 5, 4,

3, 2, 1.

I'm going to hold it up.

I'm going to cover up

the word with my
hand the best I can.

This animal's home is
one of our vocab words.

Who sees a vocab word that

matches this
animal's home?

Lots of hands. Good.

Lance, which one
do you think?

>> Underground.

>> Underground.
Everyone agree?

>> Yes.

>> Let's see if we can
squeeze them up here.

Maybe a little too big.

Let's save those
three hard ones

for last. How about this?

The water's coming
out, it's steady.

It's not squirting
everywhere.

It's nice and steady.

What do you think
for this water?

What's this a
picture of? Kelsey?

>> Flows.

>> Flows.

Everyone agrees it's
coming out in a nice,

steady stream flowing out?

Thumbs up if you agree.

Alex, please fix
what's happening.

Close.

What about this one?

They're tricky ones.

Lots of you will
know this one.

What are they doing
in this picture?

Alex, thanks for
joining us again.

>> Hauling rock.

>> Haul. Everyone
agree that

this truck is
hauling those rocks?

Good. I'm going to

keep the word
so you can see

the word at least.

Next, these students

hopefully are doing
the same thing

we do when we're
working hard.

How are they
working? Marion.

>> Silently.

>> Silently. Everyone,

the thumbs up
if you agree.

Good. I'll put
this picture

best I can beside it.

Now you have four
pretty tricky ones.

Let's do this one first.

This tool here, I don't
want to say the word.

They're panels
that collect

energy from a
certain tool.

Not tool, certain
thing out in space.

Talk to your neighbor.

What do you think
this one is?

>> Solar.

>> Stella.

>> Solar.

>> Everyone agrees
getting their energy

from the sun? Has
to do with the sun?

I think these are
called solar panels.

You can use them on
your house to get

energy so that you

don't have to use so
much electricity.

>> Let's see.

[BACKGROUND]

What do you think?

Talk to your neighbor.
It's either power,

energy, or electricity.

>> Power.

>> Reilly, what
are you thinking?

>> Power.

>> Why do you guys
think this one's power?

Kate, why do you
think it's power?

>> Because it's
they're being

powered by power because

there's wires
in the tubes.

>> Actually,
these windmills

are what make the power.

They use the wind
and then they

turn the wind into power.

So actually, it's a
little backwards.

These aren't fans like
we use in our house.

These are huge fans out
on somebody's land,

and they collect
wind energy,

actually, and turn
it into power.

What do you need to make

the picture
look like this?

Without this, it'd be

a very dark front porch.

Cali.

>> Energy.

>> Actually, I think
there's a better

one. Eddie.

>> Electricity.

>> We have to
be able to use

the wires that go
to the lights.

We need to be able
to turn them on.

The last one then
would be energy.

Why is this picture
showing energy?

Why is that picture
showing energy? Keegan.

>> Because they're using

computers because
it has power.

>> Yeah, they need

power to use
the computers.

So they get the power
through electricity,

which would be our energy.

Those three words
are tricky.

We're going to need to do

a lot of practice
with them

this week. They're
up here, though.

So when we do vocabulary,
take your time, please,

to make sure that you
have the right word

so that we match them
up the first time.

Otherwise, we're
going to be learning

them incorrectly.

Questions? Thumbs up if

you can follow this
direction when I say go.

We're going to
walk to our relay

lines without our voice.

Any questions? It doesn't
matter the order,

just need my first
person to go first.

Otherwise, the order
does not matter.

Without your voice,
walking feet.

Let's see if we can
get there in 5, 4,

3, 2, 1.

Yes. Any other
questions? Yes, Cameron.

>> Can we use the pictures

to help us with the words?

>> Yeah. Anything
on the vocab

while it's there
to help you.

Ready? Bella's group or

Abby's group needs to

stand up and
help Abby out.

She's about to do
it on her own.

First person in line,

on your marks,
get set, go.

you have left.

>> Come on, Daniel.
[BACKGROUND] [NOISE]

First person in line,

go ahead and get
them sorted.

Ariane's group
and Abby's group,

you may have a punch.

Thank you for paying

very careful attention to

the words so that we

weren't mixed
up at the end.

Run on back to your
seats. Two seats.

I'll take the cups
once they are sorted,

[NOISE] 5, 4,

3, 2, 1.

[NOISE] All eyes
over here, please.

When I have all eyes,

I'll give the direction.

We are going to do
the vocab crossword

to show me who has

those three tricky ones
figured out and who

does not quite
have it yet.

So I'm going to
pass this out.

You have two things
to help you.

One, the vocab wall.

Two, your spelling list in

your assignment book has

the vocab stuff
on the bottom.

Please use them so
that you can get

this done quickly
without your voice.

Thumbs up if you heard
all the directions.

And who can raise
your hand, tell me

a good choice to do if
you get done early?

I'l give about
six minutes.

Saneep would be
a good choice.

What?

Sorry. Read a book by
yourself at your desk.

Any questions? This is

a job that you
do on your own,

not with a partner.

Put your name at the top

and get started
right away.

[NOISE] Freddy, your
red group, bring

your paper and a pencil
over here quick,

please. Start
out with you.

[NOISE]

I'll be here for a minute.

Let's start with
two crosses.

Something related
to the sun.

It would be something
related to the sun.

Don't count on your
friends to help you.

We'll go back to our seat.

I need everybody working

on something
related to the sun.

[NOISE] Reina

>> Solar.

>> Solar, so
the two across

write down S-O-L-A-R,

solar, and then cross
out two across.

You already did
that one. Let's go

ahead and do one down.

Also, the first one

the down column. One down.

Move in a steady stream.

Eddie, what's move
in a steady stream?

>> Flows.

>> Flows.

>> So it's one
down, F-L-O-W-S.

Questions? If you need
to stay, you can.

Otherwise, you can

head back to your seat and

finish working
on your notes.

[NOISE] Your choice.

Let's keep going down
since there's only a

few down. Three down.

Anderson, energy
that can be used

to make lights and
machines work.

Which one means energy

you can use to make lights

and machines work? Marion.

>> Power.

>> Power. Three down.

P-O-W-E-R. Power.

So cross up three down,

one more down, four
down, three down.

See how it has a
three in a box.

Two of the nearest words.

>> I have one.

>> Four down. Beneath
the surface [NOISE] of

the earth. Tye,
what's beneath?

>> Underground.

>> Underground, long
one. So find four.

U going down,
U-N-D, four down.

E-R, underground,

G-R-O-U-N-D. Got
all the downs.

Let's go back
over to across.

Totally quiet makes
no sound. Gavin.

>> Silence.

>> Silence. We need
to find five across.

It already has an

S. S-I-L-E-N is
already there.

Six across. Cali and

Sidney give you give

yourself a punch
for making

a smart twist when
you're finished.

Six across.

Energy that flows
through wires. Trina.

>> Electricity.

>> Electricity,
a long one.

Ready? Six across
E-L-E-C-T-R,

it's already
there, I-C-I-T-Y.

Electricity.

[NOISE] Maybe it'll
be the bonus.

Number 7, power
from things like

electricity and
the sun. Gavin.

>> Energy.

>> Energy. So
seven across E and

E. Is there G-Y?

Let's double-check
since we

only have one word left.

Does haul mean
carry something?

>> Yes.

>> Yes. So
Number 8 across.

H-A-U-L, haul.

Please make sure
your names are at

the top and take it
back to your seat.

What was the good choice

that we should make
for you there?

>> Free.

>> So let me see everyone

here get back, please.

[NOISE] You're welcome.

About one minute
to finish up.

At your seat,
please. [NOISE]
