We have live butterfly larvae in the classroom and will be observing the life cycle of a painted lady butterfly and recording our findings in our insect journals. We wrote about our field trip to Vasona Park and worked on diagrams to accompany our insect reports. We will be working busily the for the next few days on getting ready for open house.
In second grade math we lay the foundation for multiplication and division. Students with a solid foundational understanding of using repeated addition, forming equal groups, skip counting, and odd and even numbers are better prepared for the higher level multiplication and division concepts taught in third grade and beyond. This week students learned about even and odd numbers. They formed pairs using various numbers and discovered that odd and even numbers have different characteristics. Ask your child to determine whether a number is odd or even and how he or she knows.
