In math workshop, we are exploring odd and even numbers in relation to dividing numbers into two equal groups. For example, 20 is an even number because it can be divided into two groups of 10. This begins to lay a foundation for multiplication! Yesterday each child chose a material to sort into piles of odd and even numbers (playing cards, cuisenaire rods, or dominoes).
Mrs. Cermak will also come in this week to talk about kindness with our class. This is a topic we discuss often as we learn together in second grade. Students have many wonderful ideas of ways to be kind to others and we have been talking about ways to problem solve issues with classmates in an appropriate way. Ask your child how they have been kind lately! :)
