This week in math we are studying patterns.  Students will work to extend patterns based on colors, shapes, sizes, and letters.  Here's an example of a pattern your child will extend:

To solve this pattern, students will identify the colors that make up the pattern (green, orange, yellow).  They will circle the pattern, then use it to fill in the blank.  Here's a link to learn more about how to solve patterns: How to Solve a Math Pattern Links to an external site..

In science this week, we're going to begin studying weather.  According to the our 2nd grade science standards, students will learn about:

  • how and why weather changes
  • how we can observe weather (through our 5 senses)
  • seasonal weather patterns

Here's a video about odd weather patterns that you and your child might find interesting!
