We have been counting by 1s to 100 and today we began skip counting by 2s.  Skip counting is an important concept to master, as is it the foundation for much of the Math curriculum.  To reinforce the concepts taught in class and help your child with mastery, please review counting by 1s and 2s to 100 nightly. 

In Grade 2 Science, we compared the density of three liquids (oil, water and corn syrup).  Students were excited as we saw these three liquids separate into layers.  We also watched a neat experiment online that some students are excited to try at home.
