This week our 2nd grade mathematicians learned about what makes a fraction and how they have different names depending on how many parts there are.

Next week, we will begin to talk about fractions beyond a whole.  In 2nd grade we will learn about halves, fourths, and eighths.  

 Please be sure to check their Reflex each evening (via Classlink)  to be sure they have a green light each day.  That is the only homework they have and should not take more than 10 minutes, if they didn't finish at school.
