What does math look like in second grade?

Well, we first ask all of our classmates what their favorite things are, then collect the data and make bar graphs representing the results. We will next summarize and analyze the results collectively.

Lowell does a good job, and an early part: Sorting and Classifying Halloween candy!

tho I wish it were. It's a private school. Our daughters went there (thru 3d grade, as far as the school went at the time,) because there were no suitable schools in DC.

And when they started, pre-K, Lowell was 1 block away from our home, a super asset at the time!
