LEARNING TOGETHER

2Nd Grade: curiosity starts here.

Higher order thinking means helping children explain their ideas, ask questions, and consider more than one way to solve a problem.

Read & discuss

Read together, talk about characters, and ask what might happen next. Invite your child to explain an answer in their own words.

Think & explain

Use everyday objects to explore a maths question. Ask how your child reached an answer and whether another approach could work.

Observe & explore

Notice the natural world together. Record a question, make a prediction, and compare it with what you observe.

These are ideas for learning together at home. Ask your child’s teacher about current classroom topics and individual learning goals.
