Expectations
Teachers provide math homework to do outside of class. Class 2 students can expect to spend 1 hour outside of this class on homework.
Students do not need to be enrolled in Lotus & Ivy Main Lesson Class to enroll in Lotus & Ivy Math or Language Arts Skills Practice; however, most students in the Math & Language Arts Skills Practice class are also in the Main Lesson class. If registering a la carte for Math or Language Arts Skills Practice, we recommend you follow the same Main Lesson block rotation at home.

Please Note: There are two math main lesson blocks for Class 2. These are taught as part of the Lotus & Ivy Main Lesson Classes. Both our main lesson classes and our Math & Language Arts Practice classes, together, are part of the full Lotus & Ivy curriculum, which provides a solid, whole-child, and rigorous math education. We encourage students to enroll in our Math and Language Arts Skills program, in addition to our main lesson classes, because it gives children a year-long course in age-appropriate math and language arts topics in addition to the math and language main lessons.
