August 19th-23rd
Making friends is a life skill that is important to have. Our focus this week is all about friendship. We will read and discussed Huggapotamus by Steve Metzger. Throughout this week we learned what a friend is and how we can be a good friend to others. We are all unique in our own way, and we should know that we all can be friends no matter what!

Here are just a few activities you can do at home with your child this weekend:
- Make two fruit loop friendship bracelets by stringing fruit loops on a piece of string and giving one to a friend.
- Make a card and give it to a friend.
Math: We talked about why we count (to tell how many) and when we count. This week was all about our teen numbers 11-19. We counted, recognized and wrote numbers 11-19 on individual white boards.
In our first unit "counting with friends" these are the concepts students will use and understand
• Count by ones from 0 to 100
• Counting on from a given number
• Write numbers from 0 to 10
• Understand that when counting, the next number said is one larger (5 is one more than 4)
• Count to match objects in a set
Vocabulary
• Rote Counting: Orally counting in sequential order (0,1,2,3,4,5 etc.)
• Counting on: Instead of counting from one, counting forward from a given number.
• Number: A concept used to describe the count, size or position of objects
• Numeral: symbol or mark to represent a number
• Number Words: Names of numbers such as, one, two, three
• Set: Collection of numbers, figures, or other objects that have some characteristics in common.
Home Activities
• Have your child count the number of spoons in the drawer.
• Help your child learn to count forward from 1 to 50. Don’t always begin at 1; start at other numbers like counting up from 15 etc.
• While your child is taking a bath, spray a little shaving cream on the wall and have your child write the numbers 0 – 9.
• Lay out your child’s toys, and have your child touch and count each one.
• Place money in a straight line and have your child touch and count each coin (they do not need to know the name or value of the coins, just using them as a counter).
• Play games that require counting and using dice, such as Chutes and Ladders.
What is coming in math:
Concepts Students will Use and Understand
• Recognize, name, build, draw, compare, and sort simple two- and three-dimensional shapes
• Describe attributes and parts of two- and three-dimensional shapes,
• Group objects according to common properties
• Investigate and predict the results of putting together and taking apart simple two- and three-dimensional shapes
• Describe, name, and interpret relative positions in space and apply ideas about relative position
Vocabulary
• Triangle: a polygon with three sides
• Rectangle: a parallelogram with four angles
• Squares: a rectangle with four equal sides
• Circle: the set of all points in a plane that are the same distance from a fixed point
• Hexagon: a closed figure with six straight sides

• Sphere: s solid round object like a ball
• Cube: a solid figure with six square faces
On Monday we had our first lesson of the year with Mrs. Waite our guidance counselor! It was all about getting to know each other and following directions!
The rules we came up with for our class is as follows:
1. Follow directions the first time they are given.
2. Keep our hands and our feet to ourselves.
3. Walk on the blue line, hands by our sides and quiet voices.
4. Raise our hand to talk.
5. Be nice and kind friends.
6. We always try and do our best!
7. Be responsible, respectful, helpful and safe.
** Part of our Social Studies standards is why do we have rules and why we should follow them?**
How can we be a good citizen? Who are our authority figures? How do my actions change the way people think about me? What are rules and why do we need to follow them? These are just some of the questions we will answer in this unit.
You can put more than one day and more than one assignment per page. It helps to save paper and save you from having to buy another composition book. Please help your child complete the top row of the homework, read to/with them and complete choice 1 OR choice 2. If you want to do both choices go for it! Homework is a great time for you to see how your child is progressing academically so there are no surprises come the first report card and October conferences.
Please check agendas and folders daily as we write notes in the agendas and we send stuff home daily. It would be great if you initial daily as well so we know you saw their color or if a note went home.
