This week we will study how to take a "picture walk" through stories read aloud.  We will compare real and make-believe differences within the stories.

Take a minute to read aloud with your child.  Encourage them to compare the characters within the story.  Comparing is a higher level thinking skill.  What other items can your child compare within the story you share with them?

We are learning to count objects with a focus on the knowing the last number counted represents our total amount.  

Practice counting with your child at home, in the car, or when you go on a walk.

This week we are focusing on the word "classmates".  Classmates create our "school family". Together our school family helps us grow, learn, and develop friendships.

Can your child share the names of new friends from school?  Who are their classmates?
