PLEASE NO VALUABLES OR BREAKABLES. Your child should be able to tell how they counted for example by ones, two's, five's or tens. How did they keep it organized so they didn't lose count.

MATH:
We are working on number concepts. Please make sure your child confidently knows all the numbers from 1-20. If not, post and practice at home daily. We are all reviewing ones block/digit and tens block/digit.
OPTIONAL HOMEWORK - Practice counting by 1's, 5's and 10's to 100. Practice counting by 2's to 20. Identify any number from 1-100 (especially confident with 1-20 - the teen numbers can be tricky). Be confident with identifying a number and being able to tell what is one/two more and one/two less.
SCIENCE/SOCIAL STUDIES:
We have completed the Senses Unit. On Monday, your child will take home the test that was given on Thursday. Please review, praise and talk about any mistakes. Please sign test and return to school.
OPTIONAL HOMEWORK - With adult support, try experiments at home. Here is a video to support you - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lpev_Raequo. Here are some resources - http://www.learnplayimagine.com/2013/01/12-games-and-activities-to-teach.html
GYM:
We practiced some volleyball skills. Then we also have Dance Strong in the next few weeks too - dancing/grooving/exercising to music.
