This month’s focus is Cooperation. One way to think about Cooperation is “working together to reach shared goals.” As a family, talk about how this definition applies to how you work together at home. What are some goals you share?

A few examples of how to demonstrate cooperation:

• active listening
• being open to others' ideas
• sharing supplies
• compromising
• problem resolution
• open and constructive communication

Reading aloud is one of the most important things parents and teachers can do with children. Reading aloud introduces vocabulary, models fluency and expression and shows children what reading for pleasure is all about. I have shared a lot of laughs with your children recently, I hope you find the time to do so also. Kids of all ages love snuggling up with their parents and listening to a story!

Here is what's going on in Math:

• K--Counting to 100, writing numbers 1--100, composing and decomposing numbers, ex, 2+4=6, 4+2=6, 6-2=4, and 6-4=2
• 1st--Adding multiples of 10, working on word problems, adding tens and ones with a number line and models, adding using place value, subtracting tens, and using mental math subtracting tens.
• 2nd--Stacking up and adding three digit numbers, problem solving using addition, stacking up and subtracting three digit numbers, problem solving using subtraction,and learning to measure lengths.
• 3rd--Using a multiplication chart, solving two step word problems with multiplication and division, solving word problems using all operations, understanding equivalent fractions as numbers, and fractions as a whole.
