Virtues
Being cooperative is being willing to go along in order to get along. We are respectful of the rules. We consider other people's needs. We look for ways to be helpful, and we ask for help when we need it. Cooperation helps us bring together the ideas of many so that a new idea can come to light. Working together, we can make any place a safe and happy one.
Here are some reflection questions to discuss with your child:
When have you needed someone else's help to do something difficult?
When have you helped someone else to do something they could not do without you?
Describe what it is like when there is no cooperation in a group?
What can you do with others you cannot do yourself?
Thanks for your support!

Dear Family Member:
This week our class will focus on traditions. We will talk about how our traditions can teach us about different cultures.
Here are some activities that you can do with your child to help reinforce the skills we’ll be practicing.
Word Workout
- Words to Know: context clues Help your child describe a birthday party for the United States using this week’s vocabulary words. You will talk about why it would be different from other birthday parties.
- Spelling/Phonics: short vowels e, o, u Your child is going to name the letter that stands for the vowel he or she hears when you read a word from the list. Then your child will spell the word.
Comprehension: sequence
You will read a story about a boy who builds a model of the first Thanksgiving. Help your child follow the order of events in the story. Then your child will number the events in the correct order to show what happened in the story.
Math
