Sort and Classify
Through exploration and experimentation, we will learn what makes two objects look similar and different and sort objects into categories. Students will be asked to describe two objects as "exactly the same" or "the same but _____." These activities allow students to begin to reason and articulate their thinking.

Figure Out "How Many?"
Students will count, order, and write up to 10 objects to answer "how many" questions. They count objects in different configurations and will learn that the last number said tells the number of objects counted. They will also understand that objects counted in different ways still yield the same total.
Understand Relationships Between Numbers
Students will build on their understanding of relationships between numbers. They will realize that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one greater and that the number before is one less. This will lay the foundation for later in the year when we focus on "counting on" rather than "counting all."
We want students to expect school to be a dynamic and safe place to learn, an objective that will definitely be achieved with the help of our wonderful parents! We look forward to a wonderful school year, with continuous growth and learning from our students!
