Overarching Student Learning Goals
In this unit, your child will work to build an understanding of the following: Resources/Tasks to support your child at home.
Pair each object with one number name in the standard order. • Count out a set of objects (up to five), place the objects in
front of your child and have them count and say the
number in the set. Example: Place 4 pieces of cereal in
front of your child have them touch each piece as they
count: “one, two, three, four.”
Understand the last number said tells the total objects counted. • Using no more than 5 stickers, have your child place them
on a piece of paper and count each sticker as they place
them on the paper. After they have placed all the stickers
on the paper, encourage them to identify the total
number of the paper.
Parent: How many stickers?
Child: One, two, three, four, five.
