Unit 2 -Friends
Week 2

In Unit 2, children will be talking about friendship, how to be a good friend, and ways to resolve conflicts with friends. Through the story time books, children hear about the importance of being who you are, helping friends, enjoying special times together, and getting along. In addition to listening to stories, children will learn to identify rhyming works and beginning letters and sounds in words, as they build vocabulary and comprehension skills. They will also participate in a variety of music, poetry, math, science, and art activities.
