Today we focused on brainstorming all the words that end with the
letters at. The students are showing so much growth!!
In
addition to learning letter names and sounds we have focused on word
reading. Our reading program has
introduced several words and I have included several more to help with our
writing program.
Writing
We are becoming
wonderful writers. Our unit of study is
Narrative writing. We continue to
practice sounding out words to spell words, start each sentence with a capital
letter, leave spaces between words, and using a punctuation mark at the end of
the sentence.
WOW! It is amazing to watch the students begin to
write.
Math
This unit of math has
focused on addition to 10.
We also count to 100
daily. Please practice at home if your
child is still unable to count to 100.
Introduced place value
with teen numbere.
Ongoing is the review
of 2D and 3D shapes.
The Ridgeview Read-A-Thon is just around the corner!
Ridgeview's Read-A-Thon runs through the month of February. During this time, students will use reading logs to keep track of the minutes they read or are being read to by a parent. Weekly drawings will be held, prizes will be awarded for students efforts. This event sponsored by the PTO. I will be sending more information soon!
