Learning Focus
Announcements
Hopefully you saw the math work mats that have
been coming home. These will be marked using a
(+, √+, √, or a √-). These will NOT be counted as a
grade, but used as a resource to guide my
instruction and for you to use as a review at home.
We have begun our Quick Checks here at school
as well. These short review sheets will be given the
day after the lesson is taught \ to verify
understanding of a concept before moving onto
the next lesson. The scores on these Quick
Checks will be entered in to Progress Book.

problem counting these numbers no matter how the
arrangements, and benefitted from spending time
writing them. They learned the importance of correct
formation and how they should use the lines on the
paper to help in correctly forming these numbers.
During interactive/shared writing our focus has been
on one-to-one correspondence (pointing to each word
as they read it), as well as, using finger spacing between
