New UpdatesWelcome ! Please remind your child to bring home their Red Home Folder daily along with their Homework Pad. Please remember to include topics of interest your child can write about by discussing them and jotting them down in their Homework Pad all year long. I hope to encourage and influence your child's knowledge this first grade school year. Please continue to stress the part- part -whole relationship in math using the "T frame as a tool. Encourage your child to demonstrate how to use this "T" frame to help find the missing number. Visit www.pearsonsuccess.net should you want to take a closer look at the math curriculum in more detail. Word Rings will be sent home shortly as the students progress in the reading and spelling of their sight words. Thank you parents for practicing these words daily. If your child forgets to bring a baggie book home from school, please read a favorite book from home and chart as well on the Reading Log.Spelling Word Rings can be kept inside your child's red Home Folder, attached to the inside clip of your child's individual backback or even inside their nightly reading Baggie Book bag. Please just make sure their word ring is with them on their assigned day of the week. Each student has been assigned a book shopping day which will be the same day of the week for their sight word reading/spelling. Please look for the letter coming home the week of October 1,2018 which will inform you of their assigned day of the week. Should your child be absent on their assigned day, then Friday will be their day for that week. It's so exciting to see your children so happy to shop and begin to read! Your child's official reading level(s) will be assigned once I complete the DRA reading assessment over the next week or so. In the meantime, they are reading at a comfortable level and are engaged with books.Students have been assigned their reading levels. They are reading independently at one level as well as receiving guided instruction at another level to help them with their reading strategies. Please make sure your child is reading for at least 10 minutes a night and charting their reading on the reading record sheet.Writing is coming along nicely. Please help your child by listing some ideas into their Homework pads for Small moment stories. Thank you for your help.ALL PARENTSCHECK OUT THE SCHOLASTIC WEBSITE TO GET GREAT LITERATURE RECOMMENDATIONS.http://www.scholastic.com/parents/books-and-reading/book-lists-and-recommendations/6-7Here is the first of many websites your child will be working on in class and at home.
