Scholastic Book Orders
Please consider ordering books for your child from scholastic and use our classroom code! When you order books, I get points to use on new books for our classroom. :)
Class Code: QD6X8
Guided Reading
Guided reading is now taking place in Language Arts. Students were given the DRA to determine their reading level. I will be meeting with groups daily based on their reading levels. We will practice reading fluency, comprehension, phonics/word study skills, and writing about what we have read. In first grade, the end of the year goal is to be reading at a DRA 16 or higher.
Homework
In first grade, students are required to read 10 minutes nightly and turn in their reading log every Friday. That is the only required homework, however, an optional homework grid will come home every month. Please aim to complete eight of these activities. Staple or paperclip the completed Monday Math sheets and other activities to the grid and return on the last day of the month.
Word Wall (Sight Words)
Five words came home every week for you to review with your child. Students will be expected to read and correctly spell these words every Friday. Check out the website spelling city, I have added all the words for you to practice! Here is the website: https://www.spellingcity.com/users/edowning17
