First Grade News
Week of March 1-8
Reading
The nine weeks ends next week. Wednesday will be the last day of the nine weeks for AR testing. I will be increasing goals for the last nine weeks. If your child is reading chapter books, they will keep the same goal for next nine weeks.
I will continue to test on Sight words each week. I will begin going back a few times a week and spot checking students on past list. The better and faster that they can recognize words, the more fluent reader they will become.
Spelling
The sounds for this week are o, n, c, e, w, ar, m, g, i, v, d, a, l, k, f, ou, r, b, and ow. This test will also be on Wednesday.
Homework packets are due next Wednesday.
Grammar
We will also be working on testing strategies and other testing techniques each day.
Parent/Teacher Conferences
If you do not wish to conference at this time, I will send you a sheet to sign. Just email me and let me know. If we have already met with you, in the last few months, you don't have to sign up for another conference, unless you feel the need to meet again.
