Mrs. Fobbe's Class
First Grade
Reading and Writing
- Vocabulary words: equal, talent, believe
- Comprehension strategy: Determine importance, Retelling
In reading, we are listening for important details the author used to help us understand the story. We have been practicing retelling stories by making sure we hit the important parts and not retell word for word. We continue working on using fix-up strategies and ask questions before, during, and after reading a book to monitor our comprehension. Practice retelling at home while reading your books. In writing, we are working on publishing and reviewing prewriting. The students are taking a rough draft of one of their stories and are working on making a final copy to be published and shared with the class. :) I am loving all the wonderful stories. We have had the opportunity to listen to some published stories and I continue to be amazed. :)
