First Grade
Reading and Writing
Theme 8, Week 2,
- Vocabulary words: temperature, normal, select
- Comprehension strategy: use fix-up strategies and review monitor understanding
In reading, we are working on using fix-up strategies to help us understand our stories. We continue to ask questions before, during, and after reading a book to monitor our comprehension. Practice this at home while reading your books. In writing, we are moving from drafting to revising in the writing process. We are working very hard on our class books. It is been a great opportunity for us to use our writing process. We have finished our revising and now are working on our final draft. I can't wait for it to be done!
