Mrs. Fobbe's Class
First Grade
Reading and Writing
- Vocabulary words: harvested, scent, peaceful
- Comprehension strategy: use fix-up strategies and compare and contrast information
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 have moved from revising to editing in the writing process. This week we learned about verbs. We finally finished our class book. It was sent on Friday to be published. I am very excited to get it back!
On Friday, we were lucky to have Mr. Kuklok come in and read us a story about hockey.

Valentine's Day and 100th day of school
The next few weeks will be very exciting in first grade. On Friday, February 12th we will be celebrating Valentine’s Day and on Wednesday, February 17th we will be celebrating the 100th day of school! We’ll be celebrating these special events by doing many fun things that involve the number 100 and Valentine’s Day.
We are asking each child to bring 100 items to school for “Show and Tell” on Wednesday, February 17th. These 100 items MUST fit in your child’s backpack. This will give us a good idea as to how the number 100 stays the same, but bulk and design change.
On Friday, February 12th we will be exchanging Valentine’s. If your child chooses to bring a Valentine’s, please make sure that there is one for everyone in the class. If you decide to send a treat as well, please make sure that it is commercially prepared and individually wrapped. Below you will find a list of the children in our class.
