Pirate Points from Mrs. Lee's Class
Week of August 28, 2013
Some Reminders for Our Class
*Send a small snack each day.
*Wear sneakers on Mondays and Tuesdays for PE.
*Make sure all money is in a labeled baggie with your child's name.
*Changes of transportation must be made in writing.
Homework
First graders will bring home math homework on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please check over your child's work and let me know if he/she struggles.
Guided Reading
We are beginning Guided Reading today! Each child will be part of a flexible, guided reading group daily. During this time, we will do some word work, read a leveled text, and guided writing. Your child will bring a reading bag home each night Monday-Thursday. You need to listen to your child read, practice the sight words on the grid in the folder, sign the reading log, and return to school daily. This is daily homework and must be done consistently to have success in reading. It will take a few weeks for me to get the best instructional level for each group, so some books may be a little too hard or easy at first. Feel free to leave comments on the reading log to let me know how your child does with the book.
Math...the new way!
