First Grade News
Week of September 6 - 13
Reading
We are beginning Unit 1 in the Adventures of the Superkids this week. We will be reading the stories in class, so there will be no study guides. The test for unit 1 is next Wednesday.
Please review sight words each night. Your child can test at least twice a week.
AR testing is going really good. The students are doing a great job learning how to log on the computer and complete test. Try to encourage your child to test at least once a week. A parent log in sheet went home last week. This allows you to see your child's progress and get notifications when they test. It is in their AR pocket in their binder.
Spelling
The spelling words for Unit 1 are I, my, she, her, his, he, wish, trash, lunch, and catch. This test will be next Wednesday. We will also have a sound test each week. The test will be the letters used in the spelling words. The sounds for this week are i, m, y, e, h, s, w, t, r, a, l, u, n, c, ch, sh and tch.
Homework packets went home today. Homework is always due on test day. Please try not to do all the homework in one night. Sometimes we have not covered the grammar part until later in the week.
