Week of August 12, 2019

Welcome to the wonderful world of first grade!  We are very excited to have your child in our class.  The children appears to be adjusted well in first grade.  Below are some skills we will be covering this week in class.  The children will begin changing classes this week.  

• We will continue to work on learning procedures in first grade.
• We will talk about what makes each child special.
• The children will discuss about different kinds of families.
• Each child will be assessed in reading and math. 
• The children will work on recognizing rhyming words in poems
• Identify and read words with the inflectional ending -s
• .Identify, decode, and read short/a/ words in content
• Review previous learned math skills
• Identify and read high frequency words:  does, not, school, what
• The children will learn about the 7 Days of Creation in Bible.

After your child has been assessed in reading you may schedule a meeting with us to see how well they did and what they need to work on.  We can meet with you before school at 7:15, after school at 3:00, or during our planning time.  It will only take about 5 to 10 minutes.
