100 Book Challenge: The children are becoming more independent in their reading every day! Please allow your child to fill out the whole step: Step number, title, date, and level. You sign in the “coach’s” column. Remember that only one title should be written for the full 15 minutes of reading. Please sit with your child as he or she reads, so you can see how well the reading matches the text. Refer to your child’s Skills Card for words and sounds to review. Look over the strategies to see the language we are using in our classroom. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Homework: Every day, please take time to review the kindergarten high frequency words and first grade words. Our goal is to be able to read these words at first sight, and spell them correctly in our day to day writing.
READING: Every day, please listen to your child read for 15 minutes, with a timer. Be sure to write ONE title on your child’s reading log and initial it.
MATH: Wednesday of this week.
Language Arts: In reading, we’re learning more about the features of informational text, such as headings, labels, indexes and glossaries.
Math: We’re looking at the relationship of addition and subtraction. We’ll finish Topic 2 this week!
