THANK YOU!
A warm thank you goes out to all the parents who took the time to come to conferences. We really appreciate your commitment to hear and see what and how your child is doing in class.

For parents who may have missed their conference date, please call the school to make another appointment with your child’s teacher.



Some High Frequency words to study at home are:
put said some may play
look more will day your
out who part there them
way say

Your child's reading goal is to be able to read at Level E.
Please have your child read 30 or more minutes at home EVERY DAY!

We are working writing everyday in first grade. "First graders draw
primarily on their own experience and knowledge as the source of
material for their writings. They also borrow from and build on the
stories read to them, as well as create their own fiction." (Reading
and Writing Grade by Grade, First Grade, Writing Standard 2, p.112)

SKILLS
Some of the skills we will be working on include:
segmenting and blending middle and ending sounds to read unfamiliar words
ending consonants
two consonant beginning blends
word families ending in frequent rimes
using descriptive words when speaking of people, places, things, actions and events
vary sentence openers

Thanks Again for Participating or Diligently in your Child's Learning!
Mrs. Xiong
