We continue to focus on reading strategies to help first graders become
independent readers. At home you can help by:
- Reviewing wordlist in your child's reading notebook.
- Reading their daily journal and seatwork together.
- Listening to your child read their weekly reading book.
- Encourage your child to read daily for 15 minutes
- Visit the public library.
- Playing games using their words.
We also do many types of writing activities to help the students become
independent writers. Encourage your child to show examples of their
writing activities to you. At home you can help by making a writing
box with a variety of paper, pens, crayons, and other writing materials. Encourage your child
to write notes, make books, etc. to use their writing skills.
In Math we will continue to focus on addition and subtraction fact
families. We also will begin a unit in April on place value. Help at
home with basic facts, reading and writing numbers to 200, and practicing
with money would be beneficial!
Please help us daily by checking you child's planner and making sure
they have pencils, crayons and glue sticks.
Thank You.
