Reading Levels
I have had a few
different parents ask about their kiddos reading level, so I wanted to let
everyone know that in first grade we spend the first four weeks of school
establishing routines and building students’ stamina to be able to work
independently. This way we can successfully have reading groups. Your kiddo has
not yet been assessed on their reading level this year. We will do the reading
assessments starting the week of September 18th. At that time, I can give you more specific
information about how your kiddo is doing in reading. Until then, it would be
very beneficial to work with your kiddo on the sight words in their take home
folders and read together every day.
Fall Wonder Table
This week I send
home a letter requesting fall items to place on our Wonder Table. These can be pumpkins, gourds, fall leaves,
etc. These items will help us learn about observing, asking questions, and
investigating answers.
