Wow! Just a few more days until the Winter Break! It amazes me how fast time flies, and it amazes me how much first graders grow and change during the year! One of the biggest changes is in reading ability. Every child in this class has made gains with their reading fluency, accuracy, and comprehension. During the break, please take time to read to and with your child. Encourage them to read independently as well. The way to become a better reader is to...read!
A few reminders for this week:
Spirit Day is this Wednesday.
Friday is a half-day of school. It is also our annual pajama day. We will have our class party in the morning. All parents are welcome to attend. We will enjoy breakfast and make a craft. Later that morning we will meet in the theater for a lower division sing along. It's a lot of fun!
We will not have reading folders this week, and our spelling test will be Thursday. We're doing it on our white boards, so there will not be a copy sent home. It's a fun way for the fun week!
Robust Vocabulary:
captured, mercy, struggling, compatible, amiable, relax
Wishing you and your family a great week!
Thank you for taking the time to update this information. It is very helpful! The kids are all very excited about the party on Friday. What a great way to head into the holidays.
