Reading
All Families:
Please read every night. We want our students to read 15-20 minutes daily with you or independently, outside of the classroom. This will make a huge difference in your child's academic success! Thank you!
A.R.: Accelerated Reader
In first grade, we introduce our students to A.R. in the 3rd Quarter! First-grade students must have a total of 2 A.R. points at the end of the 3rd quarter and the 4th quarter.
Need to find a book on A.R?
You can check the A.R. level or even see if the book is included in an A.R. Quiz! Click the link below.
Writing
We are working on writing:
-
Complete Sentences
-
We say, "Always start with an uppercase, all the rest are lowercase, don't forget the finger space,...POW for punctuation!"
-
Make sure your narrative story has a Beginning, Middle, and End!
-
Always go back and read your writing!
-
If you don't know how to spell your word, try your best. Underline it so that Ms. Spolini knows you tried your best to spell a word you don't know!
-
Make sure that illustrations match the writing and are full of details, too!
