If your child wants to do every problem they are certainly free to do so! 🙂 Please check your child’s answers for accuracy!
- Practice your fluency timing repeatedly: “Adding 8, 9, and 10.” Record your best time and score each day. [By the end of first grade, the target goal is to finish all 25 problems in 1 minute and 15 seconds, with 90% accuracy (23 out of 25 problems correct).] Click here for extra timings: Fluency Timings

3- NEW THIS WEEK!!! One Minute Reading Fluency. Lesson #1 from this link: Phonics Fluency Stories
This daily one-minute timed fluency reading will help your student become a fluent reader. It will also count as reading minutes. Time your student for one minute. Record the number of words they were able to read CORRECTLY in one minute.
*Want to save paper? Have your student read the passage online, then simply record their CORRECT words read/minute each day on their spelling homework form.
4- Reading: 20 minutes/day or a total of 100 minutes/week:
RECORD YOUR READING MINUTES ON THE “BOOK IT” READING LOG located in your student’s green folder.
***There are several sources for reading: “Reading for all Learners” also known as”Baggy Books,” books from the school library, books from home, as well as the public library. Students may also use our online reading program Raz-Kids. Our class Raz-Kids login is: dvella0 (That’s a zero)
I am sure you noticed that your student brought home their “Baggy Book” Friday. They were so excited!!! I explained to your student(s) that I, along with the other first grade teachers, have spent a large amount of our money to personally purchase these books. Replacement of any lost or damaged books will be the responsibility of the student/family. PLEASE, help your student take care of these books by keeping them in the plastic bag until being read.
Books are to be returned daily in the plastic bag, then, placed inside their green homework folder. In order for your student to pass off each book, they must have fewer than 3 mistakes/book. They must also have a parent, guardian, or volunteer signature on the reading log.
ipad users….
I have some wonderful news for you. The company called Academic Success For All Learners has a fabulous app for only $10. The $10 allows you to get a whole set of eBooks. I would suggest starting with the first set (RED) which contains 27 ebooks. These are the same books we will be using for our class “Baggie Books.”

Don’t forget about reading comprehension! Understanding what you are reading is just as important as being a fluent reader!!! PLEASE use these Re-Tell Ropes whenever you are reading with your student checking for understanding. THIS HELPS STUDENTS PREPARE FOR OUR LANGUAGE ARTS WORK ON FRONT ROW AND DIBELS TEST COMPREHENSION.

The spelling words and sentence are worth 16 points/day this week. The spelling test will be given Friday.
***Your student needs to write EACH spelling word once in the 1st 5 boxes and the 3 Phonics words in the following 3 boxes. There should be plenty of space to write the sentence once on the 2 lines provided at the bottom of each page on the form.
I am still seeing a lot of incorrectly formed letters and letter placement! PLEASE, PLEASE , PLEASE LOOK AT YOUR STUDENT’S WORK. IF THEY HAVE PLACED ALL LETTERS IN THE CORRECT SUPER,!!!! IF NOT, HAVE THEM “REVISIT” AND FIX THE PLACEMENT OF EACH LETTER/WORD.
