3- ***NEW Timed Reading Fluency Passage and Skills Practice :
In an effort to better meet ALL my students’ individual reading level, I changed this aspect of the weekly homework for the rest of the year. Please take a minute to look carefully at their passage as well as their “Skills Practice.” It is MUCH MORE involved than simply reading a passage, and as before, it counts toward your student’s reading minutes.
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.
The following are programs are EXTRAS, that your student can do for EXTRA PRACTICE. They are not a required part of weekly homework.
Students may use our online reading program Raz-Kids. Our class Raz-Kids login is: dvella0 (That’s a zero)
WATERFORD: You should have all received an email, from WEL support, around the 12th of January. Waterford, a L.A,program, covers many aspects spelling, reading and writing. We use it in our first grade classes on a daily basis.
FRONT ROW: While this is not a new program, it is new to our class. Friday your student took a FRONT ROW pretest for WORD STUDY. They are all leveled, and ready to go. Basically, they will be practicing word sorts according to certain basic phonics/spelling rules . They need to enter their first and last name, as well as OUR CLASS CODE: vellau
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns with any of these programs. I will do my best to answer your questions, and if I can’t, will do some research to find them.
DON’T FORGET TO PRACTICE COMPREHENSION WHEN READING WITH YOUR STUDENT!!!
5. Phonics and High Frequency Words
High Frequency Words
Here is the link to print our weekly spelling homework form: New Weekly Spelling Homework **Remember if you choose not to print off and use this form you need to make sure your student is writing each word and the sentence daily on paper, and that all writing is nice and neat as well as organized like the form, and that the papers get turned in on Friday for credit.
Our spelling test will be Friday, April 28th.
NEW WORDS:
man

The spelling words with sentence are worth 20 points/day this week. The spelling test will be given Friday April 28th.
6- Question of the Week: If you could be any pollinator, who/what would you be?
You may want to look some up on the internet, just to make things a little more interesting, and share something different than the few we have talked about in class. Make sure you tell your parents what/who a pollinator is. YOU ARE ALL SO SMART!!!
Please post responses in the comments/response box below, so that your student’s response shows for credit .
