At the beginning of September, this reading log was in your child’s folder. Quest has a no homework policy, however reading is not considered homework, it is ESSENTIAL for your child’s success! This is just a fun way for you and your child to keep track of your reading. When your child reads, or when you read to your child you can sign or initial near the apple and your child can color in an apple. At the end of the month, they can bring it back to school for a small surprise!! At the beginning of each new month a new reading log will come home.
Remember, at the front of your child’s folder there will be lots of reading passages your child can read. These are excellent to practice every night. I also provide you with the weeks decodable books on the blog. If you feel like your child needs more let me know. There are also lots of fun chapter book series for first graders that you can get from the library or order online. Here is a blog post that I found that has a lot of good ideas for book series.

Words to know!!
Sound focus this week is short a!
Making Ten with Ten Frame
You will need:
*playing cards with numbers (uno cards) or cut number cards out that are found in “Home Folder”
* 2 sets units/manipulatives
How to play:
Set aside one 10 card and place it to the side of the ten frame to show your child this is the number we are making. Have them choose a card from the pile. Have them fill in the ten frames using the same unit to reflect the number they choose. Last, have them fill in the remaining spots with different units to complete their ten frames. Have them write the equations that they created. (6+4=10)
Our days are running smoother as we are getting to know each other and the expectations. We start doing rotations and specials this week, so that’s exciting. We are diving into our classroom expectations a little deeper, last week we discussed how we can take care of ourselves. Please talk about this with your child, in class if I see a friend that needs a reminder, I will say, is that taking care of yourself? How can you change that behavior? My hope is that my students will take responsibility for their actions as they learn to associate with friends and learn to work more independently .
Continue working on high frequency words from last week! This weeks folder will include more reading passages as well as a reading log for you to track when you read with your child. As we get into September the passages that go home will be more differentiated based on reading levels.
The first three days were great! We did lots of practicing procedures and learning how to use the tools in our classroom. We discussed how to be a good friend, ways to make our classroom like a family and that it is okay to feel scared, nervous, excited and happy!
What to look forward to.

Words to Know!!! Here are the High Frequency Words we will be working on for the next couple of weeks. These should be review from Kindergarten, but it is always helpful to make sure your child knows them.
Here are some ideas on how to help your child to be successful in 1st grade. Learning to read and do math is IMPORTANT!! BUT in first grade we also learn new social skills and learn to be more independent.
“Your child has already conquered Kindergarten. Now it’s time to look ahead to First Grade. Amid the excitement, you probably have lots of questions.What does it mean to be first grade ready? What does First Grade look like these days? What will my child be expected to know? You may wonder what you can do to make sure your child is prepared for this big step in his academic career.
Don’t worry! Here are the most important readiness skills your child will need before beginning First Grade. We will also suggest simple things you can do at home to help.
Follows Rules and Expectations at Home and School
Social skills are a huge part of school success. Students who are able to follow directions and interact well with their peers have a happier school experience and are able to learn better. Does your child get along well with others? Do they understand the concepts of taking turns?
In Preschool and Kindergarten, children become familiar with the routines and expectations of school, but there are things parents can do at home to teach and practice as well:
Present a unified front with your child’s teachers at school. Help her understand that her parents and teachers are all on the same page.
Use polite words such as “please”, “thank you”, and “excuse me”, and encourage your child to do the same. What children see is what they do, so make good manners a household habit.
Children need practice interacting with others outside of school. Does your child play with neighborhood children or go on playdates? Do they play a sport or enjoy a hobby? These types of activities provide rich opportunities for socialization even away from the classroom.
Keep in mind that your child’s First Grade class may have more children than their Kindergarten class did. In First Grade, they will be expected to work independently and stay focused on a task for longer amounts of time. Help your child be prepared by having them work or play independently at home while you cook dinner or work on something around the house. Praise them for keeping occupied for a designated amount of time without interrupting you (except for emergencies, of course), and challenge them to beat their record next time.”
