Well it's hard to believe this will be the last week of the first grading period. This week there will not be a reading focus or spelling list. Some students will have a spelling list to reteach and retest long a and long i. Look in your child's planner to see if he or she has to retest based on the past two spelling test grades.
This week in reading we will be focusing on building reading stamina and practice using different types of reading such as diagrams, maps, and learning different parts of books. Look for daily practice from class to come home in the planner for you to review with your child at home.
We will take the Unit one test in reading on Thursday. It counts as a part of your child's grade. There is nothing they can study for specifically however be sure your child is reading and logging in nightly. This is the best way to become a better reader. Rereading the stories in the text book is also a great way to build fluency.
At this point in the school year your child should have read 8 chapter books. If he or she is behind now is the time to catch up. Their goal is 30 by the end of the year. We have read one together in class that can be counted. It is Gooney Bird Greene. Ask your child what it is about!
