Accelerated Reading starts this week. In the folder you will find a letter explaining the Accelerated Reading Program, your child’s first AR book and Oral Reading Card. The children are to read 10 – 15 minutes each night. Parents are to sign and date the reading card each night and the children return the Reading Card to school every Friday. For this week all children will take their first AR test on Friday.
Class News
Beginning this week the children will have additional homework. The subjects are Spelling, Reading Vocabulary, Family Times and Oral Reading. Each week you will receive the new list of spelling and vocabulary words, AR book and Reading Card in the Monday folder. All other homework will be sent home each day.
Enclosed in the Monday folder is a Homework Schedule. The homework schedule has an explanation of every assignment and the day it is to be completed. Keep this schedule so that you understand the homework your child is to complete each night.
Last week you received my Discipline Policy for the School Year. Enclosed in the Monday folder is the additional rules that have been established by the first grade students. Please review the rules with your child.
PE begins this Thursday. The children wear their PE clothes to school on Thursdays.
