*The comprehension test that will be in the Friday Folder will not be graded. The skill that it assesses is fact/opinion. This is the first exposure to fact/opinion for first grade so I read all questions and answers for them. When you review these you will notice quite a lot of children have a good grasp of this concept but because of it being their first experience, it will not affect those students who did not do as well.

A Decodable Reader will be coming home on Wednesday. This needs to be read several times to achieve accuracy and fluency.
Please sign the back and send it back to school the next day.

The new spelling list will be brought home today. The test will be Friday, so practice the words in the green notebook if necessary.

Please listen to your child read “Frog and Toad” on Thursday.

The comprehension and writing assessments will also be on Friday.

Remember to review the words in the blue notebook. These words should be read on sight. They should not have to be sounded out.
This is a homework assignment especially for those students who are not getting 5/5 or 4/5 on the comprehension tests.

Topic 8 in math continues… Friday the reteaching page will be brought home. Review this for the assessment that will be on Monday (3/7).

Homework is always to read every night with your child. Remember to write all books that you read on your February Reading Log!

-Don’t forget that our room is chilly at times. Please send in a jacket, sweatshirt or sweater WITHOUT a hood.

-We will be going outside for recess unless it is raining or below 40 degrees so send your son/daughter with weather appropriate clothing.

**Review Friday Folder material. Sign the back page and return on Monday. **
