A peek at our week:
This week, we are studying the short I sound and practicing –in and –ig word families. We have read “How I Grew” and learned about how kids grow. The timelines you are working on at home will be a perfect extension of what we are learning at school. We have started the “word work” portion of our day. We are continuing to work on checking for understanding when we read a page. We are also working on our thinking stem “I am thinking…” I am so proud of what great thinkers our first graders are!

Reading Log
I am very flexible with the reading portion of the homework because my goal is for you to read books that are interesting and a good fit for your child. Please let me know if you need help finding a book that is on your child’s reading level and I will be happy to help.
There is more information on the back!
