Dear First Grade Families,
We are happy to see how our students have developed and grown a lot over the week by seeing and hearing patterns and using them to make rules in phonics. As powerful readers and writers, our students have learned to study names and use them to study any word, having as a goal review nineteen high frequency words. Keep in mind that phonics is a way of teaching children to read skilfully and it works better when children are given plenty of encouragement and learn to enjoy reading and books. Please remember 1st graders should be reading everyday for 20-25 minutes then write about what they read in their “Reading Response Notebooks”. Keep up the good work and keep our eyes on the goal ! Get ready to step into your child's shoes, join us for Open House on Sept 11th.
Thank you for your continued support,

Writing: As powerful and reflective writers, we are so proud of our writing pieces, use the chart “Talk about my writing” to retell at home about the last book you wrote: I am making ____________ I am proud of ________ This is tricky__________. Remember, writers admire their writing, noticing all the ways they’ve grown. They look at their old writing and their newest writing and they say, “Wow! Look what I can do now! “. Phonics: Use what we practice about “Snap Words” to read the book “Where do you see letters?”. Make sure to identify five new words, now turn those words into snap words: start by reading the words, then go through each step on the
