This week we began our handwriting practice in class. I am carefully watching to make sure the letter formations are correct. Please remember that the letters DO NOT start from the bottom. NO LETTER or NUMBER is formed correctly starting from the baseline line (bottom line).
I am happy to say that each child has been assessed at their current reading level. So we all have a starting point and we are not looking back. It is onward and upward in our reading abilities. Speaking of reading, please make sure to ask your child comprehension questions after they get done reading their just right book to you each night. Comprehension is the toughest part to grasp in first grade but with practice it will make a HUGE difference.
On Thursday we celebrated Constitution Day. If you would like to see where we learned some of our information, check out these YouTube videos.

Word Study words will be sent home with your child on Day 1 of the cycle. Directions will be attached on how you can help your child at home each week with their specific word pattern they are learning about.
