This week in the classroom:   
 Our phonics skills of the week are the long u (ex. tube), long e (ex. 
these), and word ending -ed.  Practice words with these sounds throughout the 
week with your child.  Our story genre this week is Expository Nonfiction and 
the reading comprehension skill we will be practicing is Author’s Purpose.  
We will also continue with basic addition and subtraction this week.
 	We started a new assessment that began this past week, called 
fluency.  The Fluency test is on a page that I will keep in my records.  Your 
child will be given a passage on this test that he/she will read to me for 1 
minute.  I will mark the number of words that they read correctly to me in 
that minute.  The Mid-year goal for 1st grade is between 20-30 words per 
minute.  The end of the year goal is 60/min.  If your child scores within the 
goal range keep reading at home to increase their fluency rate.  If your 
child does not score in that range (in which I will notify you), don’t 
panic.  There could be a number of reasons why and I will work with you and 
your child on how to help increase their fluency rate.  When your child reads 
more fluently, they are able to comprehend more of what they are reading.  If 
you have any questions, please feel free to check with me!!

News and Upcoming Events:
