Monthly Reading Calendar and Book Report

This went home with your 1st grader last week. The goal is to read 15 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week. Two of the books should be non-fiction. There is an attached Book Report for your child to complete. The Reading Calendar and Book Report are due at the beginning of next month.

 

Monthly Poem

Each month the kids will learn to recite a poem, from the Chicken Soup series. Ms. Newton sent home September’s poem. Please be sure to practice with them at home. This month they will recite the poem as a class. October’s Poem will be tested individually.

1st Grade WhatsApp
