Reading
- In Readers Workshop this week, we will continue learning different strategies to solve tricky words as we read.
- We will have 4 new reading buddies this week: Lips the Fish, Skippy Frog, Flippy Dolphin, and Chunky Monkey.
- We will learn that in 1st grade, we do NOT give up when we get stuck on a hard word. We use all that we know, including the picture, to help us figure out the hard word.
- Vowels are a very important part of solving words. We will learn that vowels have 2 sounds each and to try each sound if we get stuck on a word.
- We will finish up our first reading unit this Friday and the students will celebrate by writing down a new habit they have learned as a 1st grade reader!

- You will see a GREEN WORD STUDY BOOKLET in the back of your child's binder. Just a reminder that this booklet stays in their binder. It should never stay at home. ALSO, your child should NOT work ahead on this booklet at home. We will work through it together at school, and then they can use it as a study tool at home. Please make sure they DO NOT work ahead in it at home. Thank you for your help with this!
