First Grade Newsletter
Week of April 24, 2023
Literacy
In ReadyGen we continue to focus on characters, setting, and retelling. Students are also learning to recall information in a nonfiction text. Students are learning the difference between fiction and non-fiction reading material. Vocabulary and parts of speech (nouns, proper nouns, and verbs) are essential parts of our lessons. Syllables, punctuation, contractions, ABC order and compound words are points of focus in our grammar lessons.
Phonics
Focus:
Compound words-(football, baseball, beanstalk)
Suffix -ly and -ful
Vowel sound “oo”
(loudly, sadly, helpful, slowly, moon, zoo, spoon 1)
