First Grade Newsletter
Week of September 23, 2019
Literacy
We will be exploring non-fiction text and text features. Students will understand that as readers, we use text features in nonfiction books to find the information we are looking for. Understanding how to use text features such as the table of contents will help students to learn more from the nonfiction books they read.
At home, be detectives and practice using text features to find information from non-fiction books.
Please remember the reading homework is 15 minutes of reading five days a week.
