We have had
a wonderful first have of the year! I am looking forward to see what
the second half of this year will hold for all my students. We still have so
much to learn!!!
As we
begin the 3rd quarter I want to encourage parents to be reading and talking
with your students each night. This
will help your children grow in their reading abilities. There are lots of
questions that you can ask your first grader before, during, and after reading
books. (ex. What do you think this story will be about? Who is the main
character of the story? Where does the story take place? What is the problem in
the story and how do you think it will be solved? What is the main idea of the
story?) These questions will really help the children to begin thinking about
what they are reading.
Also...
don't forget to visit your local library with your child! This way they will have
lots of books to choose from each night to read
!
