To get ready for testing, we will be playing "Around The World", Sight Word Bingo and "I've Got, Who Has?". These are all wonderful games that fully immerse the children in the sight words.
We will also be testing fluency. Students will read three different passages to me. Each passage is one that they have never seen before. We call this a "cold read." I will stop each student after one minute. I tally their mistakes and figure out how many correct words per minute they are reading. Your child will have a grade on the report card reflecting their fluency. The fluency rates for first grade are:
February - Winter: May - Spring:
47+ Words = P 75+ Words = P
23 - 46 Words = D 53 - 74 Words = D
22 Words or Less = B 52 Words or Less = B
Remember that conferences are on March 1st, 3rd and 4th. I look forward to seeing you at your scheduled time. If for some reason, you are unable to make your 20 minute conferences, please let me know. We will work together to find a better time to meet. See you soon!
We are back to cross country skiing in gym. Please send all appropriate clothing with your child.
