Reading:
I am currently testing all first grade students for
the end of the year DIBELS reading assessment. So far, the results look
favorable. Toward the end of May, Mr. Birdwell will have a hardcopy of the K-4
DIBELS assessment scores to review.

The students have worked on the following words in
spelling: rain, wait, train, paint, brain, stain, gain, were, there, where,
boy, toy, joy, now, cow, how, down, brown, when, which, would, should, could, find,
kind, their, many, other, first, been, more, who, people, use, water, little,
very, after, words, and her.
Language Arts:
We have been working on letter and story writing.
Math:
In the area of math, students are working on the
following objectives: identifying and drawing polygons, subtracting 10 from a
number, identifying fractional parts of a set, identifying geometric solids-
cubes and cylinders, measuring and drawing line segments to the nearest
centimeter, graphing tags on a bar graph, and counting dimes, nickels and
pennies.
Phonics:
Students are in the process of reviewing all consonant
digraphs, trigraphs, vowel digraphs, combinations,
prefixes and suffixes.
Social Studies: We are almost finished with our New
Mexico unit. We hope to have our book completed in the next few weeks.
Have a great summer,
