Reading Goals
• Our goal in first grade is FLUENCY! That means we would like for the children to read smoothly, accurately and quickly with ease.
• Another big goal in first grade is COMPREHENSION! Comprehension is the ability to understand the meanings communicated in stories/texts.
• We measure and monitor reading progress using the DIBELS test. During the test, a student reads 3 passages they have not seen before. The middle score of the passages is recorded. The December goal for a first grader is to read at least 20 words per minute. The May goal is 40 words per minute.
• READ! READ! READ! Research proves that volume reading increases fluency and comprehension.

Math Goals
• Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction
• Fact Fluency: Add and subtract within 20

(manipulatives).

Positive Behavior Rewards
At least once a month, students who have stayed on green and have returned ALL homework, will be allowed to participate in Fun Friday.
In addition, if a student does not "strike out" (move to red 3 times) during each 20 day school period, he/she will get to participate in special event planned by the principal. (The strike outs include bus and PE referrals.)
Parents will be notified when a "strike" is earned.
