Moving Up Night
Welcome to First Grade!
MS. TSCHOP
MRS. KUNKEL
Ch-ch-ch-changes…
 One teacher
 Independence and responsibility
 Making meaning of words
 Assessment
 From “I can’t” to “Let me try a strategy”.
 We are a TEAM!
Beginning of Year Assessments
 Writing Assessment – 2 complete sentences
 Five sequential sentences with punctuation,
capitalization, spacing, and appropriate
spelling by the end of year.
 DRA – Reading Level Assessment
 What level text can your child read and retell?
 Phoneme Segmentation Fluency
 Taking a word and breaking it apart – cat is
c/a/t
Beginning of Year Assessments
 Nonsense Word Fluency
 Reading a nonsense word prepares students to
break apart words with more than one syllable –
Example – ket is a piece of market
 Everyday Math Beginning of Year Assessment
 Counting forward and backward by 1s, 2s, 5s, 10s
 Identifying and explaining patterns
 Identifying each coin
The Monster – Vowel Sounds
 As a whole, first grade’s largest challenge has been students’
knowledge of their short vowels. If students do not know their short
vowel sounds, they have a difficult time blending and decoding
words.
 How can you help?
 Websites: www.starfall.com
What Can You Do To Help Us?
ENJOY YOUR SUMMER, but while you do…
 Talk to your child about money – counting and making change
 Help your child begin understanding time – “Oh look, it is 10:00..”
 Read together – even if your child is not the one reading, they benefit
from your daily conversation
 Help your child develop more independent skills – tying shoes, etc.
 Do activities that boost fine motor skills – finger paint, sidewalk chalk,
playdough, anything that has your child using their fingers to
strengthen them.
Thank you!
We look forward to working
with you and having
a successful year!
