    News From Ms. Tindalls Class


    Thanks for your awesome support of our first grade show! This week we will take some
    time to review progress through some informal assessments and also allow time for
    students to reflect on their own learning, progress and next steps. I look forward to sharing
    information with you in this weeks conferences and hearing your perspectives on your
    childs learning too.
    A note about word study: The study of vocabulary and spelling in Gr. One is taught
    through the process of structured word inquiry. This means that the children are learning
    to not only spell words correctly, but to understand that English spelling is based on
    meaning, and be able to explain the spelling of common words.
    The students are encouraged to become Word Detectives and follow a specific
    process of investigation using the following questions:
    1. What does the word mean?
    2. How is the word built? (prefixes and suffixes)
    3. What words are in its family? (related by meaning)
    4. What is the origin of the word?
    5. What do you hear?
    Word study may be a distinct lesson but is very often integrated throughout the day and in
    a variety of subjects.
    In partnership, Ms. Tindall
