Our first graders are opening up to many new adventures through books. Some of our favorite characters are Junie B. Jones, Clifford, Mrs. Piggle Wiggle, Laura Ingalls, Tacky the Penguin, Miss Nelson and the Huggles. A few of our favorite authors are Robert Munsch, Bill Martin, Jr., John Archambault and Barbara Park.
Children read and are read to on a daily basis.
Students are encouraged to continue their reading practice at home. First Graders at Chestnut Grove attend Skill Study Groups three days a week. Here, students concentrate on skills for their reading levels. Students are encouraged to do their best. Students are praising each other for a job well done.
