Mrs. Eichberger’s First Grade Newsletter October 21, 2004 Language I have placed your child in their guided reading groups. Next week, I will assess all children for their developmental reading level. The results will be discussed at our upcoming parent teacher conferences. Students were introduced to contractions I’ll (I will) and I’m (I am) through the story the Chick and the Ducking. We wrote about what we want to be when I grow up. The following are some excerpts from what we wrote about. "I’m going to be a race car driver." Randy "I’m going to be an artist. I’ll paint." Tiffany "I’m going to be a singer. I’ll sing to people and I’ll sing to children." Kylie "I’m going to be a teacher and I’ll help children." Jessica "I’ll be a clock maker. I’ll help people tell time. " Emma "I’m going to be in the army. " I’ll help people that do not have houses." Kyler "I’m going to be a ballet teacher. I’ll teach people how to dance."
