Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News
August 29, 2012
Review
of our week:
In
math we have been working on graphing, patterning and number concepts. We learn a new poem each day for the letter
of the day. We also interview our leader
and each child has to write a sentence about that person and draw a
picture. I have already seen an
improvement in many areas since we started.
Reading:
I
have started testing to see what reading level your child is on. In a couple of weeks we will be sending home
a book each night on your child’s reading level. Our reading homework starts TOMORROW. Your child needs to be reading for 20 minutes
each night. Remember for now part of the
20 minutes can be you reading to them.
We learned how to read the pictures this week. I would like your child to read the pictures
to you and then have you read the words to them. I have a lot of really great
prizes for those students who meet the reading goal. I really need you to help your child with
their reading homework every night.
I am sending home the first reading record.
They only need to read for 5 nights, but there are 7 on the reading
record. Reading records will always be
due on Friday, unless we are gone.
Field
Trip:
We
are going on a Field Trip to Cedar Breaks on Friday, September 14. On this day
your child will need to eat school lunch, please pay the office. I will give
you more information next week. I am
sending home a permission slip that needs to be back by Monday, the 10th.
FYI:
*
The office has asked that you let your child know before they come to school if
they need to get home a different way than what they usually do, like if they
need to ride the bus when they normally get picked up. If something comes up and you don’t know
until later in the day you need to call before 3:00. This will help them out a lot. THANKS!
*
School starts at 8:50 please make sure your child is here before that time.
They have bell work to do everyday.

leftover snacks I usually keep them and then we can have a couple of extra days
of snacks at the end of our review. If
