Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News

Review
of our week:
In
math this week we have been working on adding 3 numbers and graphing. We did a lot of fun activities for the 100th
day of school. In writing we have really
been working on sentence structure. We have done some really fun writing
activities.
Homework:
After
your child reads their take home book to you, have them retell you the story
and ask them some questions. This will
really help with their comprehension. I
can’t stress enough to you, how important it is that your child is reading
every night. It’s just like anything else, you have to practice to get better.
I am very happy with the progress we have been making this year in reading.
Thank you for taking the time to read with your child.
I have attached another
math homework sheet and a comprehension sheet.
I really need you to sit down and do this with your child. As I checked the Sam story this week for
comprehension I only had 3 students get the punctuation marks all correct. I really need you to be helping your child
with this. If you have any questions,
please let me know.
Book
Orders:
I am
sending out the February book orders, so if you want books for Valentines they
will be back. If you would like to order books they are due back by Tuesday, February 5th. I will be doing it that morning. If you have any questions just let me
know. If you would like to order online
the code is L9GWX. I just wanted to
remind you, if you order online, you receive a $5 coupon to use on your next
book order.
Lions
Kite Flight for Reading & Sight:
The
Lion’s Club sponsors this reading program every year. All your child has to do is their reading
homework and keep track of the minutes.
For First grade they need to read 60 minutes a week, which is less than
what their homework requires. They need
to keep track of their minutes on the sheet I am sending home and then on April
27 go to Cedar Middle School and turn their reading record in. Your child will receive a kit and a chance to
win some other cool prizes. The Lion’s
Club actually donates money to our school for every child who
participates. This is a really easy
fundraiser for our school. I really
encourage you to help your child do this.
Valentine’s
Day:
We
will be exchanging Valentines in our class.
If your child would like to bring Valentine cards please make sure there
is enough for each child in the class. I
have attached a list of all the students in our class to the email. If you would like to send your child’s
Valentines early I will just keep them in my office. If you have any questions please let me know.
FYI’s:
* Keep saving your Box Tops.
* Thanks for everything you do. I really want to
thank all of you who come in and read in the mornings and those of you who do
things at home. Thanks again for everything.
* Please let me know if your child would like to
participate in the Spelling Bee.
* If you would like to do a Family Fun Day, please
look at the dates that are available and let me know which one you would
like.
