March 22 Newsletter

Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News

March 22, 2013

Review of our week:

         In math we have been working place value and reviewing. I have also been doing some assessing. We finished up our Brassica Rapa unit.  We also wrote some really good “How To Catch a Leprechaun” stories.  We also worked on Antonyms.   We also had the Science Fair yesterday.  We will have our store for the end of the quarter next week.

Progress Reports:

I am sending them home today.  I would really like you to look at these and see if there is anything your child could work on.  I did mark most of the students with a slash with their math facts.  They know how to do them, but they do not know the facts yet.  This is something they could all be working on.

FYI’s:

* Library on Tuesday, please make sure your child has their books.

* Keep saving those Box Tops.

* We will be walking to CAL Ranch on Tuesday.  Please make sure your child has good walking shoes on and bring a jacket depending on the weather.  If you have not turned in their permission slip, please do it on Monday.

* There were a few of you who talked about doing a Family Fun, but didn’t schedule one.  If you would like to still do one, please get with me so we can schedule a time.

* I won’t be doing a newsletter next.  I am also not sending home homework or spelling words for next week.  The spelling words I am sending home are for the following week.

* Please make sure your child reads over the break.  We are still trying to earn the Reading Celebration and the chance to see Mr. Oldroyd kiss a pig.

* When we get back from Easter we will be doing a Flat Stanley project.  I will need each child to bring me an address of somebody who we can send their Flat Stanley to.  I will send some information, but I just wanted you to be thinking about it.
