Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News
April 4, 2013
Review
of our week:
Congratulations
to those who participated in the Science Fair.
Lily from our class took 3rd place. There were some really
neat experiments. In math we have been working on place value and shapes. We
also had our store for the quarter last week.
Homework:
I
had several students who did not have
very much money to spend at our store, because they have not been doing their
homework or reading their take home book.
I really need you to keep working with your child.
On the math homework for
this week, your child needs to find 3 things around your house in the shape of
a circle, square, triangle and a rectangle.
They will also need to label them.
So, they will find 3 things in each of those shapes.
Book
Order:
I will be sending home 2 more book orders. This would be a great way to get your child
some books to read over the summer. I will
be sending one home today. If you would
like to order books they are due back on Thursday. You can also order online.
Flat
Stanley:
I
have attached a letter explaining what we are doing with Flat Stanley, please
make sure you read it and get me your address as soon as possible. Please pick
somebody who will take him and do some fun things with him. This is one of the most fun activities we do.
I would really like to get them in the mail on Monday. You can even email the address.
Reading
Celebration:
To earn the reading celebration this year
they decided as a school we should be able to read 1 Million minutes. As a school for the month of March we only
read 173,500 minutes. We are not even
close to our goal. I have SO many in our
class who are not even turning their reading records in. I really need you to make sure they are
reading and get them turned in. I have
stressed to them the importance of being honest.
Portfolios:
I
would like to start getting the portfolios put together. If you have not already sent your child’s
binder and sheet protectors, please do so as soon as possible. I have taken pictures throughout the
year. If you would like me to print them
and put them in their portfolio, please send a $5 Walmart gift card. If you would just like a CD with the pictures
on it you can send $2.
Stuffed
Animals:
I am
trying to come up with some new things we can do in our Daily 5. I would like to get some stuffed animals that
they could read during one of our reading times. If any of you have a stuffed animal that you
would be willing to donate to our class, I would really appreciate. Please, don’t send anything that is important
to your child. I hope this will keep
then interested until the end of the year.
Thanks:
I
just wanted to tell all of you thanks for everything you have done this year. I appreciate all of your help and
support. It makes my job so much easier
with your help.
FYI’s:
* If you are planning on moving and will not be in
our school next year, will you please let me know? They would like to know, before making class
lists for next year.
* I have put most everything on the upcoming
events, until the end of the year. I
will explain later what some of them are.
I just want you to be aware of some of the things we will be doing. The last couple of months, things get pretty
crazy. The parents are invited to come to the First Grade Program.
