Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News

December 6, 2013

Review of our week:

         We have been doing some fun Christmas things.  In math we have been working on counting on, doubles, doubles plus and minus one.  We have been reading some fun Christmas stories with comprehension questions in reading.    For writing we wrote letters to Santa, filled out an application to be one.

Homework:

         I know this time of year is very busy.  Remember to have your child keep reading.  Please encourage your child to fill out a tree right after they are finished reading, so you don’t have to try and remember at the end of the week how many days they read. Over the break please take the time to review the words we have had so far with your child.  Some are still having a hard time reading some of them. We will not have spelling words when we come back.  I want to take that week to really review our words.

         I am sending home a math worksheet for homework.  It is due back by next Friday.

FYI:

·      Please make sure your child is coming with a warm coat on.  If the weather is below freezing we won’t go out.  Other wise, we go out to recess.  If there is snow on the ground, they need to have snow boots on to be out in the snow.

* We could use 1 more parent to help with the Christmas party.

* I only have 1 mom coming in to help with the Gingerbread Houses.  If you would like to come we could use the help.  Also, if you would like to donate something, please have it here by Thursday the 12^th.
