Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News

February 14, 2014

Review of our week:

         The weeks just seem to go faster and faster.  We had a very good week. In math we have been working on fact families. In writing we are still working on sentence structure.  We wrote about “What a Friend is…”.  When your child is writing at home, please watch and make sure they are making the letters the correct way.  Most of the time, they are just not taking their time to make it look nice.

        

Homework:

         I know there are less days in the month of February, please make sure your child is reading everyday.  Reading records are due back every Friday.  Even if your child has not filled in every heart, please have them turn it in.  I would really like to see how much each child is reading at home.  I have several students who have not turned in some or any of their homework I have been sending home.  I also have many students who are not bringing their Take Home Book back.  The Take Home Library is a great resource, please take advantage of it. 

         I just wanted to remind you, that your child needs to be instructional on level J to be on grade level for the end of the year.  To be on track for that your child needs to be an instructional level G going onto H right now.

         We will not have new spelling words next week, because it is a short week.  We will use next week to review the words on our word wall. 

FYI’s:

* Keep saving those Box Tops

* Let me know if you are interested in doing a Family Fun Day.
