Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News

April 4, 2014

Review of our week:

         In math we started on the next chapter.  We are comparing numbers with the greater than and less than signs.  We wrote a paper about Spring. Thanks for sending some stuffed animals.  They class has loved reading to them.  We have been sharing stories from writing.  I am so impressed with the writing abilities of this class.  Thank you to those of you who sent treats for our party.  We have already had 3 days with 100% attendance.  We still have enough days before school gets out to earn another party with everyone keeps coming. 

  

Homework:

         The PTA is doing a contest for the Reading Celebration at the end of the year.  Our class is competing against the other First Grade class to see who reads the most minutes.  I need every child to make sure they are reading and turning in their reading records.  If your child reads more than the 20 minutes, you can make a note to me on their reading record. 

         I am sorry I forgot to send home the timed reading passage and I sent home the same comprehension paper as the week before.

FYI’s:

* Keep saving those Box Tops.

* 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.

* Teacher Requests for next year are due into the office by April 11.  There is a form you can download on the school web page.

* 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.
