Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News
May 2, 2014
Review
of our week:
We
finished our chapter on time and measurement.
I was really happy with how everybody did on the test. We are almost finished with adding and
subtracting double digits. We will start
on graphing and shapes next week. We are
starting to do some really fun writings for the end of the year. If you haven’t helped your child with their
autobiography paper, please do so.
We
had so much fun on our field trip. If
any of you are going to be buying flowers, Ladybug nursery is a great place to
go. They were really nice and let all of
the first graders plant a flower to bring home.
They also gave each class a package of ladybugs. It would be nice if we could support them.
Animal
Reports:
I
have assigned each student an animal to do an oral report on. I have included all of the information. I
would like you to help your child write it a report form and not just answer
the questions. Please check the paper in
your child’s backpack, so you will know when your child is scheduled to do
their report. If you have any questions
please let me know. You are welcome to
come and watch.
Reading
Parents:
I
really wanted to thank all of you who have taken the time to come in and read
this year. I know it takes a lot of
time, but it really has made a big difference with helping our class learn how
to read this year. Next week will be the
last week to come in and read. Thanks
again for everything you have done this year.
Field
Day:
I still
need 1 more parent to do half a day on Field Day. 1 in the morning or 1 in the
afternoon to help on Field Day if anybody is interested.
End
Of Year Party:
I
had emailed everybody asking about an End of the Year Party. I have truly loved this class and do not want
to see it end. From the response I
received, most everybody said they would want to do a party at the park. This is what I was thinking. I think the easiest thing to do would be
pizza. We could have each family donate $5-$10
to pay for pizza and then sign up drinks, chips, salads and desserts. I was thinking we could do it Monday, May 19th
at 6:00 at the park on main street by the library. If anybody has any suggestions, please let me
know. I will send out a paper next week
with all of the information on it and get a count for how many people will be
coming.
