Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News

April 4, 2014

Review of our week:

         In math we finishing up measurement and telling time.  I had several students who are struggling with telling time.  Would you please work with your child on this.  We only have to be able to tell time to the hour and half hour. We wrote a paper about Spring. We have been sharing stories from writing.  I am so impressed with the writing abilities of this class.

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, April 17.  You can also order online.  If you have any questions about the books or would like some suggestions, just let me know.

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 17.  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.
