Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News

November 13, 2015

Review of our week:

         We have done a lot this week.  In math we took our Chapter 3 Test and started on Chapter 4. Last week, I sent home a copy of some addition flashcards, please take some time to help your child practice these. You can also purchase a set from Walmart for just a few dollars.  I will be sending home the subtraction ones in a week or two.  In writing we learned how to write notes, so if your child writes you a note please try and write back to them.  We also wrote about what we were thankful for.

         Thank you for those of you who sent information about your veterans.  We learned some really neat things.  If you have not sent the information in, you can still do it next week.

        

Homework:

         I can’t stress to you enough how important it is that your child is reading every night.  Your child should be reading the full 20 minutes by now.  They are doing it in class, so I know they can do it at home also.  I also have several students who are not practicing their sight words.  This really holds them back from advancing in their reading.

        

Box Tops:

         As you are doing your baking and cooking for the Holidays, make sure you are keeping your Box Tops.

Cold Weather:

         The weather changes so much from day to day.  Please make sure your child has a warm jacket and or a coat to wear outside to recess.
