Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News

Review of our week:

         We have done a lot this week.  In math we started on Chapter 4(Subtraction strategies). I will make a copy of addition and subtraction flashcards and send them home next week. Please, take some time to help your child practice these. You can also purchase a set from Walmart for just a few dollars. 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.

Party:

         When we have 25 days of 100% attendance we earn a party.  We earned one this week.  The class decided to have a piñata.  I will get a piñata.  If you could send some candy (leftover trick or treat candy will even work) to go in our piñata, that would be great.  Thanks!!!!
