December 8 Newsletter

Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News

December 8, 2017

Review of our week:

         We have been doing some more fun Christmas things.  We  filled out an application to be one of Santa’s Elves, talked about Christmas in Australia (which is in the summer), made gingerbread men and wrote letters to Santa.  In math we are working on related facts.

Reading:

         I know this time of year gets really busy, but it is some important that you make sure your child keeps reading the next couple of weeks. I really need you as parents to help your child with their reading, so they can make the progress they need to. At this point they should be doing most of that 20 minutes of reading.  If you would like some extra books for your child to read on their independent reading level, please let me know.

        

F.Y.I’s

         I just wanted to thank all of you for everything you do for our class and me.  I won’t be sending home a newsletter next week, so I hope you all have a Merry Christmas. Thanks to all the parents who helped with gingerbread houses and sent things to decorate them.

December 1 Newsletter

Review of our week:

         We have been doing some fun Christmas things.  In math we started Chapter 5. We are working on related facts.   For writing we wrote letters to Santa. We made a countdown to Christmas and our gingerbread houses.  Thank you for sending stuff to make them.

Homework:

         I know this time of year is very busy.  Remember to have your child keep reading.  Please encourage your child to fill out a tree right after they are finished reading, so you don’t have to try and remember at the end of the month how many days they read.  

Book Orders:

         I am sending home the December Book Orders. There are some really fun books.  If you would like to order some for Christmas, please let me know and I will keep them for you.  The orders are due by Thursday, December 7.  You can also order online. If they are for Christmas, please let me know.  If your child has a birthday or half birthday in January I am sending home paper about them getting a book for their birthday.
