Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News

December 1, 2017

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.
