Bali’s First Grade News

Review
of our week:
I
can’t believe how fast this year has gone. In math we working on 3-D
Shapes. I have also been doing some
benchmarks with reading levels. We are starting some fun writing pieces, that
you will love when your child brings home their portfolio at the end of the
year.
DIBELS:
We
will be doing our DIBELS testing Thursday morning. I would appreciate it if you would make sure
child does their reading this week. I sent home some non-sense word pages it
would be great if you could have your child practice those. We have made so much progress this year. I really
want it to show on their scores. We will
do a final reading level assessment closer to the end of the year. Thank you for working so hard with your child
at home. It has really paid off.
Kite
Flight for Reading:
The
Kite Festival is Saturday. We sent home
a paper for you to keep track of your child’s minutes on. If your child turns this
in, they will receive some great prizes and the school earns money. If you can’t make it please send it with
someone who is going.
Animal
Reports:
I
will be assigning each student an animal to do an oral report on. All of the information is in their folders. Please check the paper in your child’s
backpack, so you will know when your child is scheduled to do their report and
what animal. Please use the questions as a guide, but write it in paragraph
form. If you have any questions please
let me know. You are welcome to come and
watch.
Library
Books:
Tomorrow
will be the last day to check out library books. They will all be due back Tuesday, May
1. If you have lost them Mrs. Stucki
will send home a paper for how much it will cost to replace them.
Volunteers
Needed:
I
know there is a lot going on in the next month or so, but we have some fun
things going and we really need some parents to come and help.
I need 1-2 parents to
come and go on the field trip with us.
It will be on Wednesday, May 9.
We are going to the library, Ladybug Nursery and Discovery Park. Depending on
how much room there is on the bus, you may need to drive.
I also need either 1
parent all day for field day or 1 parent in the morning and 1 in the afternoon
to take our class around. Field Day is
on Tuesday, May 21.
On the field trip your child will need to each school
lunch. If your child usually eats home
lunch, you need to pay the office for their lunch for this day.
******
On both of these days, please make sure your child has sunscreen on and has a
jacket just in case. Thanks
First
Grade Music Program:
The
First grade classes will start practicing a program that we are going to perform
in the gym on Monday, May 21 at 2:00. We would love to see all of you there. Please have your child wear their nice school
clothes.
Take
Home Books:
Friday,
May 4 will be the last day for Take Home Library Books, so they will all be due
