Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News

August 31, 2018

Review of our week:

         We have been doing some assessing this week to see where your child is in reading. In the afternoon, we interview our leader and each child then writes something about the leader and draws a picture.  When we finish each student will have a book they have made with a page about each person in our class.  I am very excited to see how much each child has improved in their writing abilities.  In math we have been working on adding 0 and adding digits in any order and ways to make 9 & 10. 

Next Week’s Leaders:

         September 3 – No School (Labor Day)

         September 4 – Jeanivieve

         September 5- Jonah

         September 6- Johnathan

         September 7 – Maylie (Celebrate Maylie’s Birthday also)

        

*When your child is the leader please send a healthy snack for the class.  If you can’t provide a snack please let me know, so I can get something.

Homework:

         Your child should be reading every night. At this point their reading time can be a combination of them reading and you reading to them.  I know some of you are reading the full 20 to your child and that is ok.    I hope we will be starting our Take Home Library soon.  Your child will be getting a book they can read on their own.  Raz is also a great resource to be using.

Reading Records:

         I have included the reading record for September. The reading record is due by the date at the bottom.  Please, take the time to help your child with their reading.  Thanks

Book Order:

         I am sending home the September book orders.  There are some really great books to look at.  If you would like to order books, your order is due on Thursday, September 6.  You can order online if you go to https://orders.scholastic.com/L9GWX

Family Fun Day:

         I have included several dates for Family Fun Days.  If would like to do a Family Fun Day and one of those dates works for you, just let me know.  If you have any questions, please let me know.
