Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News

October 12, 2018

Review of our week:

         In math we have been working double facts.  I sent home a couple of games and a Doubles Rap that you can help your child learn these math facts.  I will send home flashcards next week.  We made some fun ghost pictures. I just wanted to thank all of you for your help and support.  I really do appreciate it. You are all so wonderful.

Field Trip:

         We are going to the Robinson Family Pumpkin Patch on Wednesday, October 24.  I am sending home a permission slip.  They ask for $1 to pay for the pumpkin your child will get to pick. It is due by next Wednesday.  If you would like to come with us, we would love to have you meet us there.  There won’t be room on the bus.  If you have any questions, please let me know.

Sight Words:

         I have a lot of students who have not brought their paper back saying they are ready to pass them off.  This is holding your child back from moving on in their reading.  I really need you to practice those words with your child.  If you don’t know where the list is please let me know and I can get you a new one.

Carving Pumpkins:

      I have 8 dads (Keith, Jared, Whitney, Dustyn, Jaren, Mike, Brett, Trevor). If I missed anyone or if there are others who would like to come in, please let me know. I just want to make sure I have enough pumpkins for the dads. We will do it on Halloween at 10:30. Thanks

Progress Reports:

·      I am sending home Progress Reports next week.  There are not a lot of things marked for this quarter.  It doesn’t mean your child can’t do those things, I just haven’t assessed it yet.  On the counting if they were able to count by 1’s to 120 I circled 1’s. If they were not able to do it, I wrote at the bottom what number they were able to count to. Please look over this
