November 30 Newsletter


Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News
November 30, 2018

Review of our week:
         We have been doing some fun Christmas things.  In math we took Chapter 4 test and started Chapter 5.  We are working on related facts.  We made chains for the 70th day of school to decorate our classroom. We also made a countdown to Christmas. 

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 Friday, December 8.  You can also order online.   If your child has a birthday or half birthday in January I am sending home paper about them getting a book for their birthday. I have several students who did not bring their birthday paper back.  If your child has had a birthday and you didn’t send back the orange paper, please do so and I will order their book.

Cold Weather:
         Now that the weather is getting colder, please make sure your child is coming with a coat.  We go out to recess unless it is raining, snowing or below freezing.  Also, when there is snow they need to have snow boots on to go out in the snow.  If they don’t, they will have to stay on the blacktop.

Gingerbread Houses:
         We will be making our gingerbread houses on Friday, December 7 at 2:00.  You are all welcome to come.  It is nice to have some helpers.  We usually need some help with the frosting.  If you would like to send a thing of white frosting or a bag of candy to decorate with, that would be great.  Thank you to those of you who have already sent some stuff.  If you can send it by Thursday, December 6, that will be great.  That way I will know what I will need to get.
