Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News

November 9, 2018

Review of our week:

         In math we started on Chapter 4(Subtraction strategies). I will make a copy of subtraction flashcards and send them home next week. Please, take some time to help your child practice these. You can also purchase a set from Walmart for just a few dollars

         Thank you for those of you who sent information about your veterans.  We learned some really neat things.  If you have not sent the information in, you can still do it next week.

        

Homework:

         I can’t stress to you enough how important it is that your child is reading every night.  Your child should be reading the full 20 minutes by now.  They are doing it in class, so I know they can do it at home also.  I also have several students who are not practicing their sight words.  This really holds them back from advancing in their reading.

Cold Weather:

         The weather changes so much from day to day.  Please make sure your child has a warm jacket and or a coat to wear outside to recess.

        

Box Tops:

         As you are doing your baking and cooking for the Holidays, make sure you are keeping your Box Tops.  Our class won a doughnut party on Thursday for having the most.
