December 7 Newsletter

Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News

December 7, 2018

Review of our week:

         We have been doing some more fun Christmas things.  We read  Santa’s Stuck and wrote how we would help him get out, we also wrote letters to Santa. Santa even came to visit our class on Wednesday. Next week we are going to fill out an application to be one of Santa’s Elves, talk about Christmas in Australia (which is in the summer), made gingerbread men.  In math we are working on related facts. We will finish the chapter before Christmas break.

Reading:

         I know this time of year gets really busy, but it is so important that you make sure your child keeps reading the next couple of weeks. I really need you as parents to help your child with their reading, so they can make the progress they need to. At this point they should be doing most of that 20 minutes of reading.  If you would like some extra books for your child to read on their independent reading level, please let me know.

        

F.Y.I’s

         I just wanted to thank all of you for everything you do for our class and me.  I won’t be sending home a newsletter next week, so I hope you all have a Merry Christmas. Thanks to all the parents who helped with gingerbread houses and sent things to decorate them.
