Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News
August 30, 2019
Review
of our week:
We
have been doing some assessing this week to see where your child is in reading.
Each day, 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 2 – No School (Labor Day)
September 3 –Jayson
September 4- Abe (Celebrate Abe’s Birthday)
September 5- Jeffrey
September 6 – Kason
*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
Parents:
I
would like to start having parents come in and read with the class the week
after Labor Day. They can be moms, dads or grandparents. I have included a list of the parents who
signed up to come in and read. If you
can and would like to come in and read with us, we would love to have you. Let me know if there is a day that would work
for you.
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
