Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News

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. I have been seeing a lot of progress in reading.  I am very happy about that. We made some fun Halloween writings and projects. 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 Thursday October 28.  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 Monday, October 25 with the permission slip.  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:

Please continue to practice these with your child.  If they don’t know the sight words, it really holds them back in their reading.  If you don’t know where the list is please let me know and I can get you a new one. 

Carving Pumpkins:

I only have 1 dad so far that can come and carve pumpkins.  If you are able to come and help carve pumpkins, please let me know.  I want to make sure I have enough pumpkins.  It will be Friday, October 29 at 10:30.

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
