Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News

October 29, 2021

Review of our week:

We had a lot of fun at the pumpkin patch.  It was great to have so many parents there with us. We have also enjoyed Red Ribbon Week. Thank you to all of the parents who helped with the party, carving pumpkins, going to the pumpkin patch and coming to the parade last week.  We love having parents involved in our day.  We are still working on addition strategies in math. We will have a test next week.  

Book Orders:

I have included a book order.  You can click on the link at the bottom on the email and order online.  They will be due on Friday, November 5.  If you are ordering books for Christmas, please let me know.  I won’t send them home with your child, but I will let you know when they come in.

Veterans:

I would like each child to find out if they have any Veterans in their family.  If they do, I would like them to find out any information and find pictures.  If you could send things that we can keep, at least for awhile that would be great. If you can make a copy of the picture, so that we can keep it, that would be the best.  If it is something that your child can just bring for the day and share, we would love to see it.  Part of our First Grade core is American Symbols, so we are going to be really focusing on patriotism.  If you could send them sometime in the next couple of weeks, that would be great.
