Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News

January 21, 2022

Review of our week:

In our reading program we are reading an informational text about animals.  In listening and learning we are learning about astronomy. In Math we working on place value. 

SEP Week:

January 31 - February 4 is SEP week.  I have sent home a paper with your scheduled time, please try and make your appointment.  If you can’t please give me some other options.  School will get out at 2:30 each day, even Friday.

Kite Flight Reading Record:

The other day I sent home a blue reading record.  Every year the Lions Club along with other organizations and businesses sponsor this reading record and Health Fair.  Please keep track of your child’s reading minutes on this reading record as well as the one I send home for class.  THEY DO NO NEED TO READ MORE MINUTES FOR THIS ONE.  You can count their reading minutes for both. The school earns money for each reading record turned in.  This is a great way for our school to earn money. 

Valentine’s Day:

We will be exchanging Valentines in our class.  If your child would like to bring Valentine cards please make sure there is enough for each child in the class.  I have attached a list of all the students in our class to the email.  You can put names on them, but you don’t have to. If you would like to send your child’s Valentines early I will just keep them in my office.  If you have any questions please let me know. If you put a treat with the Valentine, please make sure it is prepackaged. 

We do have some college girls and a high school girl that comes and helps.  I will add their names to the list, but you don’t have to send one for them.

Spelling Bee:

I also sent home the list of words for the for the school spelling bee.  If your child is interested, they can start studying. The test will probably be the first part of February.
