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 Wednesday, October 19.  I sent 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 17 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 3 dads 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 Monday, October 31 at 10:00.

Take Home Books:

Please make sure your child is reading their take home books and returning them on Tuesdays.
