December 1 Newsletter

Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News

December 1, 2023


Review of our week:

Mrs. Olcott from SUU had her last day yesterday.  We have really enjoyed having her in our class and will miss her. We have been working on different addition strategies. Reading fables in our readers. We are all making so much progress in our reading.  Thank you for reading with your child at home. We have been doing some fun Christmas things. We also made a countdown to Christmas.  On Tuesday we will be doing our Dibels assessment.

Homework:

I know this time of year is very busy. Please encourage your child to fill out their reading record right after they are finished reading, so you don’t have to try and remember at the end of the month how many days they read.

Cold Weather:

I know the weather is changing every day, please make sure your child is coming with a coat.  We go out to recess unless it is raining, snowing or below freezing.  Also, when there is snow they need to have snow boots on to go out in the snow.  If they don’t, they will have to stay on the blacktop.

Gingerbread Houses:

We are going to be making gingerbread houses on Thursday, December 14 at 2:00.  We could still use a couple of bags of candy.  You can either sign up on the Signup-Genius or just send them in. The candy can be M&M’s, small candy canes, peppermints, smarties or anything else you think would look nice on a gingerbread house.  

I would like to invite all parents come in and help with the gingerbread houses.  If you would like to donate something please have it here by Tuesday, December 12, so I will know if I need to get anything and I can have it all sorted. Thank you for those of you who have already donated things.
