January 12 Newsletter

Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News

January 12, 2024


Review of our week:

In Math we are comparing numbers.  In CKLA Skills we are reading informational text about animals that live in a zoo.  In Listening and Learning we are learning about our outer space.  This weekend would you please let your child go out after dark and see what they can see in the night sky?


Homework:

After your child has finished reading their book, I would like you to have them tell you what happened in the book and also ask them some questions to clarify.  Most of them are getting to the point where they can decode very well, now we need to start working on comprehension and fluency.  

I have packets of books on each reading level.  If you would be interested in some extra books for your child to read on their reading level, please let me know. 


FYI’s:

        * Remember take home books are switched every day, but Fridays.  I have a lot of kids who are not         reading their take home books.  This is such a great resource, please take advantage of it.  This is             also a crucial time of year with our reading.  I really need them reading for 20 minutes every                 night.

        * Thanks for everything you have done to help our class this year. I really want to thank all of you         who come in and read in the mornings. 

* Please watch for SEP sign-up link next week.
