Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News
November 1, 2024
Review of our week:
I wanted to thank all the dad who came and carved pumpkins with us on yesterday and the moms who did our Halloween Party. It was so much fun. I will post pictures on the blog.
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 a while that would be great. If you can make a copy of the picture, so that we can keep it, that would be the best. I like to put them in their portfolios. 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.
FYI:
*Now that is starting to get colder, please make sure your child is bringing a jacket and or coat. You never know from 1 day to the next what it will be like when we go out. They need something to keep them warm. We will usually still go out unless it is below freezing or it is snowing. Also, to be out in the snow, they have to have snow boots on, otherwise they just stay on the blacktop to play. They need to be waterproof snow boots.
*We have had a lot of really tired kids. Will you please make sure your child is getting enough sleep, especially with the time change this weekend.
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 8. 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.
Gingerbread Houses:
We will be making gingerbread houses in December. I have done a Signup Genius with things we could use. It is mostly candy and frosting. If you could donate anything, that would be great. I have seen things in the stores lately and I know they will go fast, so I thought I would put this out now. You can send them any time you want to.
