Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News

May 3, 2025


Review of our week:

We have had a pretty good week.  We are working on comparing lengths and reviewing addition and subtraction.  We started on our unit in Listening and Learning about how America became a country.  We are doing really well in our reading unit.  Take home books were due this week, if your child has not returned their book, please send it on Monday.  They still can read on RAZ kids.  

We will be doing our first Acadiance math test on Monday.  It will be addition and subtraction, if you would like to review with your child this weekend, that would be great.  We will be doing our Acadiance Reading test on Thursday, May 8.  Please, please keep reading with your child.  The reading at home makes such a difference.  

Mountain Eye Institute’s Kite Flight:

Our class turned in the most reading records for this and we earned a pizza party next Thursday.  Thanks to everyone who went and turned theirs in.

Reading Helpers:

I really wanted to thank all of you who have taken the time to come in and read this year.  I know it takes a lot of time, but it really has made a big difference with helping our class learn how to read this year.  Next week will be our last week.  Thanks again for everything you have done this year.
