Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News

Review of our week:
Miss Kemery 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 Thanksgiving things.
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 Wednesday, December 17 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 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. Remember you do need to do the fingerprints at the district office. If you would like to donate something please have it here by Monday, December 15 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.
