September 13 Newsletter

Mrs. Bali’s First Grade News

September 13, 2024


Review of our week:

Each day we interview the leader and I am really seeing some improvement in our writing.  We have also been working on sentence structure.  We are working on subtracting and adding within 10.  We have started reading stories in our readers.

Homework:

You and your child need to be reading for 20 minutes every night. We started the Take Home Library this week.  These books are on your child’s independent reading level, they should be reading them to you.  They may seem easy and that is because they are or they should be.  They are one level lower than where I have them instructionally.   I would like your child to read the book a couple of times.  After they have read the book have them tell you what happened in the book and ask them some questions about the book for comprehension.    Please, be patient with their take home book level, it takes a while for me to read with them when they are ready to move.  If your child is on a higher reading level, they won’t move through the levels as fast.


Please help your child to read it and bring it back every day.

Reading Helpers:

I would like to start having parents come in and read with the class in 2 weeks. They can be moms, dads or grandparents.     If you can and would like to come in and read with us, we would love to have you. The time will be either 8:30-9:00 or 8:45-9:15, if that works better for you.   Let me know if there is a day that would work for you.  You do have to have your background check with the district.
