Hello First Grade Families,
You may notice teachers wearing yellow scarves this week. The yellow scarves represent National School Choice Week. This week is dedicated to raising public awareness of all types of education options for children. These options include traditional public schools, public charter schools, magnet schools, online learning, private schools, and homeschooling. Thanks to school choice Oasis Academy is thriving.

Math News from Miss Garcia...
We continued to work on non-standard measurement this week. The first grade students will be able to distinguish between a longer vs. shorter object as well as compare 3 objects by length.
All week the 1st graders used manipulatives such as: tiles, cubes, paperclips and discs to compare “about” how long a specific object was in length. They also filled out a table and were required to choose an object to measure, estimate its length and record its actual length. They then had to discuss their findings with several classroom partners. Estimation is a difficult concept for 1st graders to understand.
This week, as a class, we will focus on addition of 3 numbers within word problems. We will begin to compose and decompose to make a sum of ten or greater. This will also introduce the students to the Associative Property.
Associative Property:
Add 2 + (6 + 4) = 2 + 10 = 12
The 6 and 4 can be used to compose a 10. So.... 2 + 10 = 12
